Image shows the folder and the folder path in the popup
I just got a new MacBook and have installed the MacOS version of Visual Studio: Visual Studio Community 2017 for Mac. I previously had a solution in the Windows version that worked fine. I am working from a USB stick due to this being a project for school. When I try to open the solution on my MacBook there is an error, where it can't find a Volumes folder, that it thinks the USB directory should be in, and this does not make sense to me. Here is the error message that I am receiving:
Error while trying to load the project '/Volumes/OWENRACCANI/Visual Studio 2015/WebSites/WebSite4': File not found: /Volumes/OWENRACCANI/Visual Studio 2015/WebSites/WebSite4
Where OWENRACCANI is the name of my USB stick, and Website4 is the name of my project. I can't find any folder named Volumes on my laptop or on the USB and I have no clue what is happening.
Any solutions are helpful and will be tried.
Thank you.

I'm attempting to install DotVVM in Visual Studio 2019. Right now I can find it when I 'manage extensions' and it downloads and installs without error. However when I restart Visual Studio post installation I get an error stating 'The DotVVM package did not load correctly' and points me to an xml output file. The contents of said file shows:
SetSite failed for package [DotvvmPackage]
Source: System.ComponentModel.Composition
Description: The composition produced multiple composition errors, with 3 root causes. The root causes are provided below. Review the CompositionException.Errors property for more detailed information

Pretty much the same error except it's talking about 'DotVVM.Integration.VisualStudio.Common.Licensing.ILoginProvider'
No exports were found that match the constraint:*
Same error except it's talking about 'DotVVM.Integration.VisualStudio.Services.CommandService'
Now I have been trying to find other topics and came across many that said to delete (or rename) the '%appData%'/Local/Microsoft/VisualStudio/16.0/ComponentModelCache' folder which I've tried with no luck. Removed it out of every VisualStudio version folders as well. Restarted Visual Studio of course after. That folder did rebuild itself but I got the same error again.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it as well. Tired with running Visual Studio as an admin for kicks. Even downloaded the DotVVM.Integration.VisualStudio.2019.RTM.vsix file directly (both 4.0.534 and 4.0.539) and installing it that way with no luck.
I also tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio 2019 all together with no luck. I made sure the entire VisualStudio/16.0 folder was also gone between installs.
I have been able to install other extensions alright just to see.
It seems like I'm missing something or some files when it's trying to install, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas?
Turns out my version of Visual Studio was the issue. My cooperate environment locks me to 16.10.2 which is not the latest version. Visual Studio updates claims I'm up to date but I am not.
The version of DotVVM (4.0.539) doesn't support version 16.10.2 of visual studio, hence the error. I did find an older version of DotVVM (2.5.254) that does support that version of visual studio and that worked fine.
I got the exact same problem posted here:
Attempting to Install an extension to VS2019 results in a NullReferenceException
Same error, same log.
But since I cannot comment nor answer and the question has not been answered as of yet, I'm asking again.
I am using VS2019 Community, but I had VS2017 Enterprise at one point. (student license)
Every single extension I tried to install so far has led to this error. For example "Live Share", "Open Command Line", "Github Extension for Visual Studio", "Markdown Editor".
I believe it started with Live Share when suddenly an update wouldn't install for no reason. I guess that was back with VS2017 even. But I cannot recall, I just assume. With the newly installed VS2019 I was never able to install any extension via the in-app Extension feature, nor by downloading with browser and then trying to open it.
What I've tried:
0) Every suggestion by Perry Qian-MSFT
1) Repairing Visual Studio 2019
2) Reinstalling Visual Studio 2019
3) Uninstalling "Live Share"
4) Deleting various Folders or contents thereof:
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017 (trying to get rid of any remnants)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions
Next I'll deinstall as much as possible: VS2019 and Installer and try to see what's left, what could have remained that causes such pain in the a***.
But since my internet will be busy with reinstalling afterwards for a while this question goes up now.
Update1: The installer made some problems getting uninstalled. Deinstallation via Windows Software Management failed with an error but it was still removed from the list. Now I've deleted the folder and will try and reinstall the installer. I don't know why I didn't try that before throwing it all over board.
Update2: I decided to start with a simple barebones VS2019 version without any workloads. But it still doesn't work. So back to throwing everything out and looking for the remainder.
Update3: I now tried to delete various folders then reboot and tried to reinstall a barebone VS 2019 Community again. Still same error.
