After changing my temporary folder, I got an issue with IntelliSense in VS2015 complaining it cannot find the temp folder (other applications, including VS2015, find the new location just fine).

The error I receive after firing up a project (seems to happen with any type of solution, C#, ASP.NET etc) is repeatedly this message in the output window of Visual Studio 2015:

enter image description here

[Failure] Could not find a part of the path 'R:\TMP\.NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.cs'.
[Failure] Could not find a part of the path 'R:\TMP\.NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.cs'.

I think I replaced all rogue references to the R:\TMP location in the registry, but this one remains. Anyone any idea how to fix this?

    Hi Abel, please try to remove or delete the folders: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0 and C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0. Delete the .suo file in your project folder and start the VS to open your project to rebuild it. – Sara Liu - MSFT Mar 23 '17 at 06:49

  1. Exit Visual Studio
  2. Delete all non-project files (bin, obj. .vs, _ReSharper.Caches folders, *.suo files, ...)
  3. Start VS and rebuild

That fixed it for me.

Related but maybe not exactly answering this question.

I had this issue but realized that the error message couldn't find v4.x.0, so I changed the filename in the AppData/Local/TEMP/ directory as well as the versions inside the code. Then I had another error saying it was missing v4.y.0. So, I copied the original file and had two files with both names and code pointing to both versions. I then ran the Clean Solution command and Rebuild command, restarted VS and then it worked.

Just go to: Build, than select: Rebuild Solution ... As easy as that...

    If it only were true, that was the first thing I tried. The message kept coming back. But as already answered, it's a problem with the .vs folder, containing localized settings. Delete that and it solves the issue. – Abel Oct 13 '18 at 12:58
