Add Reference dialog not working after installing VS2012 update 1 - visual-studio-2012

I installed Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 and now I can't add a reference to any project.
The Add Reference dialog does not open at all.
The ActivityLog.xml contains these errors :
550 Begin package load [ReferenceManagerPackage] {48D4A2C1-02AD-4F18-9153-620511BACB7B} VisualStudio 2012/12/09 00:39:58.544
551 ERROR CreateInstance failed for package [ReferenceManagerPackage] {48D4A2C1-02AD-4F18-9153-620511BACB7B} 80131522 VisualStudio 2012/12/09 00:39:58.575

I'm on VS2012 Professional.

Following a suggestion from the Visual Studio Setup and Installation forums, I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio and the problem is gone for now ...
Note that I had difficulties uninstalling Visual Studio, I guess the install had been corrupted but by what ?

VCRUNTIME140_1D error in debug mode with visual studio

Hello when im runing visual studio 2017 on debug mode I got this error VCRUNTIME140_1D.dll was not found, I tried to install again visual studio 17 and redistributed c++ 17 but nothing. I check system32 and i cant find this file also there
Thanks for ur answer
I found the solution, the problem is that thi sdll vcruntime140_1d.dll is a special dll for VS19. u can find it in MVSC in install directory for your VS19. and is VS17 doesnt have the same version. sso install VS19 INSTEAD OF 17.
It seems like you are missing the cvruntime140_1D.dll file from your computer. You have to reinstall redistributable c++ and you can find the dll in the system folder.

Visual Studio 2013 ultimate with update 5 Installation issue

Cannot create or compile win32 projects in Visual Studio 2015

I have Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017 installed on my windows pc.
All version have the C++ components installed.
When I try to build a win32 project in vs2015, I get the error:
TRACKER : error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe". The system cannot find the file specified.
And If I try to create a new win32 project via the new project wizard, I can select the Win32 project types, but when I click OK, the wizard just reopens, with no error message.
This only occurs with vs2015. I have tried repairing the installation, and re-installing 2015, but no luck. Anything else I can try?
Try changing this: Build/Configuration Manager/Plataform/New/X86
The basic gist of this, is that you have to install your vs versions in chronological order.
If you fail to do this, for example, installing vs2015 first, certain tools or run-times will not be installed later, as installers for c++ runtimes are version number sensitive.
I had to uninstall all versions, and all c++ run times, then start again to solve the issue.

Web Publishing Extension not installed in Visual Studio 2015

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 trying to publish my app, but when I try to do so I get the error:
The Web Publishing Extension is not installed which is required to publish. You can install it from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=208120
I tried repairing Visual Studio and reinstalling Azure SDK for VS 2015 but the problem persists. I wanted to try the solution posted here but I don't have a folder named Publish in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\
Any idea about what can be the problem? I found a lot of post in SO about this problem but can't find any solution when there isn't any folder named Publish. I'm on Windows 10.
Solved it by reinstalling Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools using Visual Studio Extensions and Updates menu (Tools -> Extensions and Updates...)

Visual Studio 2012 platform toolset v110_xp

I'm trying to build a program using Visual Studio 2012. It's platform toolset property was set to 'v110_xp' but I changed it to 'v110'
Now I'm getting the error:
Error 2 error MSB8020: The builds tools for v110_xp (Platform Toolset = 'v110_xp') cannot be found. To build using the v110_xp build tools, either click the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then select "Update VC++ Projects...". Install v110_xp to build using the v110_xp build tools. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets 44
I already updated the VC++ Project and I also changed the platform toolset property to Visual Studio 2012 (v110) (it was originally set to v110_xp)
I also opened the .vcxproj file in another editor and manually changed it to use v110.
Does anybody know how to fix this error?
I updated Visual Studio 2012 to Update 4 and that seems to fix it.
