BootstrapPackage did not load correctly VS 2010

Question

I just installed VS 2010 v 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel on 64bit Win7 Ultimate and keep receiving the following error when I try to open a web project. I have repaired and reinstall but

Answer 1

Tried the uninstall and reinstall of Visual Studio 2010… Still that had the damn annoying message about the Missing Assembly.

Looked on the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ Directory which only showed: Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DLL

Installed a LOT of Windows Server 2008 files (32 Bit OS) in regards to SQL Server 2008… ADO.Net, etc… STILL didn’t solve the issue! GRRRRRRR!

So I finally fixed the issue by reading between the lines. See the details below on how I resolved this issue…

This points to the MISSING Assembly: Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.BootstrapPackage, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0/Packages/{7A4E8D96-5D5B-4415-9FAB-D6DCC56F47FB}

Renamed Key to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0/Packages/{7A4E8D96-5D5B-4415-9FAB-D6DCC56F47FB}-123

Problem Solved for now in Visual Studio 2010!

Hope this helps someone else resolve this issue!
