Everything was going fine but the next day, when I opened the visual studio It showed error as
this error occur at every project files and at the starting.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the VS again but also nothing is improved. when I started my pc in safemode , in that case visual studio runs fine however when I opened in normal mode , It shows the error.
Also using command like devenv or devenv/safemode or devenv/resetsettings pops the same error message.
In my experience and from what I've heard from others, VS2005 has problems on newer OS's and needs to be run in a XP VM for reliable results. Some editions of Win7 have a nice transparent way of doing that for software that doesn't like newer OS's, but the VM component needs to be installed first.
I also recall VS getting fouled and needing to be ripped out and re-installed to work again. In your case, re-installing from original media did not include all the service packs and patches, and it probably only worked at all due to updates and a bit of luck. You might try restoring from a backup rather than re-installing, but it's really a lost cause.

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and noticed that some programs, such as Visual Studio 2010, start a setup when I try to run them and look for their install files. What really makes me wonder though is that this VS2010 setup also starts when I run the VB6 IDE. How can these two be connected?
(I also have VS2008 and VS2013 installed and they don't have these issues.)
Felix,
When I went through this situation, the only way to resolve it was reinstalling VS2010. In my case when I so was using Windows 7
I tried to restore the system, use CCleaner and others, but none succeeded.
Please try reinstalling VS2010! I hope this helps!
I had Productivity Power Tools (PPT) installed on my Visual Studio 2012 for quite some time and everything was working well. Suddenly, it stopped working and I noticed it got disabled under Extensions.
I cannot enable it (the Enable button is grayed out), only uninstall, but even uninstalling it and re-installing it didn't do the trick!
I also installed VS 2013 Community (the new full free version) and installed PPT on it and the situation is exactly the same.
Check it!
Tools - Options - Environment - Extension Manager - Load per user extensions...
Worked for me.
After researching this issue inside out (and vise versa), I have finally found out the reason for the mess described in the question here (at least for my specific case):
It appeared that I had a few versions of Visual Studio installed on my PC, which is obviously a very unhealthy situation to have. In my case, the only symptom for this kind of "sick" diversity that I have noticed was the problem with the extension. And a good thing that happened...
I just uninstalled ALL the versions I had installed on my PC and re-installed only the version (one of them) I wanted to continue working with (in my case, VS2013 Community).
I re-installed all the desired extensions, including of course the Productivity Power Tools, and everything is working just fine.
Of course, rebooting the system between installs wouldn't hurt...
After all, I am talking about a Windows-based PC. ;-)
I'm having trouble installing Visual Studio 2012. When I run the installer I get the message:
Microsoft .NET Framework required for Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 setup
The first time I got this message, I clicked to install. It loaded some stuff but it didn't look like it installed anything. I ran the installer for VS 2012 again and I get the same message but now without any buttons to click on. Is there any solution to this?
What happened before
I had VS 2012 already up and working. I left it alone for quite a while until I decided I wanted to do some programming again. Starting the application resulted suddenly in an error:
Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application.
After searching for a couple of hours I couldn't resolve the problem so I did as it asked and reinstalled VS, but I got the same error again. Then I tried to remove every single application VS installs as indicated by this list and any program that had a similar name. I also removed all .NET versions and C++ redistributables. Now I can't install VS anymore and some games and gadgets are now broken.
And I always, always, always forget the existence of system restore. I doubt my oldest system restore is old enough. This is going to be my last resort.
What I tried
Search for a .NET installation in the control panel, it's not present after clicking the install button on the prompt of the VS 2012 installer.
Reinstall .NET 4.5 using this installer. It installs correctly, but the problem persists.
Turning .NET 3.5.1 off from windows features and install it manually. This fails for an unknown reason (error code -2145124329, which seems undefined). Just turning it off doesn't work either.
Recently, I needed to refresh my Windows 8.1 PC, and now that I have finally finished getting all of my programs reinstalled and everything is back to normal, I am ready to finish work on my Windows 8.1 app, but I am having an issue with compiling my apps. Every time I try to compile, I get the following error.
Now normally when I need to refresh my developer licesnse, Visual Studio tells me, but this time I didn't get any prompt at all, and that is the error that I got when trying to compile. How can I fix this? I am installing updates for Visual STudio at the moment, and I am hoping that doing so will somehow magically fix the problem, but I am also aware that it probably won't.
EDIT: Now that I have updated, the message has been shortened to "Can't resolve Windows.metadata."
For some reason, even though the Windows 8.1 SDK is supposed to be installed with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013, it wasn't for me. I was able to find the Windows 8.1 SDK by Googling it, and it came up as the top result. I installed it, and suddenly all of my errors went away and Visual Studio started recognizing them as legitimate Windows 8.1 app code.
I am getting the following error when trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on my 64bit, Vista computer:
"1305.Error reading from file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Standard Edition -
ENU\SITSetup.dll"
I have successfully used the same DVD's to install Visual Studio on my old XP machine, and I can find the file (SITSetup.dll) on the DVD...and copy it off...so I don't think this is a case of having a bad DVD. At the time the error message pops up, I can see the file on my hard-drive, but it has a 0 size.
I've Googled this problem, and found some ideas, but nothing has worked thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have to confess on this..especially since someone voted for the question.
Everything I said in my original posting about using the disks successfully in the past -was true. However, after innumerable shots at trying to get this install to work, I finally went back and looked at the DVD, and found that either myself, or one of my kids, left traces of food stuck to the underside of the DVD. After cleaning the DVD off, the install worked fine. This is embarrassing.
I assumed the DVD was fine because I had used it before, as well as being able to copy files off it. However, the last time I used it was years ago, and sometime in between then and now...something got on it. I guess the lesson here is never skip the basic checks!
I just installed it yesterday on my Vista box (32-bit, which may be the problem). It seemed to go through fine so I don't know what to tell you other than than when I first launched the app it notified me of "known compatibility issues" and recommended that I install both the SP1 and Vista SP! updates. No further issues past that.
As such, I would suspect either a problem with the 64 bit OS (though Microsoft says it's fine...) or other software on your machine. If you have a virus scanner running, for instance, disable it while installing.
If your Vista machine is a guest running under VMware, try copying the entire DVD to your hard drive and install from there.
I don't know if the same random glitches occur on real machines.
I can confirm that this is a problem for me on Windows 2008 Server while not on XP or Vista (all 32-bit). Not sure why there's any kind of issue here but it seems to be permissions related.
Also tried run as administrator etc but no luck.
