Upgraded VS2012 to SP3 and VS2012 failed to start!
Posted: July 10th, 2013, 11:56 pm
Using System 7 SP1 64bit on ASUS Laptop
I just upgraded VS2012 to SP3 and then VS2012 would fail with fatal error when I started it; VS2012 would start okay with devenv /safemode. I only had two extensions - NuGet Package Manager and PHP Tools. I deleted the folder for PHP Tools in C:\...\...\VisualStudio\11\Extensions and then VS2012 would start finally. Also had to go through registry and delete all DEVSENSE and PHP Tool related folders/keys.
What is the correct way to do a clean uninstall of PHP Tools in a situation like this when VS2012 won't start because of PHPTools extension? Did I get all the registry values?
Is PHP Tools safe to install again with VS2012 SP3?
Thanks Neal Davis
