The 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Publish.WebPublishPackage,MircosoftVisualStudio.Web.Publish' 
package did not load correctly. 

And

The 'ScaffoldungVSPackage' package did not load correctly.

Tried So Far: Has anyone an idea how to resolve this issue? I already tried:

• Reinstalling VS2013

• Reinstalling WindowsAzureSDK V2.4

• Disabling Extensions

Thanks.

回答1:

I had the same problem. I first tried to repair Update 3 installation for Visual Studio. I'm mentioning it because it may have helped a bit, I'm not sure.

I then opened my Azure solution. Right clicked on the cloud project and selected Properties. In the first tab (Application) there was a message that my solution was using Microsoft Azure Tools version 2.3 and I had the option to change it to version 2.4. After I switched to newer version, I restarted Visual Studio and it didn't show me error message anymore.

One other thing I had to do is to switch the startup project to the Cloud project because after the update it somehow changed to my MVC project.

And one other thing - Windows Azure SDK v2.4 deleted all my storage tables so you'll probably have the same problem..

For ScaffoldingVsPackage errors,

I deleted everything from GAC, which started with Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding*

And no more errors, now!

PS: I had done a full re-install of VS2013 with Update 3 earlier, but it didn't solved my problem, until the above cleanup from GAC!

EDIT: As "mtman" mentioned, I did perform a manual delete from GAC folder, without using the gacutil command-line.

回答3:

I had similar problem, but my error is related to scaffolding item.

I need to uninstall visual studio and went through all the related folders, registry and re-install visual studio in order to make it work!

Folders that I checked:

• %App Data%
• %Program Data%
• %Program Files%
• Windows

basically I searched anything that has "visual studio" & "scaffolding" in folders & registry, delete all and restart the PC before I install the visual studio again!

Hope that help :)

[Sorry I don't know how to fix issue with ScaffoldingVsPackage, but this information about the Web Publish package might help you.]

Reinstall "Web Deploy 3.5" using the "Microsoft Web Platform Installer".

NOTE: I had already installed the Web Deploy 3.5 on my machine, so I needed to uninstall it first.

Visual Studio 2013 packages can be found in the registry under the HKEY_USERS\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Packages key. Searching from that location for "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Publish.WebPublishPackage" shows that the extension is installed in the C:\Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/Common7/IDE/Extensions/Microsoft/Web Tools/Publish folder. These files were last touched on my machine at the exact date of the Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 installation.

I tried repairing the Azure Web Tools 2.4 update, but it does nothing to these files. (That extension is installed into a completely different folder, BTW.) So, I find it curious that the error dialog points you in the wrong direction. The Azure Tools version of publish is installed under a different package name: "Microsoft.Cct.Packages.WebPublish.WebPublishPackage".

If you suspect a bad package registration, you can update the VS registry by running the following commands at an elevated command prompt:

devenv /setup
devenv /updateconfiguration

回答5:

To resolve problems with WebPublishPackage do in Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 (under Administrator):

gacutil -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Publish\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll"

gacutil -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Publish\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Publish.dll"

I installed the Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET(VS 2013) - 2.8.1 and had the same issue. It turns out that I did not fully complete the installation as it requires several pc reboots. Be sure that the 'Items to be installed' count is zero on the Installer screen.
