Several users have reported issues with the PVS-Studio plugin for Visual Studio version 17.12 and later, preventing the plugin to be run. In this post, we'll explain the issue and suggest possible solutions.
Some users of the PVS-Studio static analyzer experience the plugin crash due to an internal error when using the plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. This failure is followed by an extensive error message.

This error occurs because Visual Studio 2022 17.12 has changed the IDE API for plugin interaction. That's why, in PVS-Studio 7.33, we've adjusted the plugin for Visual Studio to ensure compatibility with this version 17.22 or later and the IDE.
