How to fix "Internal Diagnostics Hub Exception" in VS 2015 Update 1?

Question

I've just updated to Visual Studio 2015 Update 1, and I'm getting the error whenever I start debugging:

Internal Diagnostics Hub Exception. See log for more details.

How do I fix this, or disable the error?

I don't know which log file I should check. In ActivityLog.xml, the last entry is of yesterday, so that doesn't contain anything useful. Next, I know there is a logfile of MEF (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.err), but that's empty. How to investigate this?

Answer 1

I dug into the the Visual Studio logs to understand what was happening (C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ActivityLog.xml). In mine, the messages were something like this:

And then, I realized that TypeScript support should be broken.

Just installing TypeScript for Visual Studio 2015, closing Visual Studio and then opening your project again will solve your problem. The message will disappear.
