Could not create project in Visual Studio 2010 - visual-studio

Can any one tell me why this type of error message is prompting when i am creating new project.
The error message is as below.
" Could not load file or assembly .
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.ManagedInterfaces, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKey Token=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified."
What should I do to overcome this?

Maybe the "Repair" option on then VS2010 Setup will help. If not you might have to do a complete uninstall/reboot/install cycle.
A quick google search gave me something pointing at the VS SDK - maybe a reinstall of this might help too.

I had same issue after installation SP1. I tried re-install of SP1 with no success.
Get the Microsoft.VisualStudio.ManagedInterfaces.dll(if it is not present in your environment you can download it from here ) and install to global cache. Restart VS2010 and load you project again.

Package Installation Error In Microsoft Visual Studio 2019

Please I was busy for the past 4 days trying to fix the issues resulting from the below error. Please how do I go about fixing this error below?
*Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error: Failed to add reference to 'comerr64'.
Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
*
So I tried reinstalling the Microsoft visual studio 2019 to see if things would go well but all trials were to avail. Then I've also tried several times to reinstall the Nuget package "MySql.Data (8.0.32) by oracle, 54.1M downloads" after all trials to fix this but all I got was same error.
There is bug with MySqlData 8.0.32. The workaround is installing MySqlConnector. This link explains it:
https://mysqlconnector.net/troubleshooting/failed-add-reference-comerr/
The error message went away once it was installed and the site is working.
I left MySqlData in the manifest (installed) for now because there are some dependencies to the other MySQL assemblies that require MySqlData installed that will make if difficult to remove at this point.

The “GetDeploymentPathFromVsixManifest” task failed unexpectedly

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.

Error MSB4057 in Microsoft.Common.targets

I have Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
I wrongly edit and save the file
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets
and now I can't compile anymore.
The error I got is
1>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.Targets(767,39):
error MSB4057: The target "_Xsd" does not exist in the project.
I reinstalled Visual Studio 2010, I copied the file from another computer but nothing works and I still have the same error. What can I do?
I search the solution on Internet and i found:
Copy the right target file from another machine to replace the target file.
Uninstall and re-install .Net Framework 4.0 and check if it works.
I tried to restore or install new version of the .NET framework, but other problems occured during installation maybe dued also by hardware problems (i got blue screen sometimes).
I know it isn't a good solution, but at the moment I solved the issue by formatting and reinstalling everything.

"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." when building a Visual Studio 2010 VSPackage

I recently create a couple of VSPackages for some Visual Studio extensions (menu bar/command). I compiled them correctly yesterday, checked into TFS (i'm the only one touching this project, FYI). I had already installed these extensions and were working fine. Today it doesn't compile! I get the following error:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
This doesn't tell me anything, so i fired up Visual Studio with the following command:
devenv.exe /Rebuild > out.log
In my out.log, I see the following:
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\VSSDK\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets(420,5): error : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
I have been stuck on this for hours and can no longer build these VSPackages. Anyone? This is really frustrating. I have already tried cleaning project/rebuilding/build using Visual Studio itself (not command line)
I've experienced this issue several times in both vs2010 and vs2012, and manually deleting the "bin" and "obj" folders from the project then doing a "rebuild" normally does the trick.
Further to the answer provided by the OP, I will provide it here for completeness instead of relying on the external link remaining live:
Quoted directly from the MSDN forum answer:
Do you happen to have these extensions installed to the AllUsers
location (i.e. %VSInstallDir%\Common7\IDE\Extensions)?
You mentioned in your initial post that "I had already installed these
extensions and were working fine."
The task that's failing (based on the line number in the targets file)
is the UninstallExtension task. The only reason I'm thinking this task
would execute and fail in your situation is if you're building an
extension that's already installed to the Common7\IDE\Extensions
directory.

I find myself on this question because of exactly the same build issue of a VSIX Installer Project for our project templates. This solved my issue.
Indeed, I uninstalled the prior version of our templates and the build occurs without issue.
Have you double checked that all of your projects are using compatible framework versions?
As in you can't use a .Net 4.0 assembly in a .Net 3.5 project.
Is the project linked with source control like TFS? If so then take latest from TFS and try again.
Are you running Visual Studio as Administrator?
Maybe you have insufficient rights for some file (copy/move/delete) especially in bin or obj folders.
