I also tried reinstalling the plugin just in case i was doing the dumb, im still getting the error

[maikebing]

GitLab.VisualStudio.zip
Try this ？

[KySoto]

I ran your new package, and i got the same error

[maikebing]

Can you help with the debugging?

[KySoto]

If you tell me how i can, sure, at my work our primary git solution is git lab, so i really really need this working.

So after looking at the SO question, i dont have the devenv executable.

[KySoto]

i feel dumb, i was looking in the wrong visual studio folder, i was in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
That said, i have a huge number of build issues.

[maikebing]

vs2019 need .net 4.7.2 ， os , you can unload or remove GitLab.TeamFoundation.16 , try again !

I have the same error with KySoto after installing 1.0.200 to visual studio 2015 Professional
When I unintall 1.0.200 and then reinstall 1.0.189 package, it works well.

Could anyone share the 1.0.189 package download link?
Many thanks.

same issue than KySoto on vs2017 after updating

[jeffoulet]

Hi, same issue here as well, plugin won't load with vs2017

临时应急办法：

1. 在“工具 > 扩展和更新”里，更改扩展和更新设置，关闭掉“自动检查更新”，避免恢复后又出问题
2. 安装好最新的 1.0.200 版本，此时无法启动，会报错
3. 关掉vs，进入目录C:\Users\用户名\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_359f03b1\Extensions\ax0kcljw.jse，最后一层目录是个随机字符串，很容易找到，里面有 GitLab.VisualStudio.dll 这些文件，把整个目录压缩备份一个，然后删掉里面的文件
4. 找一个还没升级的开发环境下这个目录下的文件，1.0.189版本的，把下面所有文件复制进来

这样就可以正常启动插件了。。。。

its up to version 1.0.276 , this version works perfectly. (Note: this is the link on the the readme.md for Open Visx gallery)
