It seems like this is an issue with your VS installation. Please try the steps described on this site:

• Launch “Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017” as Administrator
• Go to VS 2017 installation folder, for example: pushd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise
• gacutil -if Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll

if this does not work, maybe try the steps described on this site.

A coworker and I are both having the same issue. The solutions above did not fix it. It is happening to me in VS 15.4.0 and 15.4.1. ActivityLog info is the same as previously reported. I did have Visual Studio 2015 installed as well (where License Header Manager was working fine). In my attempts to resolve this error, I have uninstalled VS 2015 and performed a repair on the VS 2017 installation, but it didn't help.

You could try deleting/renaming the ComponentModelCache Folder

It should be located under %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_d117062 (The hashvalue after "15.0_" probably is different on your machine)

I've done that several times. Last time was just 5 mins ago. No luck.

I think i found the error location. Please uninstall your current LicenseHeaderManager version and try the version below:

LicenseHeaderManager_unsigned.zip

[kellybeth7]

That works! Thanks so much!

[FlorianDecker]

Nice!

Sry for the inconvenience!

[heering]

It works! Thanks for your support!

[FlorianDecker]

Nice! We will include the fix in the next official release :)
