Task 'GenerateAppxPackageRecipe' failed. The specified module could not be found - windows

I am trying to run a UWP project in Visual Studio 2017 and keep encountering this error.
This error occurs with a new Blank UWP project as well.
I have tried using the same vsconfig as my colleague and even a full uninstall and reinstall of Visual Studio 2017 with no success. I am wondering if I might be missing a windows DLL as it is a Win32 error.

Error with mscoree.dll when executing Visual Studio

For a few days now, whenever I try to start Visual Studio 2017 I get an error that says that an specified procedure couldnt be found
I have tried the .NET Framework repair form Microsoft and it couldn't find the problem, I have also tried uninstalling and installing Visual Studio 2017 but the installation also throws the error (though it finishes and I can try to open Visual Studio again).
I have tried the .NET Framework installers but they say the framework is already installed so it won't do anything, and I can't find any way to uninstall .NET Framework in Windows 10.
I searched through Google for some versions of the DLL and putting it in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 folder but none have changed anything.

Visual Studio 2015 is unable to create a new Xamarin.Forms solution

After running into various stability problems with Xamarin in Visual Studio, I was recently forced to reinstall both Windows 10 and Visual Studio. In other words, my newly installed development environment is 100% clean and includes the latest updates to Windows 10 and the complete installation of Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. It also has the latest version of Xamarin for Visual Studio.
I was expecting that this would solve all my Xamarin problems, but it didn't.
Now, when I attempt to create a new Xamarin.Forms solution (Shared or PCL) it encounters this problem creating the Android project ...
... and this error creating all the other projects:
if I then try opening Package Manage Console, it fails to initialize with the following error:
The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState' threw an exception.
Closing and re-opening Visual Studio allows Package Manage Console to initialize correctly, but then re-trying to create a Xamarin.Forms solution results in Visual Studio crashing while attempting to create the Android project:
Whilst I have never been impressed with the stability of Xamarin tooling, this is beyond a joke. I've already wasted 2 full days getting back to a completely clean Visual Studio environment and it still doesn't work.
Any ideas what I can do next? Thanks, in advance.

SSIS - debugging not working

Recently started using Visual Studio 2012, converting SSIS packages from 2008, and seem to be unable to set breakpoints in Script Tasks. The error we're receiving says
Cannot start debugging. Pre-debugging negotiations with Host failed.
Cannot seem to find any information about this error, or what's causing it. There is also a brief flash of a dialog box that says
Visual Studio has encountered an unexpected error
but that disappears quickly.
This issue has been resolved. The input parameters were set incorrect and hence was failing. It has been fixed now
I think you install new version of Visual Studio you just have to uninstall the Visual Studio tools for Application for the new version then repair the Visual Studio tool for Application 2012 and every thinks will be good

.csproj file unsupported in Visual Studio 2013

So I'm trying to do what I think is a very simple thing: generate a Windows Phone app with PhoneGap and open it in Visual Studio. On a totally fresh Windows installation (via Bootcamp), I've:
Downloaded Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (the very first download button: http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk)
Created a PhoneGap Windows Phone app per the Getting Started guide.
However, every time I try to open the csproj file, I keep getting this error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.sln"
No matter what I do. It works totally fine on Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone. I've tried it on VS 2013 for Desktop, and that doesn't work either. No clue what is happening here, and don't know even where to start to figure out what's wrong. I've Googled extensively to no avail; basically all instances of this error seem to have to do with previous version of VS. Pointing in any direction would be very much appreciated.
Turns out Update 2 wasn't getting installed correctly. I ended up installing Visual Studio and the Update 2 separately and Update 2 got installed successfully. Everything works now.
To build Multi device hybrid (Cordova tooling) apps with Visual Studio, you need to have Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 - Professional, Ultimate, or Premium.

Visual Studio error

I'm getting the following error in Visual Studio 2008:
Unable to create the component used to
generate ASP.NET Intellisense
information. This can occur if Visual
Studio or the .NET Framework is not
installed correctly.
I've re-installed all versions of the .Net framework, run devenv /resetuserdata like suggested online, and did a repair install of Visual Studio. However, I still get the same error.
I can click past this message, but get subsequent errors about package loading errors. Then the project won't build when it build just fine days ago. Does anyone know how to correct this?
about 4-5 months before i was also getting this error, but i resolved that by unistalling each and every component of Visual studio and Sql server and then again installing it....
I still don't know y this error had come.
