When I start up my solution, I get a Visual Studio message saying: "An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension.

You can get more information by examining the file: .../VisualStudio/14.0/ActivityLog.xml"

Looking at the XML, I see a few of these errors:


<entry>
<record>577</record>
<time>2017/04/05 12:20:55.320</time>
<type>Error</type>
<source>Editor or Editor Extension</source>

Do you have the SourceLinks extension installed? If so, here is a workaround to fix the configuration:

disable Visual Assist (using Tools | Extensions and Updates)
restart
disable SourceLinks (using Tools | Extensions and Updates)
restart
enable Visual Assist (using Tools | Extensions and Updates)
restart
enable SourceLinks (using Tools | Extensions and Updates)
restart

Sorry for the inconvenience. This will be fixed in the next release of Visual Assist. case=104914
