Why hasn't this been released as a hotfix already ? It's been a week since I can't start VS2022 anymore because of this, it should have been an urgent thing to fix since most people will update their VS install when the autoupdater finds a new version... and you can't go backwards without messing up your install/losing settings.
This seems to be a SINGLE LINE CHANGE and I would have applied the chinese BBS's fix already if I COULD ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD IT (requires account that needs you to be Chinese to register)

From a support point of view that would have been rather helpful, but we were mostly ready to release the next build, with new features, so I assume this is why we went with this approach.

The number of support enquiries about this, while quite a number, is also quite a lot fewer than I would have expected, which suggests that not everyone is rushing to install the latest VS2022 update as soon as it became available.

Either way, I have emailed you about this rajkosto.

i generally do it after a few days of it nagging me to do it, at worst what happens is that i need to recompile my project, they've never broken plugin ABI before, so this is mostly Microsoft's fault

It's not the same, but I do remember problems moving from the pre-release version to the release version of one of the recent versions of Visual Studio.

You might underestimate the number of people like me (until now) that read here that the problem is being taken care of, don't see a point in also writing that they have the same problem and impatiently wait for a fix. It took several working hours to find the problem, reinstalling different visual studio versions included. It really is urgent.

Seeing the same problem with that dialog box for some time now.
Currently at Visual Studio 2022 17.7.2 with Visual Assist 10.9.2491.0.
When I click "No" ("Do you want to continue seeing these error messages?" or similar) I can continue and things seem to work.
Glad I'm not seeing a locked up Visual Studio as others seem to report here.
As mael15 said: I am (was) also one of the persons silently waiting for a fix :-)

I'll throw my hat in, too. I've been following this thread and while I can click "no" and continue to work, I am patiently waiting for the fix. :)

We are hoping to have the fix out in the next couple of days. Personally I am very eager for this to happen, since we should not be having a problem like this.

I have emailed all of you, just so you don't have to keep waiting.

I was also having the problem with the VaMenuPackage not loading. At the same time I was getting annoyed at the way VS2022 (V17.7.2) was opening menus to the left. I came across this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70485035/is-it-possible-configure-visual-studio-menu-alignment which (after a windows restart) fixed the menu opening, but also the VaMenuPackage error is now gone and the VAssist menus are appearing correctly and working properly. ???????

sjl42, I have double checked, and no sign of any change to menu alignment here, and I have checked a couple of different systems. Also the registry key listed in that article is already set to 0 for me.

As the article mentions, my vague memory of running into the menus opening with the wrong alignment is that it is related to a left hand / right hand user setting for the mouse. But I don't see how or why this would have any effect on the IDE starting up. Either way I have sent you the link to the internal build.

Just turned my PC on after 3 weeks vacation and returned to this issue on my PC too. Kind of annoying but ok, lets hope this gets fixed asap.

I agree this has been a very serious problem, and all I can do is apologise that it has taken so long to get a new official release out with the bug fix.
