This issue persists even after unlocking it
Have you installed using extension manager? Can you uninstall once and then download the extension directly from gallery and install. If still problem persits then please share more details like OS, VS Version.
Same problem. E_INVALID_ARG. Windows 10, VS 2015 Community, ASP Net 5 project.
Works on non-ASP Net 5 projects so this is probably the cause.
.dll is not blocked. Uninstalled and reinstalled via VS (x2) and directly downloaded from Gallery (x1).
Problem persists in the ASP Net 5 project.
Uninstalled and used an alternative extension.
I like this extension, but I’d really like to request an update to the icon that appears in the docked windows; The current one just looks a bit 16-bit. http://i.xomf.com/wjjsy.jpg
Thanks for reporting this, Will update in next version

I had to start VS 17 as ‘admin’, without that I kept getting this error. The “Temporary ASP.NET Files” folder didn’t exist on my system anywhere.
