Can you confirm that other TSLS features are working correctly on your installation? (formatting, completions, etc).

There is a known issue with TextMate support in VS where sometimes there are missing colors. To make sure this isn’t the case here can you try running the following from a VS Developer cmd prompt to see if it resolves the issue: • devenv.exe /updateconfiguration • devenv.exe /setup

What is your VS installation directory? Ex: C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\Microsoft Visual Studio 15.0\Common7\IDE

Does the tmLanguage folder exist under the TypeScript installation path? Ex: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 15.0\Common\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TypeScript\tmLanguage

Do you have any custom grammar files (.tmLanguage, .tmTheme) located in your user profile? Ex: %userprofile%.vs\Extensions

Can you verify this isn’t a TM language caching issue:

• Close VS
• Go to the TexMateCache location: %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio[15.0XXXXX]\TextMateCache
• Delete all the .cache files in this directory
• Reopen VS and try to repro

Does this resolve the issue? Do you have the TypeScript TextMate registry key set correctly?

• Close VS
• Open regedit
• Select HKLM
• File > Load Hive …
• Open %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_xxx\privateregistry.bin (you can name the hive VS)
• Now navigate to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\VS\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15[XXXXX]_Config\TextMate\Repositories
