Cannot use VS extension anymore.

Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:47 pm

Hi,
I started getting the following errors when starting VS:
The advinstvsinstegrationpackage package did not load correctly...
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, restarted my pc and even followed this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/175 ... -correctly
to delete the files here:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16_xxxx\ComponentModelCache

Nothing helped.
I keep getting the same error all the time.

What can I do?

Hello,

Could you please give me some more details about your environment?

For instance, what version of Advanced Installer are you using? Is it our latest version, 17.5?

If that is the case, could you please check your Visual Studio and let me know if you are running the latest version? For VS2019, that would be 16.7.5. If not, could you please update your Visual Studio to the latest version and let me know if that helps?


Best regards,

I run with the latest advanced installer. I also uninstalled its extension and reinstalled.
I updated VS to the latest version - that solved it

Thanks

Great, thank you for your follow up on this.

Most likely the related Advanced Installer issue was caused by a Visual Studio issue that is affecting us too. In previous versions of Visual Studio there is an issue with one of the SDK dependencies our VS extension uses and I can confirm you the only workaround is to update to the latest version of Visual Studio.

All the best,
