XML error

[MystikReasons]

I tried to find an replace an object but I selected the entire solution instead of a single file.

To undo those replacements I closed Visual Studio without saving.

Everytime I open the project now I get an XML error:

Im using VisualGDB version 5.4 build 2737 and Visual Studio 2017 15.9.6

If I try to build the project I get every time the same error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysprogs\VisualGDB\MSBuild\Targets\external.targets(6,3): error : There is an error in XML document (99, 117).

And if I try to open the VisualGDB project properties I get an empty page with just the debug/release configuration combobox but nothing else

Hi,

Most likely you have corrupted some XML files during the find-and-replace. Please try restoring your project from a backup and also reinstalling VisualGDB to fix any corrupt global files.
