Error using latest Ice Builder and VS2015.1

in Bug Reports
It appears that the Ice Builder for Visual Studio was updated on Friday 2016-02-26. Starting today we are seeing this error when building C# projects with Ice Builder:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000FFFF): Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Any thoughts?

The failure occurs while trying to retrieve the project type GUID, can you try with this update https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice-builder-visualstudio/releases/tag/v4.2.2-pre
You will need to uninstall Ice Builder from Visual Studio and then install IceBuilder.vsix from the above page.
I will publish the update once you confirm that it fixes the issue.
Also I'm a bit surprised with the exception, can you clarify what project types are used in your solution?
I'm glad it worked, can you clarify what project types are part of your solution, I'm trying to determine if there is additional fixes required.
Best Regards,
Jose
Thanks for reporting the issue.
