Thanks for sending through the bug report. I'm wondering if you'd be able to try the following steps:
1. Reinstall NCrunch: Run the uninstaller, ensure that the directory at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software" and everything in it is removed, then run the installer for the latest version.
.. if this doesn't appear to help:
2. Verify that you have v2.0, v3.5 and v4.0 of the .NET framework installed (check inside C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework for the existence of directories)
.. if this seems to bed OK:
3. Try changing the
Use hosted task runner global configuration setting to 'FALSE'
.. if this doesn't help:
3. Browse to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software\NCrunch for Visual Studio 2012\". Try running the following executables directly using explorer:
nCrunch.BuildHost.x64.exe
nCrunch.BuildHost.x86.exe
nCrunch.TestHost.x64.exe
nCrunch.TestHost.x86.exe
nCrunch.Host.x86.exe
nCrunch.Host.x64.exe
nCrunch.TaskRunner20.x64.exe
nCrunch.TaskRunner20.x86.exe
nCrunch.TaskRunner40.x64.exe
nCrunch.TaskRunner40.x86.exe
.. Each of these programs should start to execute, then explode with a standard .NET exception, probably a NullReferenceException. Do they all follow this pattern? Or are there any that behave differently? (i.e. refuse to load with a different error?).
