Dynamic 365 Visual Studio 2015 Extension Error Reporting Recording

After installing the Dynamics CRM Reporting Extension here , both Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server Data Tools 2015 launch, sometimes just after the splash screen, but usually after the user interface loads.

If I uninstall the extension and run the command devenv.exe /resetsettings

, I can get Visual Studio to stop crashing, but obviously cannot develop my reports.

I have already reinstalled VS and rebooted. How do I get past this?

EDIT:

I recreated the problem on a different machine. Here's the steps to reproduce, be careful though, as even reinstallations don't fix this:

  • Install VS 2015
  • Install SSDT 2015
  • Attempting to install 2015 reporting extension. Installation should fail.
  • Trying to install 2016 Report Publishing Extension. The installation should fail.
  • To fix the registry, follow the steps here .
  • Reinstall the 2016 Report Authoring Extension

Visual Studio should now crash on startup

EDIT 2:

After reinstalling Windows, I ran into the same problem. Visual Studio 2015 Professional. This time, the only thing I did was install the 2016 Report Authoring Extension and Visual Studio crashes on startup. I removed the extension, but the problem still happens.

Make sure you have closed visual studio before following this step.

Try deleting the ComponentModelCache folder in C: \ Users [username] \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 11.0 \ ComponentModelCache



Then open Visual Studio

This step works for me.

I also had this problem and several repairs did not help. I ended up having to uninstall the CRM, SSDT and Visual Studio reporting extension. Then I did a clean install of Visual Studio 2015. After that I updated all extensions, including SSDT (you should see all available updates in the notification icon at the top of the screen). After everything was updated, I was able to reinstall the Dynamics CRM reporting extension and everything worked so far.

Try deleting the ComponentModelCache folder with:

C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache

and restart Visual Studio.

AND / OR

Open Windows Registry:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\0EF1E6B4EFCDA2649B26A424D56DAACD

If you have two paths, remove both. Then reinstall the Dynamics CRM authoring extension and go to step 1.

I had to reinstall the Microsoft Online Services Login Assistant ( link ). After uninstalling / reinstalling (repairing on it was unfortunate for me). It installed successfully.

It still didn't work after that, so I tried Brian Oab's suggestion to remove the ComponentModelCache component and I'm back in business.