Here's a list:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Unity
C:\Program Files (x86)\NuGet
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild (except for .\Microsoft\Windows Workflow Foundation)
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio Services
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Visual Studio Setup
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\vs_installershell
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\vs-report-problem
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2013
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2017
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2019
Oddly enough my personal settings are still persistent. So these will be my next target. But where are they stored? Any pointers?
Update4: Seems like settings are stored in a cloud, hm. I made a local backup and tried to reset them resulting in yet another error.
Your settings were reset, but there were some errors.
Error 1: An error occurred while importing settings for 'Product Updates' [code 5396].
Was this 'Product Updates' Setting the culprit?
Update5: The settings reset didn't seem to accomplish anything at all.
Update6: So, I've signed out of VS, reinstalled VS2019 again and this time it seems like settings were actually reset. Still no luck. This is getting really frustrating.
That's it. I'm done. Apart from reinstalling Windows 10 I have no clue what could help now. Maybe there was some registry error? I am lost here.
Thanks to #dxiv who made me aware of the InstallCleanup.exe.
I don't know what that tool does additionally to what I did and I cannot tell what was wrong in the first place. But that thing actually helped!
Thanks again!
I've followed these steps exactly and am getting the error below:
Select File > New > Project...
In the new project window, search for IoT Edge and choose the Azure IoT Edge (Windows amd64) project. Click Next.
In the configure your new project window, rename the project and solution to something descriptive like CSharpTutorialApp. Click Create to create the project.
In the Add Module window, configure your project with the following values:
Select Add to create the module.
I get this error regardless of the combination of solution folders, module names, and any other parameters that I enter during this workflow:
The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
The net result is that no changes are made to the solution -- no IoT Edge module project is created, no other files are altered.
I've tried running Visual Studio 2019 (16.4.3) as administrator, uninstalling and reinstalling the Azure IoT Edge Tools extension, all without success.
What can I do to troubleshoot this further?
Update 1: I've double-checked all documented prerequisites and still have this issue.
Visual Studio 2019 16.4.3, all prerequisite Visual Studio workloads installed
.NET Core workload installed the latest -- 3.1 LTS SDK -- only. Is there a hidden dependency on a specific older .NET Core 2.x SDK somewhere? Or is the documentation for VS Code on the subject out of date? (I'm using VS but was looking everywhere to see if I had missed anything)
Git for Windows installed (via Visual Studio Installer)
Docker Windows Desktop installed & switched to Windows containers
Azure IoT Edge Tools for VS 2019 installed (and uninstalled & reinstalled)
no UNC/FQ paths in the item or project template locations:
C:\Users\larsk\OneDrive\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates
C:\Users\larsk\OneDrive\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ItemTemplates
multiple reboots
this is on a machine that just recently got the latest (1909) version of Win10 Pro reinstalled on it.
Update 2: Updating to Visual Studio 2019 16.4.4 did not help either.
The solution turned out to be running a Repair operation through the Visual Studio Installer.
Visual Studio Error Message Screenshot
I'm using Visual Studio for Mac. All the investigation I've done so far says that it comes with everything necessary to work with Azure. However, every time I try to open a solution that contains a project with the extension ".deployproj" I keep getting an error message saying:
Error while trying to load the project '/Users/marco/Documents/sync1.nosync/Sync1.LOS/src/Sync1.LOS.Azure/Sync1.LOS.Azure.deployproj': Unknown solution item type
From what I can read about Azure projects, Visual Studio needs the Azure Development tools and it is included in the installer, but this is for Windows. Visual Studio for Mac installer includes .Net Core, packages for Android, Xamarion, iOS among others. What I've read is that it includes the necessary tools for Azure, but I still have this issue.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
I installed Android Studio on the same PC as Xamarin. I wanted to use the same adb as Visual Studio in Android Studio.
(android-sdk path is an option on the initial install screen, but I had to use mklink to get around the fact that VS installs Android sdk at Program Files (x86) - Android Studio doesn't like non alphanumeric characters.
When I returned to Xamarin I could no longer compile, this seemed to be the main error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(1183,2): error MSB6006: "aapt.exe" exited with code -1073741819.
Luckily I kept a backup of this folder first, and reverting it did help
c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
Others might need to reinstall Xamarin after deleting / renaming android-sdk folder.
In addition to reverting this file I also had to clear the contents of
MyProject\MyProject.Droid\Resources\Resource.Designer.cs
This file isn't visible in VS, but you can get to it if there are errors to click on.
Don't forget to clean before build.
