Answer 1

I'm running VS 2010, 2012 and 2013 on the same box.

I had the exactly same error when I run VS 2012 on my machine after I installed the new release of Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2013) - 2.5.

However, once I installed Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2012) - 2.5 again, the error has disappeared.

Hence, instead of uninstalling Microsoft Azure HDInsight Tools for Visual Studio, just install Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET 2.5 for both VS2012 and VS2013. That should work.
