VS2012 Completely hosed

[Troy]

My VS2012 Install is completely hosed and everything points back to Telerik. Here is one of the event log entries for this error:

What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

Please try uninstalling Visual Studio and Telerik, then re-installing.  Many people including myself are running VS2012 with Telerik suite with no issues at all.

No, I just uninstalled all of the Telerik stuff and it worked fine. The issue was not VS2012 it was Telerik.

Hi,

It seems that the VS extension fails to load a resource. This could be caused by a version mismatch.

Could you, please, try to uninstall all Telerik VS extensions and install their latest versions?

To do this, open Visual Studio -> Tools -> Extensions and Updates and uninstall all Telerik extensions. Then, open the Online tab and search for the latest version of the extensions you've uninstalled.

Let us know if the problem persists.

Kind regards,
Chavdar,
Telerik
