Title: VS Faults Opening Any Page With ForceItemsIntoToolbox Error
Post by: A_Controls_Guy on November 25, 2019, 04:29:40 PM

I have one that I am thinking might be a bad VS2019 Community.

I can open projects that are OK on other computers, even a fresh extracted copy of ver399xR1.

But, when ever I try to open any form it shows the error screen saying it could not load zForceItemsIntoToolbox - which is a public class in the VB file. It also prohibits me from opening the ForceItemsIntoToolbox.vb code at all. I tried copying the file from another AHMI application but still faults.

This only happens on one Windows 10 Pro desktop.

Is there anything I should try before uninstalling & reinstalling VS?

If you don't have any other issues with that particular computer then it might be safe to assume that it's the corrupt VS installation.

Maybe do a full memory test as well as check the hard drive for bad sectors.

Or do a fresh install of Windows and then install VS.

First I tried the Repair option on the VS installer & still the same problem. Now it is completely uninstalling, then I will delete the program and Documents folders for it just to be sure before reinstalling.
