I am having an issue where I cannot add a custom Python environment, because the "+ Custom..." button is greyed out. I had installed CPython 3.6, but that version was not listed in the dropdown list of the "+ Custom..." expando's version field when I attempted to set PTVS up to use it. I then quit Visual Studio 2015 Community, uninstalled CPython 3.6, and installed CPython 3.5. Ever since this happened I have been unable to fix the setup.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Intellisense is not working and I really need it.

Fixing the registry key mentioned in #1994 should resolve the issue, but it's sounding like we'll need to release another update for 2.2 to prevent this crash.
