Cannot upgrade or uninstall

I am running Visual Studio 2017 Community with the Visual Micro extension, version 1709.6.0. I get notifications from VS about an update of Visual Micro. When I try to install this update, I get this error message:

Code
Select All
A value for 'Component' needs to be specified in the catalog.


I decided to try to uninstall and re-install the extension, but uninstalling gives the same error. This is the (I think) relevant portioin of the uninstallation log:

Code
Select All

Any guidance on how to proceed? Thanks in advance.

Microsoft are pretty bad with their installers. The .vsix extensions are zip files and Microsoft create them and run them.

I think this means the temp folder the installer uses has issues. It might be resolved by running a visual studio repair via control panel>add or remove programs>visual studio 2017
