Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.VC.Interfaces

Question

I updated my community edition of visual studio 2017 to 15.3.0

and I got this new build error

Build Failure. Error: Could not load file or as

Answer 1

If you need to keep Lightweight Solution Load enabled, or don't have the option to disable it, then modifying your Visual Studio install to include "Desktop development with C++" will add the missing file and repair the issue.
