Custom Activity Visual Studio Crashed

Hi,
My visual studio is crashed while trying to add an activity in the “add activity designer” using the new UiPath activity extension for visual studio.
I have uninstalled and reinstall the extension. but that didn’t help.

PFB for the event log.

Hi @Sourav_Maz,

What are the things you are trying to add while creating activity.

Try avoding icon addition and then try once please.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. When I’m clicking the “Add” button, the visual studio becomes unresponsive.

No specific icon.

Cheers,
Sourav

Hey @Sourav_Maz,

I just tried using it which works fine.

Could you please try re-installing VS2019.

This may help you resolve.

Make sure you choose remove all related files during uninstall.

Thanks
