Invalid Pointer

Question

I have a project in Asp.Net MVC with Entity Framework 4.5, I created clean, but by trying to create a View I receive the following message:

Error :

There was an error running the Selected code Generator : 'Pointer invalid (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))'

You can also view the error by clicking here.

I looked for something with the code displayed, but found nothing.

Version used :

Community 2015 v 14.0.24720.00 Update 1.

Answer 1

To fix the mentioned problem only Windows restart was required! I tried to restart the Project, Visual Studio 2015 and did not help. Only then I realized that there was a windows 10 update, because, already happened other times windows bugar update Visual Studio.

My suggestion would be:

• Check for windows update.
• Update and restart windows.

Answer 2

With Visual Studio closed, delete all files that are inside the following directory: %Localappdata% Microsoft Visualstudio 14.0 Componentmodelcache.

It will probably work again.

Answer 3

The problem was being caused by some extension, I did the removal and reinstallation of some of them, in addition to the reinstallation of Visual Studio, and everything started to work normally.
