Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommonIDE.Solutions.SolutionPropertyBag' to type 'Ankh.Scc.Native.ICOMPropertyBag'

[Rand-Random]

Edit:
Since the build artifacts are expired, here a version I downloaded some time ago

Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip

This version should fix the below mentioned issue.

Version of the provided file:
2.9.120.0
2.9.120-d119c2b3ac9e09a09631eb7801f7450ce5d41c3b

Here a screenshot of the content, after I renamed the containing *.vsix file to *.zip and extraced its content:

Upon opening one of many solutions I am getting this error.
The error happens everytime I open this one solution, other solutions can be opened without an error.

Except the annoyance of closing the message box everytime I open the solution, I don't see any other issues.
Everything seems to work eg. commiting/updating and everything else ankh has to offer, just this error message upon opening the solution, nothing more nothing less.

Interesting issue. Looks like the code in vs was converted to managed without proper com compatibility... We need a fix there.

[Rand-Random]

Thanks for the very fast fix.
I wonder is there some automatic build where I can grab a version with this commit?

[rhuijben]

If you click on Actions in the project and look at the last successful build, you should see artifacts that you can download... These are vsix packages that can be installed in VS

I just encountered this issue after installing VS 2022 17.2, so I've installed the last successful build and restarted without encountering the issue again.

PS are you planning to publish to Marketplace?

Still an issue in 17.4.3

You installed the latest build of the plugin, as was mentioned in this topic?
You may find the currently latest version here: https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/actions/runs/3633025147

Yes, that resolves it. I had installed the latest Release version instead,

TIP: You have to sign up to GitHub and be logged in otherwise the build Artifacts are not downloadable.

The ankhsvn package is expired.

Where can I download the latest update?
Thank you.

@re14nz
Click on Actions at the top, navigate to the latest Build Action, ans at the bottom you will find the Artifacts the build produced.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, we currently migrating to Visual Studio 2022. From Visual Studio 2012

How can I fix the problem with the Ankh sub-version?

[Rand-Random]

@ChumaniCodeRR
Did you actually read the messages here?
solution was already posted a couple of times.

[JesperOlsen]

There are no successful builds where the artifacts are not expired

@JesperOlsen
Not sure why I deserve the thumbs down, isn't like I am doing the builds/artifacts, but okay you do you.

Here a version I downloaded some time ago, give it a try:
Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip

Yes, I couldn't find any that worked. In the end I just downloaded the code a built the solution, and picked the Ankh.Package.vsix out of src\Ankh.Package\bin.

That was quicker than looking for a build and solved the problem perfectly.

the attached file at the first post didn’t work?

Honestly, whilst I appreciate you are trying to help and I'm sure its okay, a "here's a version I downloaded some time ago" zip with no version/build info from some guy I dont know on a two year old comment didn't fill me with the same confidence as a quick download and build of the current source.

Its only one extra click to build the latest commit from a known legit source.

Just to let you know, doesn't help you and may not increase your confidence, but maybe it helps others.
Edited the first post and included the version number + a screenshot of its content.
