Setup Problems

Unable to install (msi and zip) for Visual Studio 2022

Started by richev on 2,170 views

I had a trial version of NCrunch installed for VS 2019, which expired and I uninstalled. I have since also installed VS 2022 Professional with a view to installing and buying NCrunch. However, attempts to install it have failed.

When running the msi, I get an error of

Visual Studio 2022 was not detected on this system. If this is incorrect, you will need to install this product manually using a ZIP file from the NCrunch website.


When trying to install via a zip file, the last stage of devenv.exe /setup /nosetupvstemplates fails with an error of

The operation could not be completed


Seeking suggestions on how to troubleshoot this, and get NCrunch installed.
Hi, thanks for posting.

If you make any modification to the 'Common7\IDE\Extensions\extensions.configurationchanged' file (just to reset its lastchanged status on the file system), this should trigger VS to reload its extensions and avoid needing to run devenv.exe /setup. Make sure the IDE is closed when you do this.
Thank you Remco, this fix worked for me.
