VS installation folder not found
Since installing VS 2026, the small icon next to a unit test declaration that used to let me run the test is now crossed out. The message ‘Not runnable: Visual Studio installation folder is not set’ appears when I hover over it.
Otherwise Resharper is working in VS2026.
The solution uses .NET Framework 4.7.
Thanks.
David.

Hello David,
Thanks for contacting JetBrains support.
It looks like you have encountered a known issue: RSRP-501706 [OOP] Unit Testing: Exploration of MsTestMetadataExplorer failed. Visual Studio installation folder is not set. Please check if you're using Out-of-Process mode. If yes, please try to switch to in-process mode.
Please share a screenshot if this is not the case.
Thanks,
Tom
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I was in Out Of Process mode. I changed to In Process, no change. I cleared the ReSharper caches, rebuilt the solution, restarted VS, no change in the icon.
If I click on the icon and choose Why can't I run tests I get this:
Thanks.
