Hello,
yesterday, after installing the current Visual Studio 2022 Update v17.12.x (from v17.11.x), the WEBCON BPS SDK Tools no longer started when trying to open them via 'View -> Other Windows -> WEBCON BPS SDK Tools'.
I've got an error message (I don't have a screenshot from this message) with a reference to the ActivityLog.xml file within the VS main program folder.
On the ActivityLog.xml file I've found a System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException, followed by a System.IO.FileLoadException and a HRESULT exception number.
The issue occured with all version of WEBCON BPS SDK Tools available via Visual Studio Extension Manager (2022 to 2025).
Long story short, nothing helped, not even repair installation of VS via VS Installer. Only when I downgraded to v17.11, the Tools worked again.
Hope someone can confirm this as bug of 17.12 or helps another one to solve this issue.
Greetings
Marco
