I have encountered the following error:
The 'XamarinShellPackage' package did not load correctly.
It happens when i start Visual Studio 2015 Community Update 3 Or Visual studio 15 Preview 4.
I even reinstalled windows 10 and it doesn't help.
As asked, pasting VS info:

Xamarin.Android 6.1.1.1 (7db2aac)
Xamarin.iOS 9.8.1.4 (3cf8aae)
The tooling in the version information here is a little out of date. The solution in this case was to perform a thorough uninstall of Xamarin in Windows and reinstall using the latest available Stable release. I linked #Dorad to the direct download, but you can find this by signing into Xamarin.com, navigating to the Downloads page and selecting the download from the relevant drop-down list for your OS / desired Xamarin platform:
Another quick thing people can try that worked for me was deleting the .vs folder from the root of the solution folder. Make sure VS is closed when you do it.
There is a potential workaround you may want to try while we finish up a fix for this.
Please, close all open VS instance and copy this file (note you may need to adjust the path to your specific VS instance):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib\netstandard.dll"
to the Xamarin extension folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarin.VisualStudio
And then open VS and check if you can still repro.
thanks,
I had the same problem after the latest VS2017 update..I resolved uninstalling an extension (Visual Studio Bitbucket plugin) which - apparently - was in conflict with XamarinShellPackage. Removing the extension and restarting VS did the trick for me.

I installed Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (version 14.0.23104.0 D14REL) with tools for building Universal Windows Apps. Every time I create or load a Windows Universal project (unit test, class library), I get the following error:
The download link unhelpfully goes to microsoft.com and I can't find a "framework SDK" download for .NET Core anywhere.
I tried installing the CoreCLR runtime using the DNX tool, but that didn't change anything.
What am I missing?
I had the same issue and I noticed that the v5.0 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETCore" was missing. This issue only arose after I installed the vs2017 and uninstalled it (meaning it removed the v5.0 folder during the uninstall process). I tried everything from repairing to uninstalling/reinstalling vs2015 but none recreated that folder.
Here is my v5.0 zip try placing it in the above mentioned path (never tried it myself, i just reinstalled vs2017)

Download and run the Windows 10 VS Tools Installer for Vs2015 Enterprise and select the Windows 10 Development tools. This reinstalls everything relates to Windows 10 development.
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.

How to create PCL wp7/win8 in visual studio 2013?
I have already installed windows phone 7 sdk and windows phone 8 sdk, but it does not help.
There is no option for wp 7.1.
Visual Studio does not support Windows Phone 7 development.
This may change in the future but, based on what has happened with previous versions of Visual Studio and separate SDKs, I suspect that is unlikely.
It's only possible to target PCL projects for SDKs that are installed.
You could build your PCL in VS2012 and consume it in a VS2103 project though.
On the other (/plus?) side, there are free versions of VS2012 and VS2013 and the can be installed side by side so you'll be able to build for WP7 for plenty of time to come.
Visual Studio 2013 has removed support for Windows Phone 7.x, Silverlight 4 and Xbox development.
For the entire list of compatibility between Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh266747(v=vs.120).aspx.
Keep in mind that VS 2013 is still a preview. So maybe it will be available later but for the moment it looks like you can only create a PCL project with support for both Windows Phone 7 and Windows Store apps by using Visual Studio 2012
There is a solution according to

