Error Opening Razor Source File

Question

I'm opening a .vbhtml razor file and I'm getting the following error.

The operation could not be completed. Invalid pointer.

This happens any time I open any .vbhtml razor file. It worked yesterday but not working today. I repaired the install and reset all my visual studio settings to the default. I can right click on the file and open it with the Source Code (Text) Editor however I get no intellisense. The default HTML editor is the one throwing the error. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?

I have since discovered that this is related to Update 1 released just in the past week.

The problem is in Update 1. I ran the uninstall from the command line using "VS2015.1.exe /Uninstall" and that solved the problem. The uninstall took 2 hours on my computer so be patient.
