Cannot Uninstall in order to update #806
Comments
@tebeco The 2017 vsix installer has/had some issues, and in some cases ends up corrupting the extension catalog, causing these problems, unfortunately 😢 To manually remove the extension and reset the catalog so it's happy, the best thing to do is probably the following:
All copies of the extension should be cleared after this, and you should be able to install the newest version without further problems. |
@tebeco I mistyped the path to the visual studio installation in my initial comment, sorry! The correct path is |
i've cut/past the folder of GHfVS in a personnal folder
I've tried to re run Still getting :
|
I've opened VS2017, I don't have anymore GHfVS
|
FYI : |
@tebeco So VS 2017 runs without errors, and the extension is not listed in @AArnott Any clues as to what this error means? |
Could you try running the following from the command line:
This should attempt to uninstall it by ID. I'd be interested to see what the log says. |

(FYI, i'll be back in 12h for testing new idea here) |
@tebeco The only thing I can think of is that 2017 is not playing nice with the installation of 2015 you have in the same machine, most likely due to the VS installer bugs in the previous versions of the RC. Try uninstalling all versions from 2015 before installing the extension again, see if that fixes it. |
I wonder why I didn't try that ;) |
I haven't read all of this thread, but it could be that an older version of the github extension corrupted your VS installer's manifest of what you have installed. The only known workaround we have for that is to uninstall, then reinstall VS 2017. I'm not sure if you already tried that though. |
Github Extension was allready uninstalled from VS2015 At the same time, it seems that VS2017 just detected an update so i'll keep you posted here |
Xan i fork you for Futuretecnologies? |
@tebeco Awesome, thanks for the update and for the patience, good to know that there's a way out without reinstalling VS completely 😄 |
good news ... just re updated VS2017 + GHfVS 2.2.0.6, just worked perfectly |
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 RC
Version 15.0.26020.0 D15REL
