Description
I am attempting to follow the tutorial, but when I got to this point:
>MakeConst.Vsix, which is the default startup project that starts a second instance of Visual Studio that has loaded your new analyzer. Press F5 to start the VSIX project.
I receive a NullReferenceException when it tries to start up the experimental instance of VS2019, with the following stack trace:
`at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.EngineSettings.get_UserSettingsStore()`
I attempted to reproduce it to get more exception details, and now the issue is gone. So apparently this is a first time issue only?
Not sure if this should be filed under [dotnet/roslyn-sdk](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-sdk/issues)?
Happening with Visual Studio 2019 Community.
`v16.10.1`
