I noticed the following behavior in Visual Studio 2012: I am creating a VS2012 package project (from the SDK). When I compile and run it, the experimental VS instance is launched, so I can test the implemented package. But if I remove the package from the experimental VS instance (using Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Uninstall), then I try to recompile and re-run the package, I get a compilation error without any errors displayed in the Output and Error List. Thus, it is not possible to run my package again. This issue can be reproduced with all new VS2012 project projects.
In general, I cannot run my package on an experimental instance of VS because I deleted it earlier. This seems to be the problem of caching packet metadata. How can I solve this problem?
Edit:
Steps to reproduce this issue:
- Create a new Visual Studio 2012 package project (you must install the VS2012 SDK).
- Compile and run the project. VS experimental instance must be running.
- In the experimental VS instance, go to
Tools -> Extensions and Updatesand remove the extension you just created. - Close the experimental VS instance.
- Try compiling and starting the package project again. There should be compilation or launch errors, but there is no information in the output of a list of errors.
At this point, it is not possible to start the experimental VS instance again with this package project.
