Hi,

Thank you very much! Renaming the registry entries solved my problem.

Are your developers interested in the buggy contents of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0 and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config
that caused the problem?

Indeed, this seems to be the problem.

After installing VisualKernel as new user, it worked.
However, I could not fix the problem for the standard user which I would prefer to use. Deleting these folders did not help:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\VisualKernel

Concerning the per-user registry entries of VisualStudio: I don’t know where they are. Can you give me a hint?

Thank you so far!

Hi,

VisualGDB was currently not installed. It had been before I uninstalled and re-installed VS2015 and VisualKernel.
So today I tried installing VisualGDB 5.2r8 too.
The behaviour was the same – both  appear in Tools->Extensions and Updates, but not in the Help menu or project templates.
After uninstalling VisualGDB again the situation was as before.

The VisualKernel Version is: 2.1r2
I had 2 versions of VisualGDB in use. The first one a few months ago was: 5.1r6.
I tried updating to 5.2r8. But I got errors when starting VS2015. So I had to return to 5.1r6 again.

Hi,

VisualKernel does appear in Tools->Extensions and Updates, but not in the Help menu.

Hi and thanks so far!

I checked the file extension.vsixmanifest, it seems ok.
The log entries do not show any problem. They state  “Successfully loaded extension…”  and “Extension is enabled…”

But still there is no VisualKernel support in VS2015.

Another hint about my activity history:
I had installed VS2017. This caused several problems in VS2015. As a result I had to uninstall both VS2017 and VS2015.

So I still hope very much that someone can help me.

Hi,

I am using VisualKernel version 2.1r2
I hope for any other hints – like deleting some entry or file in VS 2015 so I can start with a clean system again.

Thanks!

After uninstalling VisualGDB 5.1 (or installing version 5.2) the relevant error entry in ActivityLog.xml seems to be this:

CreateInstance failed for package [VisualGDB.VSPackage.VisualGDBPackage, VisualGDB, Version=5.1.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]Source: ‘mscorlib’ Description: Die Datei oder Assembly “file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysprogs\VisualGDB\VisualGDB.exe” oder eine Abhängigkeit davon wurde nicht gefunden.

My problem is that I can continue working after reinstalling version 5.1 again, but not with 5.2.

Please note that I have installed VisualKernel too.

Thanks so far!
