Answer 1

I had the same problem, and I have fixed it. You should check the name of the folder in which you installed visual studio. If its name has been changed, windows can not find the components to execute. For this reason, windows will show an error message box to you

Answer 2

To fix this issue

1. Start regedit.exe
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio
3. Delete 11.0_Config
4. Restart ssms.exe

Answer 4

This is probably specific to people working with Isolated Shell applications based on VS 2015, but I found that two registry values were sometimes getting set with incorrect values, leading to this error on startup. Simply delete them from the registry and start again:

HKCU\Software\Company\TheApp\1.0_Config\Initialization\PkgDefSearchPath
HKCU\Software\Company\TheApp\1.0_Config\Initialization\RelativeRootFolderPath

For Visual Studio 2015, replace Company\TheApp\1.0_Config with Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config.

Answer 5

For Visual Studio 2015 I had to delete these keys in regedit.exe:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config

Answer 6

I had solved the same issue on VS2012 as following steps:

• Use regedit.exe

• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio

• Delete "11.0_Config" & "11.0 node" notice: 11.0 as your VS version

• Restart VS2012 VS env will be constructed initially.

Hope this help. BR
