Hi!

Thank you for getting in touch.
This extension is a bit unsupported for some time but soon there should be an update to address the issue you described an support Visual Studio 2017 also.

In any case, the error you are facing now seems to be related with the extension installation, probably due to the uninstall/install process. It's quite common for thinks to go sideways on this process with any Visual Studio extension. Microsoft's advice for this is to clean the Visual Studio MEF cache, you can find an extension to help you do that here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.ClearMEFComponentCache

Please let me know if that fixes the problem for you.

Best,

Btw, the location of the XML file to update is:
C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\TFSScrumExtensions

Turns out if you delete the default file, run the Clear MEF Component Cache and uninstall and reinstall TFSScrumExtensions everything starts to work again :-)... Very happy.

Thank you!
