Visual Studio 2012 (Windows 8.1) C# editor, Usertypes color

Question

I've tried following the steps in the solution given here but I'm stuck on step two.

I have the same issue as the question linked above. But the accepted answer did not work for me, as explained below.

When I do the following:

Start "VS2012 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt" and run "gacutil /u Microsoft.VisualStudio.CSharp.Services.Language.Interop".

I get this error:

Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility. Version 4.0.30319.17929 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

No assemblies found matching: Microsoft.VisualStudio.CSharp.Services.Language.In terop Number of assemblies uninstalled = 0 Number of failures = 0

If I go to Fonts and Colors settings in Tools->Options, I do not have UserTypes available either.

Can anyone tell me what I can do? Can I add this library somehow?

Answer 1

Congratulations. That means that your machine was not infected by a beta version of Visual Studio. Rather a notorious problem with VS Beta and RC editions, the uninstaller is always the last thing they get right.

What you are trying to do has nothing to do with the problem you are trying to solve.

You'll want to read this feedback article, posted by a VS user that also complained about missing User Type settings in the dialog. No boo or bah back from the original poster of the article, sounds like devenv /setup took care of the problem.

Answer 2

delete Visual Studio and .Net framework where it's update system and .Net framework
