Bug: VS cannot load CM

[casiosmu]

Environment

• Visual Studio version: 2012 Professional
• CodeMaid version: 10.4.53
• Code language: C#

Steps to recreate

1. Installed VS2012 in a freshly setup Win7 ( a) including and also b) not including all Updates) (I think it doesnt matter, but Win7 is inside a VirtualMachine)
2. let VS initialize environment to C#
3. install CM via Tools->Extensions --> no error
4. restart VS:
   Error-Popup: Cannot load CodeMaid package properly. The problem was maybe caused by a configuration change or installation of another extension. Also check %appdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml (<--my own translation from german)
5. as I write this VS offered "VisualStudio Update 5". But: the error still there after installation

Same message also appears when I click Menu->CodeMaid->anyItem

In the ActivityLog.xml I only can find 3 entries regarding CM (for each shown error):

1. beginPackageLoad
2. CreateInstance failed; 80121604; "A call target has caused an exception" (<--my own translation from german)
3. End package load; 80004005 - E_FAIL

This happens in 2 different Win7 instances, both with the same VS2012.
There are only 3 pre-installed extensions, none I installed myself:

• Microsoft Web Developer Tools 1.0.30710.0
• NuGet Package Manager 2.0.30625.9003
• VS Ext. for Windows Library for JavaScript 1.0.85140.

I tried uninstalling NuGet (the only extension I could uninstall), but the error persists.

Thanks for reporting the issue. Take a look at #437 or #489 .. maybe it's related to your .NET Framework version installed?

[casiosmu]

Ok, the current .NET version is 4.5.51209.
After update to 4.6.1 the problem didnt occur again, also after update to 4.7. Thank you.

Btw: it would be nice, if you could add a "Required" section to your Readme.md which lists things like that.

Great idea, I'll actually reopen this idea as a reminder to do that with the next release. I'll also double check the dependencies.. looks like it still may say v4.5 in the manifest which would be mistaken.

This was fixed in the manifest and will be present in the next release.
