The list of content files in the recipe file MauiApp1.build.appxrecipe" is missing or malformed - .net-maui

Working on .net maui blazor app all has been working well on windows version until upgrading visual studio 2022 preview and now I get the following issue that the build.appxrecipe is missing or malformed.
It is there in the folder as I have checked and cannot find much help with the error.
I have tried to delete the bin folder, restarting visual studio, cleaning the solution but nothing seems to have helped.
Have also tried creating a new blank maui app and again get the same issue even with a brand new blank solution.
If anyone can offer any assitance it would greatly appreciated.

No DOM Explorer or JS Console in Visual Studio 2017 - Debugging Office Add-In Excel

I can't figure out how to get the DOM Explorer or JS Console to show on my Office Add-In I'm dev in VS 2017. They used to work and one day, just stopped.
So far I've tried the following:
Test Proj at home and copied source files to non working work computer
Removed 100% Visual Studio and re-installed
Started working w/ new template in VS 2017 vs my existing Project
Tried messing w/ .Net versions
Updated all available Nuget packages
Other settings too likely, I'm willing to start fresh if anyone has suggestions that don't work first try for me.
I'm at a loss what the issue could be. My Add-Ins load and behave correctly, but I can't see the DOM or JS console which is the whole reason I use VS 2017, any ideas what I can try?
I was able to resolve by uninstalling the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime...

wsdl definition not being updated even after closing iis site

I am using visual studio pro 2012 edition, one of our developers updated the wsdl definitions on a webservice without telling us and for a while i couldnt figure out why the wsdl definitions werent being updated. I did clean and build of the services, stopped the site and even exited IIS Express. Turns out if you have the solution open in visual studio with the old wsdl definition, the new definitions are not updated after pulling latest(svn). I tried several times and the only solution is to close visual studio and restart using the latest codebase.
anyone else experience this? could be a bug in vs2012 only?
I figured out what happened, my colleague copied over the hidden folder .vs folder which had the applicationhost.config file pointing to their username, vs2012 does not give any errors and happily runs the service but it serves the old pages. VS2015 shows an error page which is how i found out the problem.

Issue with creating windows 10 UAP project visual studio 2015

I have created a sample win10 Universal.
Initially project was created but its showing some reference missing error like
CS0246 The type or namespace name missing
When I close the visual studio and re open the same project the solution is not able to load the project.

VS2012/2013 fails to display solution explorer

I have this problem with both VS2012 and 2013. When I load an existing or create a new solution I get a ProviderPackage error - An exception was thrown during package instantiation and was caught in the package manager. After I close the error dialog, the solution explorer window is empty, although there are solution files open in the editor.
The ActivityLog.xml file shows different modules loading when the error occurs, depending on the project type. Is there a way that I can determine the common thread between 2012 and 2013 that is causing this error.
There is probably a corrupted dll which I have to replace. I am dead in the water until I figure this out.
Help.
Clearing the Visual Studio Component Model Cache worked for me (details: Error message "No exports were found that match the constraint contract name")
None of the previous suggestions worked for me, but this one did:
http://www.hjerpbakk.com/blog/2014/7/25/no-content-in-solution-explorer-using-visual-studio-2013
This issue is because of a MEF cache corruption. Installing [or uninstalling any extension] will invalidate the cache causing VS to rebuild it.
I ran into the empty solution explorer with Visual Studio 2013, and fixed it with a repair install.
Solution: This worked for me.
I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2015 with the Solution Explorer always showing empty, even after deleting the ComponentModelCache folder. Looking at the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.err file, one of the errors was:
"----- Catalog construction errors -----
Error #1
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.PartDiscoveryException: Failure while scanning type ......"
Doing a Google search on Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.PartDiscoveryException lead me to a Nuget package for Visual Studio MEF. Since I read so many posts of people have this same problem, I figured the problem was with Visual Studio and not necessarily any particular extension. So I installed this Visual Studio MEF Nuget package, restarted Visual Studio, and now the Solution Explorer is populated every time.
Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition/
Deleting the .suo file worked for me.
Close VS, delete suo file of your project (is hidden), open your project again.
I had this problem with two projects, this fixed it in both cases.
Also, creating a new project (in my case a Console Application) also worked! That was probably the easiest fix i've found thus far and you don't have to delete anything! Nice...
Go To Window menu in visual studio and click reset window layout...it will work

VS2012 Express Web Can't Create MVC4 Apps

I have VS2012 Express Web installed on my machine and can create all different kinds of Projects with exception of MVC3/MVC4 apps. When I click OK on the New Project dialog I get the Select A Template dialog. I notice that the Create a Unit Test Project checkbox is Disabled. Selecting any of the choices (such as Internet Application) gives me this same error: The system cannot find the file specified (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002).
I have uninstalled and deleted the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\VWDExpress\ProjectTemplatesCache and ItemsTemplateChache - and after removal deleted the entire VWDExpress directory so the fresh install would recreate all the templates. I've tried both the web-installer as well as the .iso installer. Has anyone seen this problem or have any idea why I can't create MVC3/MVC4 projects?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have posted to the MSDN Newgroup and not had any luck there.
regards,
Bill
I had the same problem with a full installation of Visual Studio 2012. Uninstalling Visual Studio and everything it came with (SQL Server localDB, Silverlight SDKs etc), restarting, then reinstalling Visual Studio made it work.
Prior to re-installing, I ran ProcessMonitor during an attempt to create an MVC4 app and it kept trying to find an "extension.vsixmanifest" file but couldn't. I'm not sure which one, since I didn't try reinstalling all my extensions; maybe that will help.
