I tried to create a new Silverlight project in Visual Studio 2010 (Ultimate version) for the first time.
It told me I got to install the latest version of Silverlight, before creating any.
You need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime before creating a silverlight project
I clicked the link on the message, download and install whatever was there.
Then when I tried to create a new project, it told me I got to install "Silverlight 3 sdk".
I removed the new version, and installed Silverlight 3 sdk.
Then again, when I tried to create a new project I recived the error stating I must install the latest version.
It went like this a bit more, then after searching on the internet, I removed everything from my computer with "Silverlight" in it's name, installed Visual Studio SP 1, reinstalled Silverlight 5 (this time I paid attention to install x64 version, since it turns out that in the error message Microsoft supplied a link to x86 version, no matter what OS you are running).
I managed to create a new project, and everything was fine.
Then I downloaded some Silverlight.FX samples (probably for version 3).
They weren't open properly (which was a downer by itself), and then I recieved again a message tells me I must istall the newest version.
I closed Visual Studio, tried to create a new project, and got again the same message.
It seems the problem reappeared just because I opened an old project.
Does it make sense? Why my Visual Studio is so unstable? What should I do?
Your silverlight plugin version, silverlight sdk and silverlight developer tools version should be same version. Please check this.

I updated Visual Studio on Mac and after it tried to start, it told me I need to install Mono and directed me to a web page for that. I installed Mono. Now every time I launch Visual Studio, it just says
Could not launch Visual Studio
This application requires Xamarin.Mac native library side-by-side.
Please download and install the latest version of Mono.
I tried restarting but that didn't help.
What now?
(I'm running the latest macOS, and updated XCode if that matters. Mono is 5.4.0.201.)
New EDIT:(2022)
Users are saying there's a better way than uninstalling and reinstalling. I haven't tested it myself. See comments and answers for more information.

Uninstalling and reinstalling is still the only way as the answer suggests, on: 2019:

