In certain installation scenarios, after you install
Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2015, the COBOL language service can be uninstalled. This results in the following features missing from
the COBOL editor: colorization, IntelliSense for COBOL and any other COBOL language support. This is an issue with Visual
Studio's MEF component cache becoming corrupted.
To resolve this issue and restore COBOL language support in the editor:
- From a command prompt, navigate to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE.
- Execute the following commands:
devenv /updateconfiguration
And then:
devenv /clearcache
