ClangFormat Extension is not installed correctly on Visual Studio 2015

Question

We wanted to install the Visual Studio extension for LLVM/clang-format in Visual Studio 2015. On my computer the installation works. The extension shows up in the options dialog tools/options/LLVM/Clang.

On the computers of my colleagues this does not work at all. We tried to install the extension from Marketplace and also the most recent version from http://llvm.org/builds/.

Does anybody experience the same issue? Is there a known solution to this?

Update: Issue occurs on Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 Professional

Answer 1

It seems that a repair installation helps. So the approach is:

1. Install the extension from Market Place
2. Repair "Microsoft Visual Studio installation with the installer.

Then it works.
