I have noticed the following behavior of Visual Studio 2012: I create VS2012 Package Project (from SDK). When I compile and run it, an experimental VS instance is launched, so I can test implemented package. But If I uninstall package from experimental VS instance (using Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Uninstall
), then I try recompile and rerun package, I get compilation error without any errors shown in Output and Error List. Thus, it is impossible to launch my package under development again. This issue can be reproduce with every newly created VS2012 Package Projects.
In summary, I am not able to run my Package in experimental VS Instance, because I previously uninstalled it. It appears to be a packages metadata caching problem. How can I solve this issue?
Edit:
Steps to reproduce this problem:
Tools -> Extensions and Updates
, and uninstall just created extension.At this moment it is impossible to run VS Experimental instance with this Package Project again.
The "nuke from orbit" option is always to completely delete the folders:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0Exp
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0Exp
