Upgrading Visual Studio to a more recent version is usually a smooth process, but now and then, it goes awry. Hopefully, if you find yourself in the following situation, this information will prove helpful.
When you use the Help => Check For Updates menu option from inside Visual Studio, it launches the Visual Studio Installer, which is supposed to kill off all running devenv.exe processes before proceeding to upgrade. Unfortunately, it seems like sometimes it doesn't. For this reason, you should avoid upgrading from within Visual Studio; instead, use Task Manager to ensure no devenv.exe processes are running, then run the Visual Studio Installer directly from the Windows Start Menu. It should minimize the chance of problematic upgrades.
If you have a problem upgrading, you may see warning message boxes pop up when loading the Eamon CS solution. They read (in part):
The XYZ package did not load correctly.
Where XYZ is a package name that varies. The solution to this problem is simple, purge the contents of Visual Studio's component cache:
1. Open an Administrator Command Prompt 2. CD %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_*\ComponentModelCache 3. Verify you are in the ComponentModelCache directory before proceeding to delete its contents 4. DEL /F /Q *
Note: the directory 17.0_* corresponds to the version number for Visual Studio 2022; other Visual Studios will differ.
The next time the Eamon CS solution opens in Visual Studio, it will rebuild the cache, and everything should work as expected.
