Resxresourcemanager: Blank screen when opening RESX Resource Manager

Created on 12 Mar 2018 · 13Comments · Source: dotnet/ResXResourceManager

Since updating VS 2017 today RESX Resource Manager is not working, just a blank screen?? I have been using this product successfully for over a year now without a problem. By the way the solution is open just in case you wondered. I have uninstalled and re-installed but still not joy.

As a quick fix i copied the Newtonsoft.Json.dll file from an other project in the folder mentioned in the error message. In my case c:\Users\erik\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Extensions\mxiin3v3.hu0. This seems to work for now.

I can confirm it is a V 1.12 version issue of ResX Resource Manager, uninstalling it and manually installing 1.11 works, then disable automatic updates.

Same here in Visual Studio Community 15.6.1
