Please help with installation update problem

I've developed an Arduino app using VS2019 and vMicro on my laptop 9 months ago.  I just went back to this and now have spent quite a few hours trying to fix an apparently mangled install.  After trying many things and uninstalling / reinstalling both Arduino IDE and vMicro, I cannot build the previous project/sketch that I had been working on in vMicro.  I can build it in Arduino 2.3.6 IDE. I created a new Arduino project, added two lines of code and attempted to build, but get the error "cannot open.. arduino.h". I look at 'Configure IDE Location and it shows Arduino 1.6/1.8 selected. I had uninstalled Arduino entirely and installed 2.3.6. I changed the dropdown to point to Arduino 2 and select Rescan Toolchain. I get the error 'object reference not set.. Ide=Arduino 2', and the IDE selection has been set back to 1.6/1.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the build log

Thanks for the report.

Can you enable vMicro > Compiler > Verbose and re-attach the build log?

Also can you attach an image of the IDE Locations Screen with the Arduino 2 option selected in the drop down?

Thanks for the details, would it be possible to email us the "test" project as a ZIP (delete the *.vs folder before compressing)?

To rollback you will need to Uninstall Visual Micro: 
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Uninstalling-Visual-Micro.aspx

Then download the previous release from our Downloads Page, and install that using the Visual Studio Version Selector (noted at the bottom of the Downloads Page):
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-Visual-Studio-Downloads.aspx

If you have any issues downgrading let us know which version is currently shown in Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed for Visual Micro.

Attached is the test project. There was no .vs folder to delete.

I will follow the rollback directions a bit later today.

Thanks for the files and assistance with this.

if you install the latest version (25.0606.07) from the top of the below board this will resolve the issue:
