Opening project/solution breaks RTVS menus/keyboard shortcuts

[hongooi73]

After upgrading to VS 15.7.4 (released last week), opening an R project or solution will break all the RTVS menu items. Keyboard shortcuts for switching to R windows (REPL, packages, workspaces, help, etc) will also fail.

Using any of this brings up the following error dialog:

Installed internal build of 15.7.4, appears to work OK. Can you check if assembly is present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio[NAME]\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\R Tools for Visual Studio ? RTVS installs .ver 1:1:0:0. Perhaps uninstall/reinstall RTVS?

[hongooi73]

Found it, but it's a later version (!):

[MikhailArkhipov]

This is 1.1. My suspicion is that some old assembly that referenced 1.0 got stuck.

[hongooi73]

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling just RTVS and it didn't work.

Wiping all my VS installs and reinstalling didn't work either. Now I have to redo my window layouts....

I went back to the stable version of VS (15.6), which didn't have this bug. Today it was updated to 15.7, and the problem is still there. Any chance that this can get fixed soon? It's very annoying.

I downloaded the 1.0.1 version via nuget, compiled it, and added it to the global assembly cache with gacutil. Now I get the following error:

Can you remove 1.0.1 from GAC, enable fusion log and start VS so we can figure out what calls for 1.0.1? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/255669/how-to-enable-assembly-bind-failure-logging-fusion-in-net

Logs sent, along with the dll itself. While I don't know anything about Fusion, I did see the following in /NativeImage/Microsoft.R.Host.Broker.Windows.exe/Microsoft.Extensions.FileSystemGlobbing:

So it seems to be looking for version 1.1 and complaining that it's not there. But the dll is definitely version 1.1, and there's no traces of this assembly in GAC.

Just letting all know we found the problem and we will try and get the fix into the nearest VS update.

[MikhailArkhipov]

Closing, expected in 15.7.3 and 15.8.3

15.7.3 is live
