Others experienced this in the past with VS2015. The advice in [How to fix] MS VS2015 text editor is blank after upgrading Intel® parallel Studio XE I believe will help.

Hi all, I had the same problem and could fix it like for PSXE17 update 2 (https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows/topic/713771).

@Kevin Besides it's claimed the root cause is a corrupted cache in VS, the problem was not present in PSXE2016 with all updates and PSXE2017 initial and update 1 (VS2015 various updates). It's unclear, whether the Intel VS-integration corrupts the cache?

This problem normally caused by corrupted VS cache. This usually happens when installing or updating extensions or other Visual Studio components.

I did not installed any other update meanwhile. Isn't there a way, that the installer can check this? Before updating everything was fine. Please, improve the installer.

It happens where our product is not involved also. (See here). However, your same questions/ideas have been asked of and are being investigated be our IDE integration and installation developers to see whether it can be avoided.
