Executor 'executor://cppunittestexecutor/v1' not found

[primalspacesystems]

Description

This seems to be most appropriate repo that I can find, but please correct me if there's a better place.

I have C++ unit tests setup using the following framework: Microsoft::VisualStudio::CppUnitTestFramework

This has been working for about 8 years, but trying to run the tests after updating to 17.11.2 results in the warning below, and no tests are run.

Could not find test executor with URI 'executor://cppunittestexecutor/v1'. Make sure that the test executor is installed and supports .net runtime version .

My Bing skills can't seem to locate what I need to install or where, or if I need to update the path or not.

Steps to reproduce

Set up a test using this macro:

#define TEST_METHOD_CATEGORY( test_name, category_name )
BEGIN_TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE( test_name )
TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE( L"Category", L#category_name )
TEST_PRIORITY( 0 )
END_TEST_METHOD_ATTRIBUTE()
TEST_METHOD( test_name )

And this code:
TEST_METHOD_CATEGORY( BitArrayTests, "BitReader" )
{
Assert::IsTrue( false );
}

Expected behavior

The test runs and fails.

Actual behavior

All the tests (713) are detected and displayed in the Test Explorer, however, they will not run.

Diagnostic logs

Could not find test executor with URI 'executor://cppunittestexecutor/v1'. Make sure that the test executor is installed and supports .net runtime version .

Similar error message on 17.11.5 but with testadapterforgoogletest
It has been working for a long time for my repro called "A", and last week modified VS install (did not update, only added other frameworks and extensions) to build Unreal code in another repro called "B". Since then GTA on VS does not work anymore.
Other machine where I did the same changes, GTA continues working for repro "A" interestingly. Already tried many combinations of .NET, cleaning MFE cache, install/uninstall etc with no joy.
