VS2017 not available with 3.6.435

I've updated our Review Assistant installation from 3.6.430 to 3.6.435. On the server everything seems OK, but on the client, Visual Studio 2017 was not available for the integration during the installation.
I continued with just VS 2015 selected. There it works fine.
But when starting VS 2017 I just get an error that the package "Devart.ReviewAssistant.ReviewAssistantPackage, ... Version 3.6.430.0 (!) ... did not load correctly".
So I wanted to revert to 3.6.430. But this setup is now also not showing VS2017 during the setup.
And even after the installation, the error is still showing in VS2017.
Do you have any help regarding this?
VS2017 is Enterprise Edition version 15.2 (26430.14) Release.
VS2015 is Enterprise Edition version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting the error. It is the known problem. The workaround is:
1 Download 'Clear MEF Component Cache' extension
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/it ... onentCache
2 Select Clear 'MEF Component Cache' in the Visual Studio Tools menu

I did as you suggested and even uninstalled Review Assistant.
But it still gave this error here (ActivityLog.xml) when starting VS2017:

So I copied the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Devart from another PC and now it works fine again in VS2017, even though it is not installed by the setup.
When I start the setup for 3.6.435, I still only see the options to integrate with VS 2010 (shell from SSMS) or VS 2015.
=> How do I properly install version 3.6.435 in VS 2017?

I can confirm same issue from side. I am using Visual Studio 2017 15.2 26430.14
After upgrading to latest version 3.6.435 of Review Assistant I I had exception described in OP, I cleared MEF component cache and try to reinstall RA, but installer can no longer see Visual Studio 2017 in installation dialog(Visual Studio 2015 available though). I even tried to use previous installer version 3.6.430 but VS 2017 not available there too.
So I am unable to use RA at all with Visual Studio 2017, any tips or workaround's how to fix it?

Hi,
We tried to reproduce this problem with Visual Studio 2017 15.2 (26430.15) Release, but everything works correctly. Please update Visual Studio 2017 to the latest build and if you still have this problem:
1 Check whether a file is blocked by the third-party application, for example, by the antivirus application. Please ensure that the file was not put into the antivirus quarantine.
2 Run GetVsInstances.exe
http://devart.com/pub/GetVsInstances.zip and send the vs_instances.txt file to us. This information will help us to solve the problem.

I have latest VS2017 with all updates installed, also I tried perform "Repair" for VS2017 but without luck.
1) ReviewAssistant installer is not blocked or put on quarantine by anti-virus software.
2) Here is result of GetVsInstances:
10.0
Visual Studio 2010
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\

Visual Studio 2015

I tried version 3.6.436 but VS 2017 is still not available in the list during the installation.
Was the correction already included there or will it be in a later version?

I've updated VS2017 to 15.2 (26430.15) and this also didn't help. When running the Review Assistant setup, I still only see the options for VS2010 and VS2015, but no VS2017
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since only few users reported this problem, please install developer build to solve it:
http://devart.com/pub/reviewassistant.exe.
If the number of such cases increases, we will release this fix.
