My Visual Studio 2015 is always crashing when I'm trying to set the target device in Project Properties -> Driver Install -> Deployment part.

enter image description here

Here, if to try to configure device, the VS2015 is crashing always. This behavior is the same both for KMDF/UMDF types of project.

I've tried to reinstall WDK, but the final result is the same... I can't even finish both basic tutorials for UMDF/KDMF projects at MSDN...

What have I do to fix this issue?

  • any further info from the eventlog? – Falco Alexander Feb 02 '16 at 09:17
  • @FalcoAlexander If I understood correctly, there are even 5 event-logs from that crash. They are: http://pastebin.com/WPkMvmeR , http://pastebin.com/dDwm6fgx , http://pastebin.com/pshshitz , http://pastebin.com/LmcPnC9W , http://pastebin.com/tJtymy2K –  Feb 02 '16 at 09:29
  • can you reproduce it on a 2nd conputer? there is a complete vs2015 install on win10 vitual machine to download at msdn. – Falco Alexander Feb 02 '16 at 09:33
  • also pls try to start vs using Devenv.exe /SafeMode, – Falco Alexander Feb 02 '16 at 09:37
  • @FalcoAlexander VS in safe mode even doesn't allow me to view project properties. If I try to do it, then I've got the next error: http://oi63.tinypic.com/25spojm.jpg About reproducing... I shall answer you later, just because it takes time :) –  Feb 02 '16 at 10:14
  • @FalcoAlexander have tried at another PC, the same result... –  Feb 02 '16 at 11:41
  • I can confirm/reproduce the error. You should report it to MS – Falco Alexander Feb 02 '16 at 15:05
  • This has been an issue since VS2013. I would recommend manual deployment. – tchau.dev Feb 04 '16 at 21:53
  • please keep us updated – Falco Alexander Feb 06 '16 at 13:55
  • Not seeing this filed on Connect, I went ahead and filed a bug as I am also seeing this on two different machines: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2439262/configuring-deployment-device-can-crash-vs2015-with-ddk – Brendan Grant Mar 05 '16 at 20:48

    This question is an indirect duplicate of as both problems have the same cause. The answer posted by [Justin Stenning](http://stackoverflow.com/a/34198399/2815044) should provide a feasible workaround (as it did for me). – Enumeration May 13 '16 at 17:30
