The 'SqlStudio Profile Package' package did not load correctly

Question

When I start up VS 2012 RC I get the following loading error message:

The 'SqlStudio Profile Package' package did not load correctly.

The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation
of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 
'C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.

I also have SQL Server 2012 RTM installed.

What can I do to get rid of this warning?

Answer 1

1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Programs and Features
3. Locate all items named “Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework"
   Note: There might be up to 4 such instances all with the above name
4. Right click each of them and select Repair

That should solve this issue.

Answer 2

Janaka solution worked for me. But if you do not want to lose your VS configuration, remove only the file :

    Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.cache

from the folder

    %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

Remove the following folders.

C:\Users\UName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 C:\Users\UName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

Answer 4

It turns out that (in my case), the Data Tools installer has a bug whereby you end up with a registry full of:

Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7

...paths, when it should be:

Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7

Fixing all the values and keys fixes the problem (for me).

(ps: no other solution in this thread worked for me)
