VS2017 not available with 3.6.435

[m.overeem]

I've installed 3.6.438, but this version contains other errors.
In VS2017.3 I can't open file-diffs anymore, it results in an error:

Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Devart.ReviewAssistant.VersionControl, Version=3.6.435.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

So I can't install an older version (because it will not integrate with vs2017) and the last dev build is unusable because of this error. How can I fix this?

Hi,

Unfortunately, we cannot reproduce this problem. Review Assistant 3.6.438 (developer build) works fine with VS 2017 (15.3.0). It seems that the problem is related to MEF cache bug in Visual Studio 2017 because the error message contains a string with the old version 'Version=3.6.435.0'.
To resolve the problem, you should perform the following steps:

1. Download the 'Clear MEF Component Cache' extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/it ... onentCache
2. Select 'Clear MEF Component Cache' in the Visual Studio Tools menu

If the problem is not resolved, please provide us with the full ActivityLog.xml file.

The solution does not work, the error remains after clearing the MEF cache. It looks like the bundled Devart.ReviewAssistant.TeamFoundation.dll is of the wrong version. The installed version of that dll is 3.6.435.15 which does not match the other versions.
