The extension is always disabled after restarting VS

The VSIX installer sometimes fails to remove the old version of an extension during update; if the same extension is installed twice, VS disables it. Solution: use https://github.com/remcoros/DuplicateExtensionFinder to remove duplicates.

The content of the ResxManager window is empty.

Some assemblies (usually System.Windows.Interactivity) are loaded twice from different locations. Check the output window to see what locations the assembly is loaded from.

  • If it is loaded from the folder of another extension, disable that extension.
  • If it is loaded from C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/<edition>/Common7/IDE/PrivateAssemblies, you can delete it from there.
  • If it is loaded from the GAC, use gacutil.exe to remove it from there.
