MSTest.exe (VS2012) crashes QTAgent32.exe

Question

i am trying to execute our tests via cmdline. I use VS2012, but i always get this error:

When i run the tests directly in VS2010 on the same machine they run fine. I can't use VS2010 for cmdline because we have the wrong license ( assembly finding doesn't work ) so i have to use 2012. All Windows updates are present.

Has somebody had similar issues with MSTest/VS2012 ?

Answer 1

If you want to keep VS 2012 update 2, 3, or 4 installed, you can try the below workaround:

Run the below commands in the command line:

DEL /S %windir%\*Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Tips.UnitTest.AssemblyResolver.ni.dll* 
DEL /S %windir%\*Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.ExecutionCommon.ni.dll* 

This is a workaround provided by Microsoft guys.

You need run this batch again after you install Visual Studio updates or sometime even Windows Updates.
