I use the Silverlight 5 SDK tool SLSVCUTIL to generate the WCF service metadata for use with Xamarin. It's a basic usage passing the URL to the svc and a /d output folder for the generated content. It's been working great for years.
Today I installed .NET 4.6.1, rebooted, then install VS 2015.1 and it appears something has broken the SLSVCUTIL. I ran the code in an admin command prompt and the following error appears:
Error: An error occurred in the tool.
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Anyone know how to resolve this after the latest updates to .NET and Visual Studio 2015? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Silverlight 5 SDK but no change.
I ran in to this issue today, having also recently updated VS 2015.1. It seems to have been fixed by applying the following update for Silverlight: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3126036
