"The visual Studio component cache is out of date, please restart Visual Studio."

I'm on windows 7, using Atmel studio 7.0. When I opened up my project in Atmel Studio, it failed to load and gave this error:

The Visual Studio component cache is out of date please restart visual studio.

When I closed and reopened Atmel Studio, the same error continued. I also tried right clicking on my project, and selecting "Reload project" but then I got this error:

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: url

How can I open up my project?

Solution

  • The solution was actually very simple. I closed Atmel studio, and looked for 

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\AtmelStudio_7.0.790

    I deleted this whole folder, and when I reopened Atmel Studio, everything worked fine.
