I'm having problems with a fresh install of VS Express 2013, I'd really appreciate some help or even pointers as to how I can debug these types of issues.
I have ensured the system path is under 2000 chars (it's 600). I have un/reinstalled numerous times. It alwaysseemsto go ok, but when I open the application I am having 3 problems - I'm not sure if they're related or not:
One
When I try to create a new Project, it just gives me the following alert box:
Error loading type library/dll. Exception from hresult: 0x80029c4A TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY
And when attempting a new Web Site, it gives me:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Two
After installation I'm missing an exe file in the start menu. The folder for VS 2013 is there, but it just says "empty". Sure I can find the exe file and pin it to the start menu / taskbar, but I'm thinking this is an indication that something has gone wrong?
Three
Thirdly, when I open an existing project (created in VWD 2010) and perform a build, the build fails, but it gives me no messages in the Errors window.
Thank you in advance for any help, suggestions or advice you can offer.
