Since installing the latest version (build 2219) of Visual Assist, I get the above error message in most of my solution's project:
2>Specified cast is not valid.
2>Error: Specified cast is not valid.
Unfortunately, increasing the log verbosity to diagnostic does not show any more details about what's wrong.
Going back to build 2217 seems to solve that issue.
I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Professional. |

Can you please try disabling the below setting to see if it helps?
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Experimental -> Enable Faster Project Load
We had a similar issue in the past which should be fixed now and it was related to this option.
Also, which exact version of VS2017 are you using?
You can use Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio to find it out. On the left I see Version 15.2
What is yours? |

This seems to be it. Disabling this option and restarting Visual Studio lets me build my projects again.

I run the latest released VS2017 version, i.e. 15.2 (26430.13). |

What language or languages does your solution use?
I am wondering why this fix did not work correctly for you, and looking for some clues. |

| Were these projects created in an earlier version of the IDE, or were they created in VS2017? If an earlier version, have they been converted to VS2017 format, or are they still in an earlier format? |

| Most were created in earlier versions of the IDE, but all of them have been converted to 2017. |

| It looks like the fix for case=104119 is causing this. We'll have an update this week. We used the version info to enable some behavior for 15.3 but we can't assume that a Microsoft fix in version X is available in version X+1. |
