I get an error message:
Could not find entry point named '?' in the dll 'pkgdefmgmt.dll'
when installing the Visual Studio extension (vsix) for VS 2017.
This extension was developed in VS2015, so I decided to upgrade, recompile and reinstall it, but I get the same error.
This is a new laptop with Windows 10 and VS 2017.
Any ideas for a fix?
Here is the complete installation log:
