问题
My Visual Studio 2008 Professional gave me the following error:
An error has occurred in the application. For more information please see the log file. Its path is listed in the About box.
Riiight. I went to the About box, and there is nothing about a log file. And the System Info button has so much information, that I can't even figure out where to look for information on the location of a log file. I tried the find, using 'log', and finally gave up -- there are too many 'dialog' and other false positives found.
So, where is that log file?
Visual Studio 2008, version 9.0.30729.1 SP; MS .NET framework version 3.5 SP1.
回答1:
From the documentation of the /Log command line switch:
If
LogFileis not specified, two files will be written to the current user's non-localized application data folder. The non-localized application data folder for Visual Studio can be found from theAPPDATAenvironment variable. For example, for Visual Studio 2008, the folder is%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0, where%APPDATA%represents the value in theAPPDATAenvironment variable.The two files are, by default, called
ActivityLog.xmlandActivityLog.xsl. The former contains the activity log data and the latter is an XML style sheet which provides a more convenient way to view the XML file. To view the Activity log in your default XML viewer (e.g. Internet Explorer)
You will probably have to run devenv with the /Log switch for these files to be created. Visual Studio doesn't seem to log anything by default.

The solution mentioned above is misleading. The error message you mentioned basically originates from an Add-in caled VMDebugger. The location of their log file is available on the about box of the add-in. The path looks like this
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-\vmware-vsid-2.log
I found the following entries in the log
6/4/2015 13:55:38: VMware Virtual Debugger loaded successfully.
6/4/2015 14:03:03: ERROR: pControls->get_Item(CComVariant(itemName), &pCtrl)

Additional info: Visual studio 2010 logs are available at
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml %APPDATA% resolves to “C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming”

Although I've tried to do with Sunil approach, it didn't work on my machine. So I tried to remove the following folder
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\2017\PROFESSIONAL\COMMON7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Service Fabric Tools
After this, I uninstalled all the previous and current Service Fabric installed on my machine and reinstall the Service Fabric for 2017.
Seems it's now working.
