The “GetDeploymentPathFromVsixManifest” task failed unexpectedly

Question

After installation of visual studio 2017 getting his error for VSIX projects ... any suggestion to resolve the issue?

Severity    Code          


        

Answer 1

This error appeared for me randomly without doing any change in the code. It disappeared after removing the following folders:

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_765fd02aExp C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_765fd02aExp

After it I am able to build again without error.

To find the folders I recommend to use some file search application and use the string "15.0_Exp*".
