//Remove VB from the remaining view engine
var target = ViewEngines.Engines.OfType<RazorViewEngine>().Single();
(new Expression<Func<RazorViewEngine,string[]>>[] {
    y => y.FileExtensions,
    y => y.ViewLocationFormats,
    y => y.PartialViewLocationFormats,
    y => y.MasterLocationFormats,
    y => y.AreaMasterLocationFormats,
    y => y.AreaPartialViewLocationFormats,
    y => y.AreaViewLocationFormats
}
).Select(y => (PropertyInfo)((MemberExpression)y.Body).Member).ToList()
    .ForEach(y => y.SetValue(target,((string[])y.GetValue(target))
    .Where(x => x.EndsWith("cshtml")).ToArray(),null));
