I am getting a Cannot Load "fpacutl10.dll" error every time I click on the Style button on the Properties tab in inside of Visual Studios 2010 when I am editing a web page. Has anyone else have this error and how do you fix it?
I have tried reinstalling VS2010 and installing KB2201993 patch from microsoft.
Append the following to your 'Path' environment variable (without the quotes):
";C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\vwd"
Never personally seen this errror, but maybe this thread may help: http://forums.asp.net/p/1578911/4125578.aspx
To sum it up, first check to see if the dll is located in Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages
The only way that I was able to fix this issue was to re-install the OS.

I installed VS 2015 version on my system. I already had Visual studio 2013 update 4 installed on my machine. But now, whenever I try to open any cshtml ( razor view) in VS 2013, I get following error:
Microsoft Visual Studio
The operation could not be completed. Invalid pointer
OK
Please suggest me its solution.
For anyone arriving here after installing Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 and then updating some packages, here is what fixed it for me:
Close Visual Studio
Delete %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
Re-open Visual Studio
I was getting this error message in VS2015 and the fix worked for me, so it seems to apply to 2013 and 2015.
I found the solution on another Stack Overflow question: Visual Studio 2015 Broken Razor Intellisense.
Installing Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 fixed this for me:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2015-update1-vs.aspx
Sometimes it helps to delete Solution User Options (.Suo) File. In my case it was the evil and worked for me.
I'm not sure what ended up fixing it, but I closed Visual Studio and opened up developer tools, and ran devenv /SafeMode which starts it with no extensions installed. I then navigated and opened up the solution in the instance and it worked. It complained about source control bindings and removed those (This solution used to be in a TFS project and now it's in a git tfs project). Then after saving it and closing visual studio I was able to re-open the solution from file explorer.
I'm not sure if it was the devenv or the source control bindings that fixed it, or just restarting visual studio for the umpteenth time, but it appears to work now.
I have the same error and I have tried the following with NO SUCCES
“%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG” to something
else. I changed it to VS7DEBUG1.
Delete the content of
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
Installed Servicing Update
(KB3110221) -
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2016/01/26/servicing-update-available-for-visual-studio-update-1/
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /resetuserdata
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
/resetsettings
I finally uninstalled visual studio 2015. Restarted and installed it again and then it worked.
Sometimes it is just a matter of closing Visual Studio 2015 and then open again.
I have had this happen on a few machines.
This does happen
"Have you tried to delete the "Your_Solution_FileName.suo" file?"
Also computer crashing like e.g. power outage etc...
I managed to get rid of this error by a combination of the answers here plus some more:
Close Visual Studio
Delete %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
Delete the .suo file
Re-open Visual Studio - the same error
Edit the .csproj file - >go to the
ProjectExtensions/VisualStudio/FlavorProperties, delete the entire
FlavorProperties element.
Reload the project
try
reopening solution
renaming the solution file (.sln) to something else
deleting of "ProjectExtensions"
I'm trying to launch Visual Studio 2010 from my desktop and I just get this error box popping up saying "Unknown Error"...
Anyone have an idea why this might happen?
I just fixed it, I uninstalled and reinstalled my version of the .NET Framework (v4.0). And then when I again tried to launch Visual studio it started up without any issue.
Here's some things you can check:
Temporary de-activate all Addins
Temporary disable all Extensions
Check the Event Log for any errors
Reset your settings
Start with /ResetSkipPkgs
Based on your comment below, if you can't find the DevEnv.exe when you have opened a VIsual Studio Command prompt, I would suggest you to re-install Visual Studio as it indicates your installation (paths) are in a bad state.
And here are some other things you migh want to check:
VS 2010 Crashes on Startup with "Unknown Error"
Visual Studio 2010 quit working...now gives me an "unknown error" dialogue when launched
Visual Studio 2010 Startup Errors
Visual Studio 2010 crashes on startup after installing SP1
Open Visual Studio Command Prompt with Administrator permission and type the following,
devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
the Solution of this problem ist very simple.
Install VS 2010 on a other machine and export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 to a file. Copy the file to your target machine and rename the path above to ".old", then double click your exported reg-file and wait a time....
After this my Visual Studio was starting correctly.
The other solution, that people post wont work in my case.
I hope this will help some body.
