Windows 10: Visual studio Resource files are being stored as string

I updated to vs2022. In the old vs, i was able to add a resource file through project properties. The set up was almost automatic. And when I needed the resource file I just call it using My.resource.etc and get a byte stream.Now, i can't add it through the project properties. I use the 'add new item', then, instead of adding a class file i add a resource file. However, the files i save doesn't save as a byte object. It saves as a string. Even files like PDFs. I tried going into the properties of the resource file and change the type, but that didn't work. Any help is appreciated.

Can't Run Installer for Visual Studio 2017

Hello,

I want to install Visual Studio 2017 but the installer doesn't seem working. If I run it, nothing happens.

If I run

Code:

vs_installershell.exe -version

in Visual Studio installer folder, it returns this error:

Code:

TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

    at assertPath (path.js:28:11)

    at __webpack_require__ (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\main\StubMain.js:4:128)

I want to report this to VS team but it seems there's no way to submit my report without VS or its installer, which neither I can run now (which is ridiculous).

Thank you in advance,

Do you still have the Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager still installed?

If you have it still installed and it opens up correctly, you could try removing all additional packages that are installed, and try reinstalling them again. It could have been a corruption issue relating to package extensions that you may have installed
into Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. If that does not work, go to apps in settings, and select Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and select repair. If that does not work, you could try going to TechNet, and asking there for help. It could be a
bug with the current version of the .NET Framework 48 or with the recent version of Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

If you can not find Visual Studio Installer or Visual Studio Manager, unfortunately in this situation the only thing I can think of is if you still have the installation file that you downloaded from the Visual Studio website. If you can't find that, then
I suggest that you download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, since the 2017 Community edition is not given for free anymore unless you have some sort of subscription. However, I suggest that you still check with TechNet before taking this step.
