roslyn: VS crashes after opening solution with "Cannot find service module info file '*/roslynRemoteHost.servicehub.service.json'" / Cannot execute 'discoverService'.

I could find several similar issues but not identical.

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 ver 15.7.3 (27703.2026) .NET Framework ver 4.7.02558 on fully updated Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 (64b)
