@tebeco The 2017 vsix installer has/had some issues, and in some cases ends up corrupting the extension catalog, causing these problems, unfortunately 😢
To manually remove the extension and reset the catalog so it's happy, the best thing to do is probably the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\and do a search forGitHub.VisualStudio.dll. All the directories that contain a file with that name are installations of GHfVS (as VS never actually removes them, but just disables them...).Run as administrator)devenv /setupon that command line to refresh the VS catalog. This will take some time, wait it out.All copies of the extension should be cleared after this, and you should be able to install the newest version without further problems.

@tebeco I mistyped the path to the visual studio installation in my initial comment, sorry! The correct path is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions, I've updated the instructions to matchtebeco commentedon Jan 27, 2017
i've cut/past the folder of GHfVS in a personnal folder
devenv.exe /setuptook few minutes, did not open or print anything ?I guess it's fine
I've tried to re run
GitHub.VisualStudio.vsixStill getting :
tebeco commentedon Jan 27, 2017
I've opened VS2017, I don't have anymore GHfVS
And I cannot install it anymore, it download it, and after I close VS, it tells me it can install on VS2017 and then while installing it crash on :

@tebeco So VS 2017 runs without errors, and the extension is not listed in
Extensions and Updates/Installed, correct? Can you try downloading the extension from https://ghfvs-installer.github.com/releases/2.2.0.5/GitHub.VisualStudio.vsix, and double clicking on that to install it instead of installing it through the gallery?@AArnott Any clues as to what this error means?
jcansdale commentedon Jan 27, 2017
@tebeco,
Could you try running the following from the command line:
This should attempt to uninstall it by ID. I'd be interested to see what the log says.

@shana

yes
Can you try downloading the extension from https://ghfvs-installer.github.com/releases/2.2.0.5/GitHub.VisualStudio.vsix, and double clicking on that to install it instead of installing it through the gallery?
ERROR :
This extension is already installed to all applicable products.@jcansdale
The GUID is not the good one if i'm not wrong
also the manifest limits to [14.0) instead of [14.0, 15.0) or so ?
tebeco commentedon Jan 27, 2017
installing from Visual Studio give my this :
tebeco commentedon Jan 27, 2017
then i went AGAIN inside :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions<== is this the right folder ?Still no match for "GitHub.VisualStudio.dll"
Vs2017 does not detect installed or update anything about the extension (only online research)
And then Typing thing :
vsixinstaller /q /u:"c3d3dc68-c977-411f-b3e8-03b0dccf7dfc" /l:GH4VS.logit output different log depending on different tries ...
my last try gave :
(FYI, i'll be back in 12h for testing new idea here)
shana commentedon Jan 27, 2017
@tebeco The only thing I can think of is that 2017 is not playing nice with the installation of 2015 you have in the same machine, most likely due to the VS installer bugs in the previous versions of the RC. Try uninstalling all versions from 2015 before installing the extension again, see if that fixes it.
tebeco commentedon Jan 27, 2017
I wonder why I didn't try that ;)
I'll ping you here once I've tried (i hope tonight)
AArnott commentedon Jan 27, 2017
I haven't read all of this thread, but it could be that an older version of the github extension corrupted your VS installer's manifest of what you have installed. The only known workaround we have for that is to uninstall, then reinstall VS 2017. I'm not sure if you already tried that though.
tebeco commentedon Jan 28, 2017
Github Extension was allready uninstalled from VS2015
So I took the same step as the one for VS2017
Went to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\ExtensionsAnd found 10 matching folder that contained
GitHub.VisualStudio.dllSo i've move them somewhere else
At the same time, it seems that VS2017 just detected an update so i'll keep you posted here
tebeco commentedon Jan 28, 2017
@AArnott, no need to uninstall & reinstall VS2017
@shana thx it seems that it worked
The VSIX detected both VS2015 & VS2017 this time
The only thing that did not work is VS2017 update ;)
especial Azure stuff
Anyway thank :)

Xan i fork you for Futuretecnologies?
shana commentedon Jan 30, 2017
@tebeco Awesome, thanks for the update and for the patience, good to know that there's a way out without reinstalling VS completely 😄
tebeco commentedon Jan 30, 2017
good news ... just re updated VS2017 + GHfVS 2.2.0.6, just worked perfectly
