The solution I am working on includes a Wix install project called Setup. It seems that BCM crashes Visual Studio 2015 when it attempts to load this project. If I debug the VS process I get this info:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I'm not familiar enough to be able to provide more info on the specific error.

There is a workaround: Unload the affected project before opening the BCM Window.

Also, the documentation could be clearer on where to access the Better Configuration Manager Window, I was expecting it to appear in the Tools menu or to replace the regular configuration manager. It is not very clear that I have to find it in View -> Other Windows -> Better Configuration Manager.

Update on this: I found out what the problem is but cannot fix it yet.
I created a issue wixtoolset/issues#5323 to get some more information.

Sorry, I didn't see any notification about the @ mention, I guess my email filters are a bit too aggressive. Thanks for the update, and thanks for a great plugin :)
