    When loading pre-exisitng solution containing several VisualGDB-based projects, Visual Studio gets stuck with the progress message “Loading project 1 of 15” and never proceeds further.

    VisualGDB 5.6R4 (build 4534)

    Visual Studio Community 2022 64-bit (version 17.1.1)

    The same project tree was loading at some point in the past (definitely before upgrading to VisualGDB 5.6R4 and possibly before upgrading to VS 2022).

    I fixed the problem. Turns out that the necessary toolchain and board-specific packages were not re-installed after the upgrade. After installing these the project loads fine. As a suggestion, it would be nice if an error message was given when these components are missing instead of just getting stuck forever while loading the project.

    Hi,

    Normally, VisualGDB checks for missing packages when loading the project, and displays a window suggesting automatically installing the missing ones. Most likely, something else in your setup interfered with this mechanism.

    If you could confirm that a specific sequence of actions that can be reproduced from scratch, triggers the issue, we can gladly investigate it further (e.g. Create a project using the ARM toolchain -> Remove the toolchain via VisualGDB Package Manager -> Restart VS -> Open the project).
