So....I've spent the whole day trying to get vs to work!!
Whenever I try to create new project or save any file I get unexplained error message telling me to find details in
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ActivityLog.xml
And here is what I got there:
I use vs community edition and I have tried the following:
Repairing visual studio...[no luck]
Uninstall community edition and Install Express edition....[no luck]
Uninstall express and then install community edition again....[no luck]
And the error persists in all above attempts....
Any idea will be greatly appreciated..
Update:
when I try to save any file I got also the following error in that xml file:
The color 'Popup' in category 'de7b1121-99a4-4708-aedf-15f40c9b332f' does not exist.

I have been trying to install Visual Studio for a couple of days now and none have operated. First I tried Visual Studio Community 2017 and the installer was installed and then the vs was installed but when I try and run it I got an error message that directed me to the ActivityLog file. I've tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it but that didn't work. I came across a solution that required me to try opening it using the Developer Command Prompt which I wanted to do but when I clicked on it from the Start menu it said that the link is missing. There was another Visual Studio program that had also installed and when I tried loading that one, it also directed me an ActivityLog file.
So I uninstalled the 2017 version and tried installing an earlier version hoping that it would work. I can reinstall for whomsoever would want to see the error message as well as the log file.
I then tried the 2013 version (since that is the one we use at school anyway). After downloading the file, I do not even get to an installation screen. A pop-up appears that says that the program requires the Microsoft .NET framework to work
Installation pop up window
The first time I tried it gave me options to accept and continue or cancel so I clicked on accept and continue and that was the end of it. Nothing happened after that. Now when I click on the installation file it just appears as in the picture above with no options. I tried to follow the instructions on Cannot install Visual Studio 2017 Community since that is the closet to my problem that I have found but it still didn't work.
Please help. I really need at least one Visual Basic to work.
I have recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on my laptop.
Since the time of installation I have been facing a few issues.
I was not able to even access the New Project option itself.
Some of the times I will be able to access it however, sometimes it does not even allow me to access a single file of my solution in the startup itself it gives me an error.
I have attached a set of five screenshots in this query. There is some blank space after users path, I removed an extra folder name(username) from the path so dont get confused with that.
The detail of all the screenshots are as follows:
1) This is the image I get when I launch the Visual Studio on my laptop.
2) Once I click 'NO' option on the first dialog box I get a new one stating an error with the source code.
3) Once that is done, I move onto Solution Explorer to access the solution and I get this log.
4) When I try to access the tools tab to check for options I get this error message.
5) I had even tried to create a new project and the following error provided in this screenshot would appear.
I am not able to understand where I could have gone wrong or what happened that has corrupted the application to this extent. Is it an installation issue or are there some bugs in this version of Visual Studio, if there are any I would be more than happy to move to previous versions as I was a lot happier with them than this one.
If someone would help on this concern I would be really thankful.

Harrisson
First, I went ahead and uninstalled the current version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 from my system. Then, I searched and removed the data from the temporary files related to MS VS 2015 from the following paths:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Once this had been done, I went ahead and installed Visual Studio 2015. After installation, I installed the additional support directories for Visual C++. You can do the same for the platform you wish to work on.
Then I installed updates from the following link:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2015-update3-vs
Once I started the solution it worked perfectly fine after that with no errors.
I reinstalled Visual Studio pro 2010 due to an error.
I loaded VS and I now get this error:
The Visual Studio HTM Editor Package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of anothe 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\lee\appdata\roaming\microsoft\visualstudio\10.0\activitylog.xml
Any ideas where to go from here.
I solved this problem by doing following steps,I am using VS Express 2012 and got the same error as mentioned above.
1)Delete(Always do remember to Backup your data) the AppData file from following location(Delete 10.0/11.0 whatever your version of VS)
a)if VS 10
C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
b)if VS Express
C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSWinExpress\11.0
2)Update VS version from this site
MSDN Site
or directly from MSDN siteThis
3)Restart VS and enjoy
A full uninstall of Anything Visual Studio 2010/Express related, followed by a reinstall, it worked.
I have just upgraded from Visual Web Developer Express 2008 to Visual Web Developer Express 2010. However, I can't use it. When I try to create a new project I get a small dialog box that says:
Error writing the project file. Class not registered.
(source: yart.com.au)
I have tried reinstalling and repairing the product to no avail.
The problem was MSXML6 was corrupt.
The answer is here:
http://www.ferolen.com/blog/error-install-ms-sql-server-express-in-windows-xp-sp3-msxml6-sp2/
But then I couldn't uninstall MSXML6 which led me to here:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/microsoft-retires-windows-installer-cleanup-utility and this download page
Then I reinstalled MSXML6 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d21c292c-368b-4ce1-9dab-3e9827b70604&displaylang=en#filelist
and it worked.
Please go through the below site to know about ""Error writing the project file. class not register'"
http://technicalinformations.blogspot.in/2012/12/error-writing-project-file-class-not.html
FYI, after installing MSXML6 and still error happens.
type this in Run Box.
regsvr32 msxml6.dll
The title says everything. I'm using Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition and I just can't open any database project. I get the following error message:
'..' cannot be opened because its
project type (.dbproj) is not
supported by this version of the
application. To open it, please use a
version that supports this type of
project.
Does this ever happen to you?
Thank you
Just found the answer to my problem here. It worked fine, after executing the following command:
devenv /resetskippkgs
May be it'll help someone one day :)
