I have also suffered through the same problem of frequent Visual Studio 2012 crashes after installing CodeXL ( to be specific normal installation i.e with Visual Studio 2012 CodeXL extension, otherwise we can also perform custom installation and avoid the further problems by using the external CodeXL GUI and KernelAnalyzer2 for profiling and debugging rather than through Visual Studio 2012 ) and these are the following points I observed :
-- Somehow the Visual Studio 2012 CodeXL extension corrupts some DLL files -> Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation.dll (one that i found) or its corresponding register entries.
-- And after turning the auto-indentation feature off of the Visual Studio the problem no longer persists .
This may not the best solution for this problem , but i thought to share what i observe so that this bug could be fixed in the implementation specific files of CodeXL/ Visual Studio 2012 itself and the Visual Studio 2012 CodeXL extension can be used in a better way.
Thank you.
