Error in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 when opening solution (Typescript)

Question

I updated to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 this morning and in my main web solution I now get the following warning when I open it. I also get this warning when I open typescript files and I can no longer comment and uncomment code through the shortcut or toolbar. I also no longer have IntelliSense etc...

In the xml file it says the following:

What I have tried:

• Repairing Update 3
• Reinstalling TypeScript and removing older versions I had installed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48593
• devenv.exe /updateconfiguration & devenv.exe /clearcache
• Deleting %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
• Updating project typescript version to 1.8
• Setting path environment variable of typescript to 1.8 instead of 1.0

So now my Visual Studio tells me I have TypeScript version 1.8.30 installed. But in my Programs and Features I only have verison 1.8.6.0 installed (which is the latest).

Only thing that is left to do is reinstall Visual Studio itself.

Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

I solved this by:

• uninstalling Visual Studio with Visual Studio Uninstaller created by microsoft.
• removed any leftover typescript installs (In Add/Remove software)
• removed the TypeScript SDK's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript
• running CCleaner (Cleaner and Registry)

Hope this helps somebody!
