I'm trying to get Visual Studio 2013 running as an administrator, but I'm constantly getting errors. I've searched and tried solutions for other versions of VS, but those fixes didn't apply, so hopefully someone here can help.
When I try to run VS2013 as an admin, I an error saying that the application cannot start.
I saw a few articles talking about copying and registering dte*.olb files, but they were for previous versions of VS. I copied one of the files over and registered it and I can now get past the original error, but I can't compile any application - including any default template workspaces. Before I went too crazy and potentially made things worse, I wanted to ask here.
If I don't get the "application cannot start" message, I get this message when I try to compile anything:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY))
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The problem is that that error code doesn't tell me what library wont load.
The output window says:
Error occurred while restoring NuGet packages: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY))
1>------ Build started: Project: WcfService1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling NuGet with no change in the behavior.
And if I go to the project properties, I can't see the Web, Package/Publish Web, or Code Analysis Tabs.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
This is on Windows 8.1 Pro. My exact VS configuration is below.

And I'll go with the saddest answer of all time: Have you tried a full uninstall, reboot and re-install of Visual Studio?
This will also help if the issue is as a result of an add-in or similar.
I had a lot of issues with a clean install of VS2013 on win7 (projects not loading, crashes etc). A re-install sadly was the only thing that helped. This is poor advice I know but still sometimes one of the best fixes to some VS ills.
[EDIT]
I am no fan of fixing up failed installs unless it breaks the same every time.
Refer Connect Article (For VS2012 but same issue).
This Stack Overflow question may help with the crashes. The question is for VS2008 but it looks identical. Try and reset your fonts as suggested. (I think running Devenv /ResetSettings at a minimum is not a bad idea)
I do recommend to disable Resharper. From time to time I meet a VS solution which I can't open in VS2013 with enabled ReSharper.
Tools->Options->Resharper->Suspend Now
It will be difficult to help without some information such as
- Event log for the error
- Further details of the error message ("Application cannot start" is a bit vague)
Have you rebooted since installing ?
Have you updated via windows update yet ?
Did you install it to its usual path or somewhere else ?
Did you install it as admin or under a user account ?
If its work pc is it installed locally or under a roaming profile ?
No problems on my surface pro or desktop running it as admin or standard user
but it is installed locally and was installed under my developer account but works under all accounts (test ,dev,admin, user etc)
Based on the information provided, I believe there is an issue with Microsoft Office Developer Tools specifically Outlook related.
Fix 1:
Checking your Office directory for msoutl.olb. If it is there, try running 'regtlib msoutl.olb'. You should have regtlib on your machine is part of your Visual Studio install, I believe. Anyway, reregistering the typelib will rewrite all of the necessary keys to the registry. You will need administrative privileges for this operation.
Fix 2:
Try running a program that came with Outlook - C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\Scanpst.exe
For more information please see this site - Click Here
Fix 3:
Try uninstalling Office Developer Tools and see if the problem persists.
Fix 4:
The other possibility is that msoutl.olb itself is corrupt, in which case reinstalling Outlook should fix the problem.
This could be windows 8 acting up. Saying that, insure that your OS is updated, new patches to fix broken stuff should be regular, i suspect a lot of broken things.
Insure that you have the correct .net framework installed and re-install it if necessary. I am not too familiar with Windows 8, i had 3 months of an unpleasant experience with it, but try to see if you can change the compatibility mode by right clicking on the .exe file.
i doubt my response would be any better than others but i felt like contributing and since no one mentioned either checking the .net framework or the compatability..
best of luck!
also i did a small bit of research into TYPE_E_cantloadlibrary and found this link, maybe you should check it out
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ac50fa41-8d47-4fa9-81a3-914f262676af/0x80029c4a-typeecantloadlibrary?forum=vsto
Try this:
right click devenv.exe
troubleshoot compatibility
Troubleshoot program
This program requires addition permission
Next
Test the program
Next
Yes, save these settings for this program.
This will make VS run as administrator from now on.
I ran into the exact same problem. My issue was that the 'Start Page' was fowled up.
I've edited the following:
> Tools > Options > Startup
Choose 'Show empty environment' in the 'At startup' pulldown
This fixed all my problems and can run as Administrator again.

