I had the same problem, starting just a couple hours ago. Logs were very similar, with the missing "Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine". I repaired VS, removed the .vs folder and packages folder, and rebuilt the affected solution. None of those steps affected the problem. A little research indicated that VCProjectEngine is used by C++ projects, which mine is not, so I did not have anything for C++ installed. However, adding a workload to VS 2022 that included C++ in its name resolved the problem. Not an ideal solution, but it works for now. |

This is a good short term fix. I used to do a ton of C++ programming but now I rarely get a chance so not sure why I didn't think to try this solution. Thanks for the tip! Now I can get back to questioning my regular scheduled programming. |

I just install the C++ tools:
Once this finished I was able to run GitHub Copilot chat in my older projects. Granted I still was able to get it to crash on asking it to help optimize one of my long winded API calls but that is a different issue. |

Odd and in the GitHub Copilot Chat logs there is no error? That is very odd because mine got very chatty when it wasn't working. Have you tried looking into the log file? I think it is in your users folder AppData\Local\Temp\VSGitHubCopilotLogs, look at any of these files may provide some helpful insight. Without an error it maybe hard to diagnose the issue and you could be just spinning your wheel when it could be something else. |

This only seems to happen on projects that are using older dotnet libraries. I've tested this on dotnet core 7 projects and dotnet core 8 which work fine but anything older it give the provided error message.
Update
TBGBrock solution to install the C++ developer tools does help this problem but it does put a road block in place for those of us who are C# developers and adds an extra step to our dev environment.
