Data Model Designer - "Operation could not be completed" error when loading the designer

created 13 years ago

When i add a new item -> ORM Data Model Wizard, a file called ORMDataModel1.xpo is added to my solution.
When i double-click the file i get the error "The operation could not be completed".
Nothing else happens and an empty file is created.

I have tried to run devenv.exe with the /log command and repeat the above process : no errors are logged.

    Activitylog does have an Error entry which it doesn't mark as an Error Type.
    These are the lines referencing to the ORMDataModelPackage (log attached)

    Thank you for the additional information. According to the log file, the installer cannot install the component because it already installed. If you cannot uninstall the component from Visual Studio, try the following CLI command:

    Code
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe /a /u:118680fc-f6e6-4ca2-a9e3-e14a96968383

        Hi
        Same scenario here after upgrading from v12.1.4 to v12.1.5. Following Davy van Delft's solution did solve the problem :)
        Kind regards, Ole

          Hi,
          Same problems here after updating from v12.1.4 to v12.1.5.
          Problem solved with posted solution.

            Deleting folder and running repair solved also the problem for me.
            Thanks.

            Hi Davy,
            It seems that the DevExpress.Xpo.VisualDesigner.Core.dll assembly was not correctly installed or it is an older version. Please try to uninstall the ORM Data Model Designer via the Tools/ExtensionManager dialog in Visual Studio. Then, re-install the designer by executing the "c:\Program Files (x86)\DXperience 12.1\System\XPO\DevExpress.Xpo.VisualDesigner.DslPackage.vsix" file. I hope this should help.

                Sorry for the typo. I meant that i couldn't uninstall any of the DevExpress extensions in the extension manager.
                i.e. When i wanted to uninstall the ORM Data model wizard extension, i only got the question if i was sure to uninistall the extension. I clicked OK and the dialog closed, but the extension was still there.
                After completely uninstalling, cleanup (incl. registry), installing Devexpress Winforms 12.1.4, i'm able to uninstall all Devexpress extensions except for the ORM Data Model Wizard. Verifying unistall with OK, still leaves the extension installed.
                When i try to use the ORM Data Model Wizard, still the same error "The operation could not be completed"
