Thank you for your reply Letitia.
Reinstalling everything on my primary development machine is not an option. I did do a clean install of windows 10 Fall Creators Update approx 3 months ago, so it has gone through a lot of updates (well not major ones anyways but it is windows).
Just to clarify, the ONLY thing that doesn’t install properly is the Visual Studio plugin. However if you select that with the install, the entire install fails. If i select everything except the plugin then the install works fine, i can compile with nvcc.
Would you happen to be able to offer just the VS plugin like in a VSIX package?
Thanks for your help.
