Visual Studio 2015 - Nuget Exception - GetFullVsVersionString must be called on the UI thread

[Zakhaliya Ivarnovich]

I have visual studio 2015 Enterprise Update 3.
When i installed Telerik R1 2017 on it i faced the error below :

An exception was thrown while initializing part
"Nuget.PackageManagement.VisualStudio.VSolutionManager".
GetFullVsVersionString must be called on the UI thread.

 

Please see the attached for it's screenshot.
By Disabling extensions from Tools -> Extensions and Updates...error vanished.
What is going on & why Telerik has no solution for this?
==============================================
"In VisualStudio 2015 -> Tools -> Extensions and updates ->
Online: Search for the string: "Fix NuGet GetFullVsVersionString must be
called on the UI thread" and install the given fix."

I did it and found nothing.
Where is that extension to fix this issue?
Why did they remove it from marketplace?

Here is another thread about this error :

GetFullVsVersionString must be called on the UI thread.

I need telerik extensions and i do n't want to uninstall them.

Hi Zakhaliya,

Thank you for contacting our support team. Would you please make sure you have the latest version of Progress Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Extension? You can check that out in Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates.

If update is available, please, update the extension and let me know if that resolves the problem.

Hi Zakhaliya,

I have reviewed this issue in the NuGet repository. More specifically, in the Visual Studio activity log provided by HEBOS user we can see there are no Telerik extensions involved. The problem, however, is the same. Having in mind this and that we does not make calls to methods in NuGet.PackageManagement like GetFullVsVersionString, I suspect the issue is not directly caused by our extensions.

Would you please provide a Visual Studio 2015 activity log to determine which is the source of the error in your case? Here is how to generate the log:

1. Launch Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 as an administrator.
2. Execute devenv /Log "[provide_folder_path_here]\activity.log".

You can also try the workarounds described in this StackOverflow thread.

Hi dear admin,

I test all solutions in StackOverFlow thread.  

No success.

I also create another thread on StackOverFlow & githob.

Answers were the same of first thread in stack.

The best solution was that NuGet fix GetFullVsVersionString extension. But unfortunately does not exist any more.

So finally i tried to disable extensions one by one.

I figured out problem is from telerik extensions > 100% sure > 100% sure > I test it right now again > When they are disable error vanish.

After that i cleared "ActivityLog.xml" file of VS and enable all telerik extensions again & grab that error in ActivityLog.xml

You can review the error on attached file > First part of log is not readable > I do n't know why!

It seems i am right > As you see in the log file problem is from telerik extensions.

I have updated telerik extensions > Three of them > WinForm - Asp.Net Ajax - WPF

[EDIT]

It seems i am right > As you see in the log file problem is from telerik extensions.
I have updated telerik extensions > Three of them > WinForm - Asp.Net Ajax - MVC

(I do n't have WPF Extension - Typing mistake)

Link Update :

Hello Zakhaliya,

It seems that you are right - there is Telerik logic involved in this problem. Your feedback will be considered when we prioritize the problem. At this point, however, we cannot provide exact date when a fix will be released. 

Would you please let us know what features you need from our extensions? We could provide extensions with an older version depending on what you need (some feature are missing in the older versions). We could also provide an alternative solution. Here is the documentation of Progress Telerik UI for WinForms Extension.

Dear Vesko Admin,

Thanks for the answer finally.

I am using telerik 2017 R1.

Is it possible for you to attach WinForm - Asp.Net Ajax - MVC extensions for that version?

It seems after update to newer version i faced that error.

Hi Zakhaliya,

I have uploaded older versions on this file share. You have to remove the existing extensions form Tools -> Extensions and Updates... and restart Visual Studio before installing the provided ones. To install them, you just need to close Visual Studio and launch the VSIX files.

I hope that helps.

My problem solved with reinstall extensions related to my installed telerik version 2017 R1.

Finally solved this strange problem.

Thanks for the admin.

[Zakhaliya Ivarnovich]

I unchecked automatic update of those extensions.

Unfortunately they update themselves again without my permission after some reopening VS.

I do n't know in the future i will face that error again or not.

However it is working at this time.

Telerik should fix this issue in new updates.

Hello Zakhaliya,

I am really glad to hear that at this point you have a workaround.
