Exception 00x8007000B VS2013 - visual-studio-2013

I really need some help to start Microsoft Visual Studio 2013. I didn't find any solution after searching the internet for this problem. The error appeared using VS2012 and the problem persisted when I moved to VS2013.
This is the first error I get in the activityLog.xml
SetSite failed for package [Microsoft Visual Studio Server Explorer

When saving file that is monitored by TFS getting error: Cannot be saved because write-protected

When I open the visual studio (2010 - professional), i am getting the following error:
"The associated source control plug in is not installed or could not be initialized vs 2010"
I tried all the recommended solutions here: [TFS Error: "Source Control - Unable to Access Database" But nothing worked.
Is it possible that i have some problem with my VS? Maybe i am missing a Service Pack?
Check that the following are installed on your computer:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Team Foundation Server Compatibility GDR https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29082
Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (KB2736182) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34677
I was missing (2) and (3), after their installation I didn't get the error "The associated source control plug in is not installed or could not be initialized vs 2010" anymore upon opening the visual studio, and was able to save the modified files as usual.
Tip: check the solution on another machine.
If it opens without any errors then the solution above probably will work for you.

Visual Studio Express 2015

I recently signed up for a programming class which we need to download Visual Studio Express.
After downloading I am getting some errors.
Microsoft Visual Studio connected services package failed
Microsoft Azurage Storage connected services package failed
Every time I open up Visual Studio and try to start a new project with visual basic it automatically fails on me and tells me there was a problem and the program restarts.
How can I fix this problem?
Error message I am getting:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 community edition installation errors

I'm trying to install visual studio 2015 and it's coming back with these errors:
Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2015 -> Fatal Error
Microsoft NuGet - Visual Studio 2015 -> Package Failed
Microsoft Visual Studio Connected Services -> Packages Failed
Azure AD Authentication Connected Services -> Packages Failed
Microsoft Azure Mobile Services Connected Service -> Package Failed
Microsoft Azure Storeage Connected Service -> Packages Failed
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Office365 -> Package Failed
I've googled this and seen that this is already a question here with a solution,
Multiple Errors Installing Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. I'm only asking another question because I couldn't post mine on the original one.
The soultion states that the c++ redistributable must be repaired because they are getting the 64 and 32 bit dlls mixed up. So I repaired them but it still installs the dlls to the wrong folder and I thought that maybe if I move them myself that would do the trick, but the visual studio installer seems to install them again anyway undoing my changes.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to make on how to get around this problem?
Working!
I 've tried all the workarounds without success and what finally do the trick was to uninstall all visual studios and all Microsoft Visual C++ XXX Redistributable x86 and x64 versions.
Then, run the Visual Stuido installer again.
Hope it helps!

How do I get WiX 3.6 to work with Visual Studio 2013?

I would like to use WiX 3.6 in my Visual Studio 2013 project. I use the same computer to compile other projects which the company says must use Wix 3.6 so I don't have the option of upgrading Wix.
I have a Wix project that works under Visual Studio 2008. I've searched for ways to get Visual Studio 2013 to recognize it, but with no luck.
EDIT 2014-07-11
I had looked at the suggested link prior to posting my question, but Visual Studio 2008 does not have the same format of support for extensions that VS2013 has. So I can't just copy file per the link.
I have VS2010 setup on another machine and copied the extension files from there. I then followed instructions in the link. Though, VS2013 now says WIX is an available project type, it fails when I try to create a new WIX project, nor will it recognize my existing WIX project.
I opened the activity log. There was a warning and two errors...
(warning)Performance warning: String load failed. Pkg:{E0EE8E7D-F498-459E-9E90-2B3D73124AD5} (WiX Project Package) LANG:0409 ID:100

Sharepoint 2010 Projects not showing in Visual Studio 2010

I have installed sharepoint 2010 and the sdk, yet I cannot see / open sharepoint projects in Visual Studio. When I go to new >> Project, sharepoint is not anywhere in the options.
If I try and open an event receiver project, I get this project type is not supported in this installation.
I have tried reinstalling the Sharepoint 2010 SDK, and repairing VS 2010 Premium.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get this to work?
I'm running VS 2010 Professional and when I ran VS 2010 SP1 it crashed during installation. After that I got the same error message when I opened a solution containing Sharepoint 2010 projects. I tried the following but it didn't solve it:
- Running VS 2010 repair
- Reinstalling VS2010 SP1
- Reinstalling .Net framework 4.0
Same error...
Finally I ran VS2010 setup, 'add remove features', and noticed that the 'Sharepoint Developer Tools' was not included anymore. I added it and now it works!
This was resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling VS 2010 premium. Go Figure!
