Win 7 - No visualizer magnifying glass and no visualizer assemblies created #41

Closed abukres closed 6 years ago

I am using Visual Studio 2017 15.7 and 1.4.5 of the extension. When I select "Bridge Solution', I don't get the confirmation message like the video is showing. No magnifying glass is showing and the visualizer assemblies don't get created after I rebuild the solution.

hey thanks for reporting the issue. I haven't tried the extension with Visual Studio 2017 15.7, however from what you reported is very difficult to understand what went wrong.

Please could you answer the following questions?

Which OS are you using?
Which type of projects are you trying to use the extension on ? VB/C#/F#/ASP.NET/.NET CORE etc
Was a previous version of LINQBridgeVs already installed?
Has the LINQBridgeVS SETUP run the first time after you installed the extension? (refer to the image below)
Could you please attach here the ActivityLog.xml of Visual Studio 2017? You can find it here: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0 (where 15.0 might be in the form of _15.0c9a42992 or something similar). This log tells a lot if anything went wrong initializing the extension.

Thanks

Yes I had an earlier version of it and I uninstalled it. I went through an install and reinstall it today. The ActivityLog.xml doesn't have any entries from today and there's no reference to LinqBridge. The setup didn't show up. I run VS in admin mode. The solution has ASP.NET and C# projects. I am using Windows 7. I have another machine where it runs fine. The other machine runs Windows 10. Same VS version 15.7. So the only difference I see is the Windows version.

ok I think Windows 7 is not working with MahApps and the presentation framework. What it's puzzling me though is why it silently fails. I will spin up a virtual machine with Windows 7 to see what the issue is. One thing you can do on your end is to grab the sources and build the vsix using debug.

fixed in the next release
