VSColorOutput throws unhandled exception on build #81

Closed chrisaverage closed 5 years ago

chrisaverage commented 5 years ago

I'm using VS2017 15.9.3 and VSColorOutput 2.6.1. Since one of the recent VS updates VSColorOutput throws an exception when building projects. It's not on every build and I haven't found reliable repro steps. The output seems to be colored fine though and I can close the exception prompt and continue working so not a show stopper but very annoying.

Here's the trace from the ActivityLog.xml VS produces:
