Issue description

When I tried to run code metrics in Visual Studio 2013 for c# project (Analyze -> Calculate Code Metrics for Solution) I get following error:

"an error occurred while calculating code metrics"

This error occurred even for the newly created project, so it was not related with some reference issues.

Solution

To solve this issue I've executed following command as an Administrator:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSEnv\VsLangproj.olb"

Conclusion

  • I've verified that this issue is not occurring on newly installed VS 2013 (installer with update 4 included), which means that this could be related with updating to "update 4".

Removing those reference enabled the Code Matrices functionalities to be working again.
