windowFrame errors #3262
Description
Bug description / exact reproduction steps
I am getting errors about some windowFrame when I try to reverse a couple of tables.
In legacy reverse engineer, when clicking Next in the screen with the paths of settings, VS indicates there's an exception and in the Exceptions output window. It has this:
System.ArgumentException: windowFrame
at IVsTextView Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.VsShellUtilities.GetTextView(IVsWindowFrame windowFrame)
at async Task Community.VisualStudio.Toolkit.Documents.OpenInPreviewTabAsync(string file)
at async Task EFCorePowerTools.Handlers.ReverseEngineer.ReverseEngineerHandler.GenerateFilesAsync(Project project, ReverseEngineerOptions options, string missingProviderPackage, bool onlyGenerate, List packages)
at async Task EFCorePowerTools.Handlers.ReverseEngineer.ReverseEngineerHandler.ReverseEngineerCodeFirstAsync(Project project, string optionsPath, bool onlyGenerate, bool fromSqlProj, string uiHint)
In the other reverse engineer, after clicking next I get this window
Is this error logged somewhere?
Version: 2.6.1248 IN VS 2026 18.1.1
I restarted VS and still same error.