I am testing Free and Open Source Software using Microsoft's Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (and here) to ensure compatibility with the compiler and tools. The 30 day trial has expired, so I need to work from the command line because the IDE exists after telling me the trial has expired:
When I try to run msbuild from the command line, I get a couple of top level errors:

The problems above are due to a down level (Visual Studio 2008) solution and project files.
The official docs are at How to: Upgrade Visual C++ Projects to Visual Studio 2015, but the page does not discuss a solution upgrade from the command line.
According to the VC++ Team Blog at Visual Studio 2010 C++ Project Upgrade Guide, there's a VCUpgrade.exe located in $(VSInstallDir)\common7\Tools. But: "... [VCUpgrade.exe is only] suitable for upgrading applications with only one project as it cannot take in solution file as input and parse solution information into project files."
I also found Upgrading Projects to Visual C++ 2010 at Building Applications that Use the Windows SDK. It tells me to use devenv.exe /upgrade. When I follow its instructions, it results in the following. There were no errors, but nothing was converted (and no log file was created).

Failed to initialize the VCProjectEngine.
How do I convert a solution and project files from an earlier version of Visual Studio to Visual Studio 2015?
There's a few similar questions, but they don't cover the command line with errors like "Failed to initialize the VCProjectEngine" and the [unexplained] expiring trial. See, for example, Upgrade a visual studio solution on the command line with visual studio express.
Humorously (in a morbid sort of way), Microsoft calls Visual Studio 2015 Community a free dev tool, and does not state its an expiring trial at Overview of Visual Studio 2015 Products or Visual Studio Community pages. In fact, Microsoft tells us its fully featured and free for Open Source projects (which this project is).
I guess Microsoft lied and the lawyers buried it in the Terms of Service somewhere. More humorously, neither "trial" nor "expire" are called out or mentioned at the Terms of Service, either. See Microsoft's Visual Studio Community license terms.
Not so humorously, I declined a copy of Visual Studio Professional after reviewing Microsoft's marketing literature because I thought Community edition would meet the project's needs. I hope that does not turn out to be a $500 USD mistake...
It seems the best (and most supported) choice might be to just sign-in with a Microsoft account, so that you can use the free Community Edition license. This will allow you to open the development environment and upgrade the solution using the intended / most-well-tested upgrade process.
This doesn't answer all your questions, as I think the first question needs to be addressed to test and see if you need answers to upgrade your projects.
I have had similar error messages over time with VS. See this answer- Visual Studio 2013 Community weird errors Although this discusses VS2013 the same principles apply.
Visual Studio Community Edition is free.(Much like the express versions MS offers)

I recommend uninstalling VS and any associated dependencies. Download VS2015 CE from one of the links I've provided and reinstall from that exe. Allowing VS to configure the installation and it's dependencies.
For the trial to expire, it makes me think you didn't download the CE. This is why I suggest a fresh download.
Also, if you cannot run VS by opening it's shortcut, you're not going to be able to run it from the command line.
After getting it up and running, then see how your upgrades go. Also, remember if you have any errors about missing dependencies, download them.
Hope this helps some, I saw this was about to expire and you had no answers.
you could upgrade using the devenv.exe command: just invoke it with the “/upgrade” switch. The location of devenv.exe is specified by the DevEnvDir environment variable in the VS 2010 command prompt window.
Command:
a) To upgrade solution file: devenv.exe /upgrade <solution file (.sln)>; or
b) To upgrade project file: devenv.exe /upgrade <project file (.vcproj)>.

