Latest update fails to load. about efcorepowertools HOT 17 CLOSED

Please provide the Activitylog.xml file.

Try restarting/ repairing VS.

from efcorepowertools.

I tried restarting.
The message does not appear when I start VS "with no code", but when I open a solution it shows up.

ActivityLog.zip

I will try repairing next and update here.

from efcorepowertools.

I ran Visual Studio repair which reset my environment. Now the extension installs, does not generate any errors, but is unavailable. It shows as installed, but does not appear in the context menu nor options.

Attaching the install log:

from efcorepowertools.

Maybe it is disabled and must be enabled

from efcorepowertools.

It only loads when you have a solution open, btw

from efcorepowertools.

I see this in the ActivityLog:

CreateInstance failed for package [EFCorePowerToolsPackage]Source: 'mscorlib' Description: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\WalterDaniels\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_7c6dcbb8\Extensions\h2xnvun0.fdv\EFCorePowerTools.dll' or one of its dependencies.

That ActivityLog was from the initial error. After uninstalling/reinstalling the files are here:

from efcorepowertools.

I am not able to reproduce and no storm of error reports, so I must be specific to your system, maybe other extensions interacting.

from efcorepowertools.

I'm facing the same error.
As a workaround I tried to install a previous version, however, the real version is the last one available:

from efcorepowertools.

@FranCordeiro pls share the ActivityLog.xml file

from efcorepowertools.

Try to manually remove all files in the extension folder and download and install outside VS

from efcorepowertools.

@FranCordeiro Which exact VS version do you have?

from efcorepowertools.

@ErikEJ 17.3.6

@FranCordeiro I think you have to update to 17.5 or later (current is 17.9.7)
