it’s in the GAC. 😄

Also note that we worked with the biz talk team to fix this for their next update.

@TingluoHuang Great! Glad we identified the program.

@ericsciple Shouldn’t the .NET versioning info on How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed still be addressed because it corresponds with Win 10 like you mentioned?

Removing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Common from the GAC did the trick. Pfew, thanks a lot for your assistance guys.

Still curious what installer put that file in the GAC. It cerainly wasn’t me. This machine is brand new and i did nothing with the GAC yet.

… Of course, as soon as I claim to be out of ideas publicly, I have an idea. 🐑

@erwinkramer can you, from a Developer Command Prompt, run the following command?

gacutil /l | findstr /I Microsoft.VisualStudio.*

… and share the output. I’m wondering if the GAC isn’t out enemy here. Perhaps there’s a GAC version of the assembly that’s being loaded that’s actually older than the version shipped with the Agent. It’s worth a try!
