Notes:this occur when uninstall VS 2017 RC and Install VS 2017.
According to this thread, you should first execute "InstallCleanup.exe -full" command, and then run the Visual Studio Installer to repair your VS installation.

To clean up and delete Preview, RC and final releases of Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015, as well as early previews of Visual Studio 2017, you can have a try with the VisualStudioUninstall tool: https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller
Whenever I try to create a new project in VS 2010 I get the error:
New project/item dialog could not be initialized due to error:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dialogs.DialogInitializationException' was thrown.
And when try to open existing project visual studio 2010 restarts.
I had the same problem on my computer. After a long time searching I solved it by the following steps:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE" (or whatever is your VS installation directory)
Run command devenv.exe /resetuserdata and wait until finished
Run Visual Studio
I can't find the former case. As you met an exception
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dialogs.DialogInitializationException
I am suggesting you try the way below:
Run devenv /resetuserdata.
Delete the file:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
and restart Visual Studio.
Close all VS instances and try the solution mentioned here:
Launch Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 as Administrator
Go to VS 2017 installation folder, for example: pushd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise
gacutil -if Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll
Open your control panel
Change
Regional -> Formats tab -> Format: English(United States)
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/727578/vs-do-not-work-with-finnish-number-format-on-w8-64-bit
It works for me :)
This problem can cause when you install an older version of Visual Studio nearby the current version. For example VS 2017 is installed on your system and you do force install of VS 2008.
I faced this problem many years ago by installing VS 2008 after VS 2010;
and today again I had this problem. Because I installed SolidWorks 2015 after VS 2017. SolidWorks had a Visual Studio 2008 inside its package that interferes my installation.
Just uninstalled VS 2008 and I'm done.
I found this to still be an issue in Visual Studio Community 2017, Microsoft released a work around that fixed my problem:
The work-around for this issue would be:
-Launch “Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017” as Administrator
-Go to VS 2017 installation folder, for example: pushd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise
-gacutil -if Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll
I installed InstallShield 2012 Premier and try to create Basic MSI project in VS2010 (Premium). But I cannot create project since I get the error:
The 'InstallShield 2012 Package' package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another >extension. You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter >on the command line, and then examining the file 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
If I follow the instruction in ActivityLog.xml I see the next error:
LoadLibrary failed for package [InstallShield 2012 Package]
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2012\System\IsDevPkg.dll
I've tried devenv.exe /resetskippkgs and reinstallation of Visual Studio and InstallShield, but it was not helpful.
Perhaps I don't have some pererequisites installed?
Thanks,
Elena
Update: installation InstallShield 2012 Spring solved the problem. It seems like in newer version IS this bag has been fixed.
