We solved a similar issue registering again all the dll's in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VS7Debug

For first one remember to use:

%systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe

and for 2nd ones (32 bit):

Go to some place and check again those options and click OK again.