Visual Studio 2015 is regularly becoming odd.
Keys typed are appearing in semi-random orders, I'll sometimes have to press keys twice or more.
I think this seems to be around key words, rather than variable names or literals.
After about five minutes I'll get the error dialogue telling me that there was an exception that might be caused by an extension.

Uninstalling NCrunch didn't solve anything
Uninstallong both NCrunch and Resharper 9 seems to have fixed it.
Reinstalling Resharper only seems to be OK.
I have reinstalled NCrunch after
I haven't tried reinstalling NCrunch yet a month and so far everything seems OK.
I've been having this issue just with Resharper (9.1.X).
I referenced this thread in my uninstall. I got an email from support to try some release candidates for 9.2. As long as 9.2 hasn't had an official release, it may be worth your time to try them if you are willing to take on a small risk.
https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/ReSharper/ReSharper+9.2+EAP
I'm starting to try RC3, I'll come back to edit in my experience later. I figure it's probably better to get a possible solution up sooner rather than later, no matter what my experience with it dictates.
They just released Resharper 9.2. I'd see if installing that fixes the issue.
Alternatively, this answer helped solve the problem for me personally in case the new version doesn't solve the issues.
potential problem - NCrunch extension has some issues currently sometimes in VS 2015. It is not currently behaving properly for .NET 4.6 according to this blog: http://blog.ncrunch.net/post/License-Server-Introduced!-NCrunch-216-now-available.aspx
I am trying to install VS2013 update 5 but it will not install as it says it is blocked and I must "uninstall the older version of Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova (Multi Device Hybrid Apps) through Control Panel...".
I have uninstalled this as requested (though the new version - 14.0.50619.1 - that installs with VS2015 is still installed) but it still will not let me install and keeps repeating the message.

Can you try this -
Open RegEdit, find this key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\JavaScriptLanguageService
Delete the MDD-specific value: “ReferenceGroups_MDD”.
Do not delete the “ReferenceGroups” value, or you may mess up your JSLS intelli-sense for non-MDD scenarios.
Deleting that ReferenceGroups_MDD value under the JSLS key should unblock the installation of any installers that are blocking because they (incorrectly) think that you still have the VS2013 Tools for Apache Cordova installed.
Note: If you upgrade to Update5, you will lose the ability to work with MDD projects until we release the next version of our tools that work on top of update5. We are in process of validating our next release for Update5 and will release it soon.
I am sorry that the uninstall of our tools (for Apache Cordova) is not working for you.
The command to uninstall a previous version of the tools has 2 different GUIDS in it.
"%ProgramData%\Package Cache\{f2f851cc-42a1-41f2-a2cd-a0e4627a60cb}\vs2013mda_0.1.exe" /uninstall /passive /force/burn.ignoredependencies={53d408db-eb91-43fb-9d8f-167681c19763};vsupdate_KB2829760
The first is the GUID of the Cordova package that you have installed on your machine that you want to uninstall. You can find the correct GUID to use by searching under %ProgramData%\Package Cache for vs2013mda_0.1.exe and find the GUID of the folder where it resides. Substitute the GUID you find on your machine for the first GUID in the command line script.
The second GUID in the command is the GUID of the package that is blocking the uninstall. There are a number of packages that will block the uninstall, and we have included a command for all of them but perhaps not with the right combination of MDD GUID that you have on your machine.
Here is a guide to which GUID you should use in the 2nd part of the command:
If you have VS 2013 Update 4 installed on your machine:
{53d408db-eb91-43fb-9d8f-167681c19763}
If you have VS 2013 Update 5 CTP1 installed on your machine:
{ee836379-0143-481a-97c9-d577d049e22a}
If you have VS 2013 Update 5 CTP2 installed on your machine:
{cf552a8c-484b-4e33-afe7-c81dfadb0cfc}
If none of these work for you still, you can find the correct GUID to use by looking in the uninstall log for the MDD tools. When you attempt to uninstall MDD tools via Add Remove Programs, it will create a log file in %Temp% called dd_mda_tools_YYYYMMDDNNNN.log. In that uninstall log there will be a line that looks something like this:
Detected related bundle: {53d408db-eb91-43fb-9d8f-167681c19763}, type: Dependent.
Chances are the GUID for the related bundle in your file will be different from the ones we have covered in the pre-constructed commands. You can substitute the dependent GUID that you find in your uninstall log for the GUID in the 2nd part of the command.
Let me know if this works or not.
I recently upgraded from VS 2010 to VS 2013 for a new project. I'm finding that when right-clicking on a folder (but not an individual file) in my Web Application project, it takes about 2 seconds for the context-menu to load. The other dozen or so non-web projects in the solution do not have this performance problem. Additionally, within that slow context menu, if I click on the Add-> item to bring up the sub-menu to add a new view/class/whatever, that menu takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds appear. If from there I think choose something like "New Scaffolding Item", that dialog can take about 30 seconds to appear.
Others on my project do not seem to be having this issue, though they've got slightly better hardware and are running Windows 8 (vs me running Windows 7). I've tried disabling the visual experience elements as described here but it did not seem to have an effect. My system only seems to be using about 5GB of the 8GB available RAM, and my CPU Usage never goes above 30%. I've tried disabling ReSharper in case that was somehow causing the slowdown, but it had no effect on performance.
How can I fix this huge slowdown?

