At first, devenv /setup did not help me as well. Then I realized that I was using the wrong Visual Studio command prompt version.

Make sure that you run devenv /setup for the appropriate Visual Studio version.

For example: for Visual Studio 2013, use the "Developer Command Prompt" under the Visual studio 2013 "Visual Studio Tools" folder.

*And like it stated in the selected answer, run as administrator.

After deleting this directory and installing Visual Studio 2012 Premium again the problem was solved.