...was wondering why Visual Studio would upgrade the project while the
profile was there on disk. While digging through the xml files for
Profile104 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference
Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable\v4.0\Profile\Profile104),
which is the profile I was using, I found some xml files in the
SupportedFrameworks subfolder. These xml files defined a
MinimumVisualStudioVersion and a MaximumVisualStudioVersion. For
Profile104, one of the files contained MaximumVisualStudioVersion="11"
which means Visual Studio 2012. Changing all xml files for the profile
to have MaximumVisualStudioVersion="12", which means Visual Studio
2013, made my scenario work after a restart of Visual Studio. I can
now open the PCL in Visual Studio 2013 without it being upgraded. Make
sure you restart VS after this change to make it work.
I installed Vs 2010 Express in my PC, and created a poject named myproject with .net 4.0, it works well in Vs 2010 Express.
Now I installed Vs 2012 Express in my PC, and open the project myproject and upgrade it to .net 4.5, it wells well in Vs 2012 Express too.
I delete the project myproject all files, then restore it from my old backup file, when I try to open the project from Vs 2010 Express, I get the following information.
"This project is incompatible with the current version of visual studio", why?
How can I open the project in Vs 2010 Express? I guess the Vs 2012 Express maybe mark the project as .net 4.5 and stored the information in the somewhere of hard drive. Although I restore the project myproject from old backup file, Vs 2010 Express still think it is a project of .net 4.5.
Thanks!
If the message "This project is incompatible with the current version of Visual Studio" is due to an attempt to open a project targeting .Net 4.5 with Visual Studio 2010, then the "solution" or workaround is to edit the .csproj file and change the TargetFrameworkVersion from "v4.5" to "v4.0". That at least allows the project to be loaded, although it may result in compiler errors if the program is dependent on 4.5 features.
I know this is a little old, but just in case the above solutions don't work: don't be an idiot like me and try to open an MVC project using "VS for Desktop" instead of "VS for Web" (or vice-versa), since it will give you the incompatible message.
I use TFS at my job and I tried to open a MVC project via the TFS Solution Explorer. I wasn't paying attention to which Visual Studio version I had open and since both IDE's look alike, I was confused at what was going on - a common mistake, I'm sure =P
If you are getting the same error for a project which is actually an extension (.vsix), please install Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 SDK
Installing KB2781514 - Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 solved the problem for me.
Check the directory that contains the solution file for an UpgradeLog.htm file. It will probably show what's wrong. In my case I tried to open an ASP.NET project, but the Web Developer Tools were not installed.
The Web Developer Tools can be installed afterwards by going to the Control Panel and to modify your existing Visual Studio installation. After adding Web Developer Tools the project opened without issues.
In my case the problem was the Component Model Cache (Visual Studio for C++).
in VS2013 it is located in
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache
in VS2015 in
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
Rename this folder and restart visual studio.
I received this error because during the BizTalk install I did not check the Developer Tools and SDK checkbox. I went back and modified my installation and that error went away for me now.
Trying to load a BizTalk Project in VS2012 without BizTalk installed on your developer machine, will result in this error and the projects will load. This should be the first thing you check.
Make sure that all your extensions are same as in previous version. For me, when I upgraded from old PC to New PC, I didn't downloaded correct extensions hence resulting in above issue.
I faced out with this problem, the solution was:
Open VS2017
Go to Tools
Go to Extensions and updates
Search for Reporting Services Project and then "Enable"; close your VS.
Open again your project/solution.

I have installed full version licensed Visual Studio 2010 Professional, .Net 4.0 on my system. Now I am trying to install Active Reports 6 on it and facing the error "no compatible version of visual studio net found on system". My Active Reports build is 6.0.1.1797.0.
So, do I need to install framework 3.5 before installing? I have not installed Service Pack for visual Studio for now.
Thanks.
Active reports 6.0.1797.0 does not support Visual Studio 2010. Active reorts 6.1.2577 or later supports Visual Studio 2010. And any how, Express edition of visual studio does not support active reports.
So my solution, enhances...I installed the later versions...but unfortunately I am getting some errors in my application because of Active reports version change as my application was made in previous version of Active Reports. So, what I did is, installed the latest version, uninstalled it and again installed 6.0.1797.0 version, and it was installed successfully and my application was also working fine.
#rapsalands...You are correct in understanding that support for Visual Studio 2010 started only after build 6.1.2577.0 was released. Also express edition of Visual Studio is not supported. The first thing to note here is that whenever you install/uninstall ActiveReports 6 from your machine, there should be no running instance of Visual Studio as it affects proper integration of ActiveReports with itself.
Also the errors which you were getting are more likely appearing because of the incorrect references in your project. Whenever you open an existing project after upgrading ActiveReports build, you should remove all the ActiveReports references from the project, re-add them (making sure they point to the version currently installed) and finally rebuild your project.
I think you can also check the blogs for ActiveReports as you might find some useful information about different topics there.
