SDK 28 installation error

Laurent Dournaux

Hello,

I have updated my SDK to SP28 with Visual Studio 2019 but I have an error when installing "InstallTools". The folder is copied but then I have this message “Could not load assembly 'EnvDTE, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'…”.

My VS is installed in the default path : C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Professional\\.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I had a similar issue with another version of the SDK installer. We worked out that you can copy all the dll files from C:\\SDK\\Tools into C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Professional\\Common7\\IDE\\PrivateAssemblies

The VSTools part of the SDK install was failing for me so this seemed to replicate the duplication of files that occurs as part of this step. I found that if EnvDTE could not be loaded then all subsequent tools dll files to be copied where ignored which left me unable to create projects or items from templates as well. This worked for me, so hopefully it will for you as well.