Enjoy

I had the same problem.. Instead of completely uninstalling .net framework, I just repaired the .net framework from the repair/uninstall option available in Control Panel of my Windows 7 Ultimate pc. Finally I got another error that, Visual Studio could not create AppData folder in my system. Then, I right click the Visual Studio icon and selected Run as Administrator. This worked for me!! Now, Visual Studio 2010 is working on my pc!! Try this out if you want..
During visual studio startup I get lots of annoying dialogs about extensions package loading errors.
All the extensions that fail to load are those I uninstalled.
I checked all the places mentioned in this article (Bootstrapping of VS packages and VSIX extensions in VS2010) and none of the extensions I get error for is there.
Is there somewhere else I can check?
I would "just" like to see where visual studio finds these references and kindly delete them all :)
I found this folder in the windows registry:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3990449039-760197492-1239349315-1121\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\Packages
It contains all the reference to extensions visual studio tries to load (mostly pointing to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3990449039-760197492-1239349315-1121\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\InstalledProducts subfolders).
I just renamed the folder of the extensions I did remove and I do not see load errors anymore.
I'm sure this could cause some side effects so is anyone aware of a better way to avoid visual studio trying to load uninstalled extensions?
This is the correct answer:
Close Visual Studio.
Backup, and then delete Visual Studio's AppData folder. For example:
Visual Studio 2010:
%AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
Visual Studio 2012:
%AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0
Visual Studio 2013:
%AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0
Restart Visual Studio and enjoy.
I had a problem like this after upgrading SmartBear AQTime where I removed IDE integration (which doesn't work well anyway, may as well run standalone). VS2010 complained no startup about packages which didn't load correctly.
I actually deleted the contents of
AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions
and this fixed things entirely.
I encount this problem after removing devexpress from my computer,and I cleaned the registries yesterday，then I delete the devenv.CTM file in
%AppData%..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\1033 file and restart my VS, it works!
I just installed VS11 professional version on windows 8 consumer preview OS.
I tried to create a win32 console app, wizard fails with following error:
Microsoft Visual Studio
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\VCWizards\default.vcxproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.vcxproj) is not supported by this version of the application.
To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project.
OK
Not sure what i'm missing. Anyone here can help me?
Here's what fixed it for me, check your User environment variables for VCHOME, VCINSTALLDIR and vsinstalldir.
Change
X:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\
to
X:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\
Or
X:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\
depending VS 2012 or 2013.
Couldn't find the answer. Re-installation of VS11 fixed the issue.
Run VS2011 first and than drag and drop project file in it. That helped me.
For those who come to this thread with the same problem but for VS2015: installing Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 fixed the problem for me.
I installed Visual Studio 2008 package FULL option. It worked with out any problem. I installed Vstudio 2008 and MSDN in separate folder in the D drive. 2 days later in order to remove my projects i uninstalled every thing and also i deleted visual studio 2008, visual studio 2005 folders from C:\Documents and Settings\IRCTC\My Documents. (I believe these 2 folders were automatically created when we install visual studio) also I cleared %path% and path (c/windows/path). Again I installed VISUAL STUDIO 2008 but now I can't able to create window application (other web, vb also), what is the solution for this ...
ERROR that shown is
c:/documents and settings/IRCTC/local settings/temp/g1zzsdl.bak/temp/windowsFormsApplication.csproj cannot be opened because project type (.csproj) is not supported by this version of visual studio.......
Whether any system file corrupted (windows temp or .net folber in windows).....
No other installation problem found in my system.....
please help.....
What are the files/folders required for the installation......
When you get that error is usually because:
You are trying to open a project created with a previous version of Visual Studio (not your case)
There was a bit of a screw-up during the installation (sounds like your case)
I'd uninstall the thing and reinstall completely first thing.
If it still doesn't work, it could be related to VS templates and you might wanna try and run from Visual Studio 2008 command prompt:
devenv /InstallVSTemplates
If it still doesn't work, open Visual Studio, in the menu, Open Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->General. At this point you will notice the path of Project Templates is set to "C:\Documents and Settings[yourUserName]\My Documents\Visual Studio 9\Templates\ProjectTemplates" or something very similar to that. In order to fix it you gotta set that path to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\IDE\Project Templates or the same path according to wherever you installed Visual Studio
I don't think is related to VS project Templates though - see this link
Try and see what happens!
Why didn't you use visual studio's uninstall function available from the control panel|add/remove programs?
I would uninstall the latest installation as described above, and try again.
