Googlizing: found at Stackoverflow a solution solving the problem:
I attempted:
- Deleted ComponentModelCache folder, which is located at:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache - Deleted Extensions folder, which is located at:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions
- Closed Visual Studio 2013
- Deleted both folders mentioned above.
- Restarted VS
- Closed VS
- Opened, as Administrator, the Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts - At command line typed: devenv /setup.
- After typing in devenv /setup and hitting enter, the cursor moved down one line and blinked for about 30-45 seconds before returning back to a command prompt.
- Closing out Developer Command Prompt, VS was opened.
I remember having a similar issue a while back. At that time all I had to do was delete the ComponentModelCache folder.
This time I had to take an extra step running devenv /setup at the command prompt.
A resourceful link:
/Setup (devenv.exe)
This post is for the purpose of my notes only and sometimes a rant.
“I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready and then it is inevitable. To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.”Henry Ford
