NullReferenceException when trying to add some COM references

[eugbaranov]

When I try adding 'Microsoft Windows Installer Object Library' as a COM reference to my F# project it fails with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object":

Well, when I try doing that for a C# project if fails too, although with a different error:

However for a C# I can "Browse..." to a DLL directly by "C:\Windows\System32\msi.dll" and this adds COM reference just fine, but for F# this approach still fails with the same NullReferenceException.

i can repro

the line is ComReferenceNode.cs#L370

the lcid used ( 0 ) to find the key target an invalid regedit key

invalid with lcid 0
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{000C1092-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\1.0\0\win32

valid on my machine (ldic 409) and valid C:\Windows\system32\msi.dll path
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{000C1092-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\1.0\409\win32