The fastest and easiest way will be to uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.
I have just ran into the same problem. I did follow the alert instructions and installed the newest mono framework from Mono websites (6.10.0). After this still the same issue. So I downloaded and ran VS4M installer and it said, it need version 6.8 of Mono framework and it did offer me to download and install this "update". So i went ahead. Still the same warning after launching VS.
Desperately enough after reading this thread I started looking for uninstall instructions (on official site). I did not want to use the script to auto-uninstall as I rather do it all by myself just for ensuring it will be everything done properly. So manual uninstall said to delete the Visual Studio app from /Application folder first. I did it. And woala: All the sudden the new app called "Visual Studio (old)" appeared (or maybe it was there already but I did not notice? Anyway, it was there). It was certainly weird, but I ran it. And it did work! Working instance of Visual Studio! I did check the updates and there was one for the app only. That was my first step straight after launching. It did download the new update and installed it correctly. Now I have end up with fully working and fully updated version of VS4M!
Conclusion:
Use VS4M installer to install all updates and necessarities to run VS4M. After this go to your /Application folder and delete "Visual Studio" app. The "Visual Studio (old)" app should appear. Run this app and update it straight away. (you might have to rename it afterwards from "Visual Studio (old)" to "Visual Studio")
Did you try going to the Applications folder? You'll see a Visual Studio.app file there and you can run Visual Studio by opening that.
I have sovled the problem by brew install --cask mono-mdk rather than brew install mono, in case anyone is installing mono through brew.
my Visual Studio does not recognize my Windows 10 SDK.
The steps to reproduce it:
Install VS 2015 Professional with update 3 and select the windows SDK for version 10.0.14393.0 as optional feature
Create an UWP App with this version
The following error is displayed in the output window:
error : The project requires a platform SDK (UAP, Version=10.0.14393.0) that is not installed. Please visit the following link for more information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?prd=12514&pver=14.0&sbp=PlatformSDKMissing&plcid=0x409&o1=UAP,%20Version=10.0.14393.0
Uninstall Windows 10 SDK 10.0.14393.0
Install Windows 10 SDK 10.0.14393.0 from the link provided in step 3
Create an UWP App with the version 10.0.14393.0 and the same error like in step 3 is displayed
further information: in the list of programs and features in the control panel the name of the sdk is:
Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 10.0.14393.795
and the version is
10.1.14393.795
My guess is that the version is wrong in the registry and therefore visual studio cannot find the sdk.
If I look under the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Platforms\UAP I can see a directory named 10.0.14393.0 that contains a Platform.xml and a PreviousPlatforms.xml as it should.
Under the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin there is a directory named 10.0.14393.0 too so the SDK seems to be installed correctly
I already tried reinstalling of visual studio and several SKDs in different versions from VS or the online link and nothing worked. If I target another SDK Version like 10.0.10586 I am able to create the project.
Thank you for reading. I am thankful for every hint into the right direction.
Reinstalling Windows is not necessary. Modify the existing installation of VS2017 and remove the check next to Universal Windows Platform development, then go to the Individual components tab and select the Windows SDK 10.0.14393.
Click Modify.
Once finished, Modify the existing installation of VS2017 again and recheck the Universal Windows Platform development box and Click Modify.
Problem resolved and no restart required.
I had this same issue but resolved it by installing the .033 version rather than the latest .795. It is available on the SDK download page in the description of the SDK by clicking on the link behind 'QFE':
Windows 10 SDK (ver. 10.0.14393.795 – a QFE for 10.01.14393.033) and Microsoft Emulator for Windows 10 mobile
Also, even though it wasn't required, I uninstalled .795, then rebooted. Then installed .033 and then rebooted again prior to trying to open visual studio.
I'v already installed Windows SDK 10.0.14393.795 successfully. Then I create UWP project which targets 14393 successfully. So I could not reproduce your issue.
I already tried reinstalling of visual studio and several SKDs in different versions from VS or the online link and nothing worked.
If you have tried to repair your visual studio, but it still didn't work. You'd better use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. Find vslogs.zip from %temp% folder. Please upload the file and share the link here. I will help you find the root cause according to the log file.
The solution is to reinstall windows and make a clean install of Visual Studio. Somehow the system got messed up and not even a visual studio reinstall could help.
After a major Windows update whenever I open an interop solution (namely Outlook) I get the error message that the project is unloads. Trying to reload the project onRightClick I get the message:
"the following projects are not supported by either this edition of
visual studio or the version of windows installed on the computer.
There may be steps you can take to open these projects, such as
installing a different edition of visual studio or upgrading to the
latest version of Windows.Please see the latest compatibility
information() for visual studio for suggestions about how to open
these projects"
I thought there were some small incombatibilities in the definition of the template, but no, it is even more strange: I can create a new interop project (in the new environment created by the updates that affect .net) and work with it and save it. When trying to reload it I get the same message.
Any ideas?
Yesterday I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web on Windows 7 Home Premium. When I launched it and trying to set up new project, I wasn't able to do it, because no .Net framework was seen in New Project window. I got message "No framework is selected, you must select one before creating a project". Then I reinstalled twice Visual, but it didn't solve my problem. I also tried to install .Net 4.0 manually, but I got messsage that newer version is already installed, which means that .NET 4.5 framework was installed on my computer during Visual's installation. Is there any possible solution to my issue, beside reinstalling Windows? I would be very grateful for help.
I recently installed VS 2013 on Windows 8.1. When I open up any xaml file I get this error message below.
This happens even if I create a project from scratch in VS 2013. I've tried re-installing Windows 8.1 and VS 2013.
Has anyone come across this issue?
System.Exception Package failed updates, dependency or conflict
validation.
Windows cannot install package
App.a94e67374.a8775.a4662.ab57f.a7f1805386d2c because this package
depends on another package that could not be found. This package
requires minimum version 0.0.0.0 of framework
Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.Debug published by any publisher to install.
Provide the framework along with this package.
I had the same error just like you.
I registered myself and got a developer licence. After registerering
I debugged the program and it all got fixed by itself
I use windows 10, to fixed it, I go to Setting -> Update & Security -> For developers, I choose Developer mode. In windows 8 and 8.1, I don't know.
the figure of setting
It happened to me as well with both VS 2013 and VS 2015. I think it's a common problem when VS is freshly installed.
I solved it both the times with running VS with administrator privileges (right click on the VS tile on Windows 8 and select "Run as Admin") and opening a XAML file with the editor. It takes some more time than usual, but then the problem gets fixed by itself.
After that you can continue using VS with standard user privileges.
Sadly none of the above solutions seemed to work for me.
My windows 8 installation is quite old and over the years, I had installed several visual studio versions such as 2010,2012 and 2013.
Even uninstalling visual studio, there will be many files and packages left behind.
I managed to fix this issue with the following steps:
1. Install Revo Uninstaller and from the options menu I enabled the "Show system components".
2. For some reason along with the visual studio 2013 ultimate installation (main application - do not uninstall this) I uninstalled two installations related to the main visual studio 2013 application such as: vs 2013 premium and vs 2013 professional apart from the main application (Repeat: Do not uninstall the main app)
3. Uninstall all the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime packages
4. Performed a repair of the the visual studio
Something else that I would rather prefer doing than performing a full repair as it takes far too long, would be to uninstall all the visual C++ runtimes packages and anything related to them (you might brake some apps but they are easy to find and easier to install)
and simply reinstall those visual c++ redistributes starting from the latest version and see if it works.
Before anything however, make sure you have a developer license like said on a previous post (no developer account is required. You don't have to pay for anything yet).
I'll try to provide step-by-step guid to fix the issue.
Please create an MSDN account here https://msdn.microsoft.com and use your login credentials in VS 2013
You have to enable "Developer mode" option from UPDATE & SECURITY (Windows 10). Attaching the screen shot for more clarity.
This should solve the problem, but if it doesn't then,
Try restarting your Visual Studio as administrator.
