Advnced Installer VS2019 integration stopped working

[jusvu]

Hi! I have been using Advanced Installer for years and it has been working just perfectly. Now, for some reason, my existing Advanced Installer projects cannot be opened and I cannot even create any new Advanced Installer project in the Visual Studio 2019.

If I check the existing Advanced Installer project (part of my two project solution), it shows "load failed". If I then try to reload the project, Visual Studio shows "The operation could not be completed" popup window and the Output view has text "<mypath>\<myproject>.aiproj : error : Not found".

If I try to add a new Advanced Installer project (Right click solution -> Add -> New project -> Advanced Installer project), it just shows a popup "Not found" and refuses to create the project.

I don''t know what happened... Maybe Windows update broke something? I updated Advanced Installer to the latest 22.4 version and did the same for the extension in Visual Studio, then I tried to disable->enable the extension, but nothing seems to help. Any idea what might be wrong?

It works now! The problem was Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). After repairing that, Advanced Installer started to work OK. Case closed.
