I have:
Visual Studio professional 2013 Update 3windows 7 pro/64bitinfragistics pro 2014.1 (build 14.1.20141.2108), and many older versions
When i run the visual studio extension (infragistics, check for updates), it gets part way to 'retrieving installed infragistics products', then pauses. The i get Visual Studio 2013 has stopped working.
From event log i found: Infragistics.VSExtension, System.NullReferenceException Infragistics.Wrapper.Interface.Utilities.VersionlessSettings.AreAnyProductsInstalled()
I downloaded the visual studio extension from infragistics and ran a repair. This finished ok but did not seem to help the problem.
Ok running over that with the platform installer now.
What i had done was download the latest VS extension, which is a separate download:
20141.40 dated 4/22/2014
Perhaps if the platform installer has a newer VS extension the separate download for it should be updated too.
Sometimes all these programs get a bit baffling.
I removed VS extension using the control panel.
I ran the platform installer attempting to install the VS extension. I selected it but it quickly failed. Found this in the error log.

Trying more stuff, who knows...
Hi OttawaDeveloper,
I consulted with the developers of the visual studio extension and this seems similar to a bug that we had before in the 14.1 installer. Are you using the latest 14.1 visual studio extension? Try uninstalling the extension and then using the 14.1 platform installer to download the latest extension available and try with that.
If you need the 14.1 update now, you can download it from the My Keys and Downloads page in your account. https://ko.infragistics.com/my-account/keys-and-downloads Just click on your 14.1 license key and below it will appear a list of downloads. Click on Service Release and you will be able to download it from there.
I later removed and re-installed infragistics visual studio extension (Infragistics_VSExtension_20141.msi). Did not help.
I ran Visual studio 2010 and tried the same thing, this also crash in the same way.
