I'm trying to install Visual COBOL 5.0 for visual studio (visual studio 2019) - but i get the following error, as soon as i create a new project ---   " The "MicroFocus.Cobol.BuildTasks.Cobol" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\MSBuild\\Micro Focus\\Visual COBOL\\v1.0\\MicroFocus.COBOL.BuildTasks.dll. Method 'get_SourceFileExtension' in type 'MicroFocus.COBOL.BuildTasks.CreateCobolManifestResourceName' from assembly 'MicroFocus.COBOL.BuildTasks, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0412c5e0b2aaa8f0' does not have an implementation. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask." --- i've tried to uninstall both software afresh again but still get the same error. Kindly help
