VSAchievements + WiX throws AV exception in VS2012.2 #3961

Open wixbot opened 11 years ago

wixbot commented 11 years ago

Having both the Visual Studio Achievements extension from Channel9 / Coding for Fun and the WiX 3.7 installed for VS2012 w/ VSUpdate 2 (might repro on RTM+) throws an AV exception.

Someone on the Project System said this may be related to a change to the threading model and a cast in MPF is happening on the background and may explain why some extensions that call into the project hierarchy cause a crash. The recommendation is to update to the newer MPF on CodePlex for VS2012.

This may be the same case for bug http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/3088/ since I assume the .NET Reflector extension would call into the project hierarchy.

I am also seeing Vs Achievements causing a wix project build to crash VS 2012. I disabled Vs Achievements and all is good. FYI I am running v. 4.0.424.0

From the Project System developer, each version of VS has a specific MPF that is supposed to be compatible with all the changes. After further investigation, the threading model change is the most likely culprit and updated to MPF '12 should resolve the crash with other extensions that process the project hierarchy nodes.
