Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 crashes on Controller Scaffolding

I'm trying to use EF6.1.3 and Visual Studio 2015 to make some simple CRUD pages, but I keep getting errors whenever I go to "Add Controller"

I tried everything from reinstalling Entity Framework to reinstalling Visual Studio completely. I've created a new empty web app and tried to add a controller and I get the same crash.

I originally had VS2015 before update 1 and had the same problem. I thought Update 1 would fix it but no luck.

There is no error message. VS just shuts down and restarts. There is something in the event log but it doesn't seem to be too helpful:

This helps me:

  1. Close Visual Studio.
  2. Open administrative cmd in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
  3. devenv.exe /resetsettings
  4. devenv.exe /resetuserdata

Open Visual Studio.

I had the same issue as you after the October update. Aram's answer is the method I used to solve my issue. However, looking closely at the dump, your issue is in the MSVCR120_CLR0400.dll basically uninstall this dll and re-install it then follow Aram's list.

MSVCR120_CLR0400.dll is a security update that resolves a vulnerability in the 4.5 and 4.5.1 that could allow elevation of privilege on a server by using a web browser that can run ASP.NET applications. Microsoft explanation of MSVCR120_CLR0400.dll
