The 'ProviderPackage' package did not load correctly

问题

I installed Visual Studio 2012 and at a later date Update 2. After installing Update 2, when I load any project, I get the following error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The 'ProviderPackage' 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\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.

Continue to show this error message?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

After locating the ActivityLog.xml, I see the following set of errors:

Google searches do not reveal an exact match on my issue. I've tried searching the packages on the install ISO and cannot locate a package that needs to be repaired...

F:\packages>dir /s *provider*
 Volume in drive F is VS2012_ULT_MSDN_ENU

Any other ideas?

This is Aaron's (Aaron Reed) answer from above, just copied as an answer instead of part of the question:

Fixed it... Fixed it... Fixed it...

Opened Programs and Features (run: appwiz.cpl)
Sorted list of installed apps by: Install Date
Filtered list by adding "SQL" to the upper right search filter
List item

I installed VS2012 on 4/1/13, so I went through each listed SQL item in the list, and right click --> Repair

From there I ran VS2012 and opened the target Solution file without issue.

My list:

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu (11.1.20627.00)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects (x64)
Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2012 (x64)

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL Compiler Service
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Command Line Utilities
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Build Utilities - enu (11.1.206...
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 SP1 x64 ENU

Close Visual Studio.
Open a Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2012 (as administrator).
Type devenv /setup.
Restart Visual Studio.

See Visual C++ package: failed to load?????

回答3:

This worked for me -

In order to fix the issue one needs to clear the Visual Studio cache under:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache

Thanks go to blog post SetSite failed for package [Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation.EditorPackage].

回答4:

I fixed this by uninstalling or removing:

Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu (14.0.50325.0)

I hope this helps :)

回答5:

Usually this can be fixed by clearing the Visual Studio cache under:

Visual Studio 2012: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache

Visual Studio 2013: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache

回答6:

Worked for me. Window7 SP1 + VS 2013 Open a Developer Command Propmpt for VS 2012 (as administrator). Run devenv /setup.

回答7:

An even quicker fix is to simply repair the Microsoft SQL Server in the list. That fixed my problem.

回答8:

Uninstalling/Repairing SQL Server Data tools is the only thing which worked for me, thanks to wayne.blackmon comment.

回答9:

For me the ActivityLog.xml stated

<errorinfo>Access to the path 'C:\Users\Klas\Documents\Visual Studio
2015\ArchitectureExplorer' is denied.</errorinfo>

When I examined this folder I realized that the entire folder structure here

C:\Users\Klas\Documents\Visual Studio 2015

had permission set so that my user had no write permissions. I added Full Control rights to my user for this folder and everything below.

After that, the message went away. Also, when I started Visual Studio it created lots of subfolders to this folder.

回答10:

I had the same issue in Visual Studio 2013 for Windows 8.1.

The previous answers didn't work for me. I had to repair Visual Studio and then reboot my machine.

回答11:

I was getting this error on Visual Studio start up:

the 'visual studio component model host package' did not load correctly...

After that bunch of other The '' package did not load correctly... error messages.

I realized I don't have enough free space on my C drive, where the Visual Studio were installed.

I opened up some space and restarted the Visual Studio, solved the problem.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the free space on disk though.

回答12:

In my case the problem appeared after I installed Visual Studio 2015. From that point nor 2015, nor previous versions of Visual Studio would load. The problem was the PATH environment variable exceeding the MAX length.

I shortened it to less than 2048 and restarted the machine. Visual Studio started loading, but with some errors still. Lastly run the devenv /setup, and all is back to normal.

回答13:

I just had a similar error (on Windows 7. I installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional and then after that, several "...package did not load correctly" messages started showing up when I ran Visual Studio 2012).

What fixed my issue was to repair "Microsoft Studio Tools for Applications 2012".

Run "appwiz.cpl" (Control Panel → Programs → Uninstall a program
Right-click on "Microsoft Studio Tools for Applications 2012. Select "Change", then click "Repair".

After this, I can open up Visual Studio 2012 without those error messages.

回答14:

I had a similar error. After I updated to VS2012.U2, the problem went away. TFS 2012 update 2 can't be removed without removing TFS. While I had an issue with upgrading from TFS2012.U1 to U2, I have found TFS2012.U2 to be worthwhile.

回答15:

It was the problem with access rights to my %USERPROFILE% directory (because of the failure with the PC). Setting permissions to full access fixed it.

回答16:

Another suggestion,

Run as admin, and restart the VS application.

Apply package update. Reboot.

Hope this helps!

回答17:

From MSDN forums:

Please open Windows Explorer, and navigate to <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE
Devenv.exe /SafeMode: Launches the IDE in safe mode loading minimal windows.
Devenv.exe /ResetSettings: Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to the specified VSSettings file.
Devenv.exe /ResetAddin: Removes commands and command UI associated with the specified Add-in.
Devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs: Clears all SkipLoading tags added to VSPackages.

If still no help, I suggest you try repairing your Visual Studio installation or uninstall it and then reinstall it. If you want to reinstall it, I am afraid that you need a DVD or a fine Internet.

Doing the first three steps works for me.

回答18:

I got "lucky" and restarted Visual Studio 2013 and it worked. I have had other errors in which deleting the temp cache items cleared it up.

Side note. While Visual Studio 2015 is not perfect as of yet, and NuGet has become less friendly to use IMO, if my computer is restarted by the company domain network administrators OR especially when there is a computer losing power with a brown-out of some loss of power Visual Studio 2013 becomes a bit a "fun" to fix while Visual Studio 2015 projects for months seem to just open just fine as if nothing happened when I login.
