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.