Update: In a hope to fix this, I completely wiped my hard drive and updated to Windows 8. I also upgraded to 16GB of RAM. I then installed just enough software so that I could compile the project. I'm still getting the same slowdown. However, if I create a brand new Web Application, the context menus are speedy. Could something about the project itself cause a slowdown?
I am having the same issue as you. Old web projects are effecting and new web projects are ok.
What I found is I am using a lot of NuGet package in the project and local NuGet cache (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache) is empty because this is new machine.
I recompile the whole solution. NuGet packages are caching in that folder. After compilation is successfully, problem solved.
I am not sure what is happening but this solve my problem. Strange thing is I need to recompile all solutions. Uncompiled solutions have this issue and after compile, this is gone.
We were struggling with the same issue from a long time. Right Click on a project or on the any folder inside project used to take at least 10 seconds for the menu to appear. The solution was quite simple.
Just get rid of all the broken references.
Please refer following image. Such broken references need to be removed.
Remove such references and try right click again, context menu will appear withing a fraction of seconds.
This worked for us.
If its happening for a single project means, you can try out the following
Delete .suo file in your project.
And then Restart the visual studio.
Try loading your project again.
This may provide you a fine solution.
Just to add to the possible solutions, I had the same problem.
BTW I am using VC-2013 Ultimate with R# and NCrunch.
Right clicking on any solution item took forever. I closed the solution and deleted the _ResharperXXX folder in the solution directory.
The problem was gone after I started the solution again.
This has happened a few times now and I have managed to fix it by doing the above every time.
I am trying to create a webproject which can be deployed on azure. I have VS 2010 trial version (pro) installed on windows 7. When i click cloud (under VC#) i am prompted to install Windows azure tools. I do this. I get the tools installed message. I restart VS 2010. But i fail to find windows azure web project template, which should have been installed. It just shows me the same sequence of screens (install tools etc). I am executing VS 2010 under administrator role.
Steps described # http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff687127.aspx
Questions
Is Windows azure template projects not allowed in Trial edition of VS 2010 pro?
Can such a project be made using VS 2010 express?
Thank you
Sameer
I'm not sure about trial versions, as I've never tried installing with a trial edition. However: I've run other software packages with trial versions of Visual Studio, without issue.
The SDK will work with Visual Studio 2010 Pro and above, as well as Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (downloadable here).
For installing the tools properly, I'd suggest going here and installing via Web Platform Installer. It will make sure you have all needed dependencies.
