Fix “MSB0001: Internal MSBuild Error: Throwing from logger shutdown”

After updating Visual Studio 2017 (15.5) to 2017 (15.8) I was not able to open any of my projects. It would just say “Unable to open one or more project, see the output window” and there was nothing in the output window.

I opened one project separately and it said:

MSB0001: Internal MSBuild Error: Throwing from logger shutdown

To fix it you need to open “Developer Command Prompt For VS 2017” as Administrator and run the following command:

gacutil /u Microsoft.Build.Framework
