VM1801.14 system exceptions managing libraries and boards

I have been using Visual Micro 1711.19 with VS2015 and Arduino 1.8.5. I also have the ESP8266 2.4.0 board installed.

This morning I upgraded VM to 1801.14.

After upgrading Visual Micro wouldn't see any boards. When I go into the Visual Micro Explorer I get errors loading package index files. It happens when I go to both manage boards and manage libraries.

When I change the IDE from Arduino 1.6/1.9 to Visual Micro I get similar errors.

I have tried reinstalling Visual Micro. Removing the ESP8266 folder in appdata\local\arduino15. Reinstalling the Arduino IDE and moving my custom libraries.

If I uninstall the 1801 extension and rename the pkgdef.deleteme  and vsixmanifst.deleteme files in the old extension folder the previous version works just fine

I've attached screenshots of the errors.

Thanks,
Alan
