I'm getting this error in VS2013 when loading a project under source control:
Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.HatPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed to load.
HOWEVER, unlike all the other posts about this there is NO config file to delete under
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0
\Cache
The folder is simply empty. I tried repairing the whole installation as well
I had the same issue after I installed Update 4 for VS 2013 (I have Premium edition)
The Team explorer / source control Explorer were drawing blanks.
After a couple of wasted hours (I was avoiding uninstall/re-installing),
I could resolve this issue after I re-installed the Team Explorer for VS 2013. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40776

What to do to solve "The “GetDeploymentPathFromVsixManifest” task failed unexpectedly" when trying to debug a VS extension project??
Same question was already asked multiple times with different source reasons, all for VS2017 usually for upgrading VS extensions from VS2015, and it should have been solved with VS 2019. Yet, it just popped up.
The "GetDeploymentPathFromVsixManifest" task failed unexpectedly.
System.TypeLoadException: Method 'get_JoinableTaskFactory' in type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Sdk.BuildTasks.ExtensionEngineHost' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Sdk.BuildTasks.16.0, Version=16.9.2017.12405, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' does not have an implementation.

I have tried all the solution for the same error found on SO, so far to no avail. I am using VS 2019 Community 16.9.2, updated all packages, downgraded some to try, nothing really changes this error.
This is my first attempt on VSIX and I just downloaded an existing project from github and compiled it.
The github project is working (probably) since the extension is available on the marketplace.
Any other suggestions? Searches on this error in combination with the JoinableTaskFactory dont return exactly many results.
For me the solution was to do at least one of the following steps:
Delete the obj-folder in the project
Execute Reset the Visual Studio 2019 Experimental Instance. You can find this tool when you search it in the windows search bar.
Clean and Rebuild the project
Sometimes it helped if I did only one step and sometimes it only worked after doing all the steps.
I couldn't find out if there is a specific pattern behind, but doing all of the above steps always fixed the error for me.
Another issue where I got the same error was if there was the wrong external program selected under Project Properties -> Debug -> Start external Program. For VS2019 I need to select C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
If I switched between Visual Studio Versions, then sometimes a different Visual Studio version was selected.
Uncheck: "Deploy VSIX content to experimental instance for debugging"
in solution properties->VSIX
Also Update installed NuGet packages.
I'm writing a Visual Studio extension which depends on EntityFramework 5.0.0.0. I included EntityFramework in my project. When I install my extension, my extension's DLL appears in VS extensions folder, and EntityFramework.dll appears with it as well.
However, when I run my Extension in Visual Studio 2013 (update 5), it can't load EntityFramework: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Looking in Process Monitor, I saw that when I run my extension, VS2013 tries to load EntityFramework from a different path, which has it in a different version - 4.2. I'd expect VS2013 to continue to search for EntityFramework, and find it in my extension's folder, like it does for other dlls included in my extension, but it doesn't.
In VS2015, VS does manage to load EntityFramework 5.0.0.0, but it does so also from yet another different path.
Why doesn't VS2013 continue to search for EntityFramework in my extension's folder?
You need to specify a ProvideCodeBase attribute to specify that your extra assemblies should be loaded. "Sometimes" you get lucky and it finds something else, but that's never guaranteed to work. You can see a few examples of that being used here.
I have several projects made in Visual Studio 2010, those projects are ArcGIS Desktop Add-in's. I have been change of computer, and my new one only have Visual Studio 2013 due to some company politics I'm not allowed to install VS2010.
I tried to open this projects in VS2013, and they open with no problem, but when i try to compile it, it get me the following issue:
ESRI.ArcGIS.AddIns.SDK, Version=10.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fc3cc631e44ad86. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
my research so far has get me to install the VS SDK, but I'm not quite sure about which one(2008...2013)
Any one has any possible solution for this?
First, I check that Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0 was in the GAC, It was not there... :( then I proceed as Juho Vainio in Geonet suggest : Visual Studio Command Prompt --> Run as Administrator --> gacutil /i Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0.dll, but it failed because I was not giving the full pat of the dll, so I search for it in the Visual Studio 2008 SDK, and Voila!!! it appear in the GAC
but the project still does not compile, so, I chec in the real GAC:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly
and found that the file does not exist neither in the GAC_32, nor GAC_64 folder, moreover, it exists in the folder GAC_MSIL, so....i took the folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0 and copied it to the folders GAC_32 and GAC_64.
Now the project compiles.
I've uploaded an MVC3 website and I'm getting this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Having seen this before I know that it's an issue where the libraries I need aren't there. I have to bin deploy.
However I can't find the "Add Deployable Assemblies" option when I right click the project.
And according to this answer:
Starting with MVC 3 Tools Update we are now using Nuget package
references, which means that your project is automatically
bin-deployable. Since the tooling gesture is no longer necessary it
was removed from VS 11.
So why hasn't my application been "automatically bin-deployed" if this is the case?
Any suggestions?
Install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack1 and you will get the option.

I'm having all kinds of problems getting Visual Studio 2010 to work with the Windows Phone 7 templates. All I have is a default portrait view added to the project, and the designer gives me the following error:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Phone, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24eec0d8c86cda1e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
followed by a bunch of crap that doesn't seem too helpful. If I rebuild the project and refresh the designer, it momentarily appears correctly (less than a second), and then Visual Studio crashes and tries to restart.
Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
Well, sounds like the install didn't go well. Verify that this reference assembly is located where it is supposed to be, the default install location is c:\program files\reference assemblies\microsoft\framework\silverlight\v4.0\profile\windowsphone. Randomly retrying to reinstall might pay off but do check your machine health first, this doesn't go wrong very often. Ask questions about that at superuser.com
