(VS'22) Attempt to fix startup issues
Pre-release
- Fixed several 3rd party assembly references causing problems.
- Improved the upgrade tool to also auto-upgrade the project targeting to 4.8.
Visual Studio 2022 community edition is free. It can be installed side-by-side with your existing VS'19 installation if needed. If you already have VS'22 installed, make sure it's updated to at least 17.5.4.

This is a prerelease. Please test it (let me know if you do so I can keep track) and make issues marked VS'22 if problems are found. If you just want to do your job, consider just using the latest release for VS'19 for now... but if you're willing to help me test it would be highly appreciated!
Once this hits public release, the old version for VS'19 will be dropped. I am very sorry for this, but I do not have the capacity to maintain both projects.
NOTE The usual Visual Studio shenanigans apparently is still alive and well.
You might have to clear\rebuild and restart Visual Studio several times before whatever caches it's messing about with gets fixed... You'll get complaints about the analyzer, the MDK.Utilities assemblies, all sorts of BS before it realizes that "hey, everything is actually in order." 🙄
