Could not load file or asssembly 'Microsoft.identity.client' - visual-studio-2022

I want to install Github Copilot extension in Visual studio 2022. when i install it, i close all vs 2022 as instructed then i am supposed to receive a message saying that it was done.
However i keep getting an error from VSIX Installer saying:
Could not load file or asssembly 'Microsoft.identity.client, version=4.30.0.0,culture=neutral,PublickeyToken=0a613f4dd989eBae' or one of its dependencies. the located assembly's manifest definition does not match the asssembly reference.(Exception from HRESULT: 0x801311040).
I get the same message when i try to update any extensions i have in visual studio 2022
PS: I already installed Copilot in VsCode and it working perfectly.
Thank you!

It FINALLY worked. The error happened because I didn't have app installer and Microsoft store so I had to reset my windows 10 then the problem was solved.

Try logging in from a clean state:
Close Visual Studio 2022.
Delete C:\Users\AppData\Local\github-copilot\hosts.json
Log out of GitHub in the web browser.
Open Visual Studio.

Web Setup Project on Visual Studio 2022 - Unable to open project error

Good evening,
I have created a Web Form using Visual Studio 2022, and I have created a Web Setup project to help our customers to install the site on their server. I used the official extension that allows to create Setup projects in VS2022 (Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects); everything worked fine until some days ago, when VS2022 started to show the following error when trying to load the installer project:
"Unable to open project .../Setup.vdproj".
This is the error I am getting when I try to open/create a Web Setup project
I tried to open it also with VS2019, which I still had installed on my computer, but I got the same error.
At the beginning I thought it was an issue related to the project (maybe for some reasons some files had been corrrupted), so I tried to create a new Web Setup project, both on VS2022 and VS2019. Again, the same error appeared, on both versions of VS. At this point I tried to load the already existing project on another computer, and on the other computer everything worked perfectly, the project was loaded immediatly and no issues have been detected.
I tried to unistall and re-install the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension, it didn't solve the problem; I tried to repair VS2022, it didn't solve the problem; I tried to completely uninstall VS2022 and VS2019 and re-install only VS2022, and guess what? It didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, and what is the reason why I am unable to neither load nor create Web Setup projects?
Thank you,
Giacomo

Visual Studio 2017 can't load solutions The "Package" package did not load correctly

I recently used the repair function in my Visual Studio Installer that I thought could fix the error message: Microsoft data transformation services designer package did not load correctly. However it turns out there is a new error message when I wanted to load my previous project: The "Package" package did not load correctly.
If I continue the loading, I will receive some other warning message in the solution Explorer saying my project is "incompatible" and "the application is not installed":
I initially also tried to follow some online solution and tried to repair Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools in control panel. It doesn't allow me to repair and says Setup Failed almost immediately after I click on the repair button.
Initially I was trying to add an WCF extenion in Visual Studio but seemed failed and threw the first error message to me. Then when I try to repair, the first error message is gone and I was given the second error message. Now I stuck in there.
I have also checked if SSDT is included in the installer and New project types:
It seems the SSDT is selected in the Visual Studio Installer and all my current project types are listed in the screenshot as well (previously I was able to see Integration services as well but now after the repair I can't).
I'm using Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 on a test server that a few people have access to (I've also tried to restart the Visual Studio and the server but it didn't help).
Hope I can get some suggestions here, really appreciated.

Unable to start program "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe"

I've installed .NET Core 1.0.1 to use with VS 2015 Update 3 and I'm running as Administrator (on Windows 8.1 x64).
If I create any .NET Core project, be it console or web and attempt to run it Visual Studio then comes up with an error:
However I'm unable to ascertain why. VS builds it fine and I can run it from the CLI. I can also run Core fine through VSCode.
I've tried:
Deleting project.lock.json
Deleting the .vs folder
Repairing the .NET Core install
Repairing the VS 2015 install
Uninstalling and reinstalling .NET Core/SDK/Tooling & VS
Rebooting
And it still refuses to work!
I've raised this on the Core Tooling GitHub as well as can be seen here but as yet we're all a little stumped.
There are some people who have problems with Internet Explorer and Visual Studio.
Attempt to install Internet Explorer 9, or set a different default browser.
Other approaches:
Was the data path checked?
Perhaps there are wrong configured environment variables?
Are you sure that the configuration was reset by the installation?
Perhaps the path for the temporary data has been changed?
Try re-installing needed redistributables, as they are needed for executing .Net Core on Windows, as it is stated here :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/windows-prerequisites
"NET Core requires the VC++ Redistributable when running on Windows"
If it don't work, add a try/catch at the highest level of your application and log all System.Exceptions that may occur. It may give you more informations about this error.
This error occurs if you change the name of the project. To work around this error You will have to delete all files under \object and \bin folders. After that rebuild application.
Restart the visual studio in administrator mode. This solved my problem.

VS2015: The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed

I have been using Visual Studio 2010 Pro for my vb.net desktop application development. I publish the apps via clickonce to a web server with ftp. My settings look like this:
Publishing folder location: ftp://www.webaddress.com/folder/
Installation folder : http://webaddress.com/folder/
This works perfect in VS2010.
I am now trying to upgrade to Visual Studio 2015 community edition. When I try to publish my app, I get the error "The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed". I am getting this error on both computers I have installed VS2015 on.
Strangely enough, there isn't much info on this error. The only solution I've seen is to repair the installation. I did this but still a no go.. Another cause I read about is having Xamarin installed, but I have never had that installed.
Has anybody run into this and know what the fix is??
EDIT:
It appears to not actually have anything to do with installed components. After I posted this question, I realized the publish via FTP had worked earlier on a little sample Hello World project i made (brain fart). It was only once I loaded my existing project that this error started showing up.
I closed the solution, created another simple project, and still got the error. I closed visual studio, reopened the sample project, and ftp worked! I then opened my existing project and ftp worked there too?! So I don't know what the trigger is, and I haven't had it fail again yet, but maybe this info will help figure out what is causing the failure.
EDIT (3/30/2017)
Just an update - I am still having this issue. This issue happens on visual studio 2013, 2015, and 2017. I have tried reinstalling the c++ redistributable, still nothing. It seems others are having this issue with a web project but mine is a desktop app publishing with clickonce via FTP. It must be something to do with solution I am working on that was originally created in 2010, as the issue is not present in any other project.
I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2017. What fixed it for me was to start the Visual Studio Installer and install the ".NET Core cross-platform development" workload.
I had the same issue in Visual Studio 2015 / Update 3. It was resolved after installing the 32-bit version of Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
See also https://github.com/aspnet/Tooling/issues/748
I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2015. And Publish used to work fine so I went going crazy looking for and trying different solutions. Then I read on another thread of doing a Setup-> Repair (submitted by Erikest). I did a Setup->Repair and the publish process now works! I think it's also possible that the Repair not only did the trick on the FTP components but also replaced the C++ redistributable (often mentioned as a solution to this problem),
This is a total work around, but I've noticed I get this error every time I open my app (that originated in VS2010) and try to publish without first opening a sample app. I created a new project and published it to my FTP server. When I receive this error, I close Visual studio, reopen and the open the sample project, publish that app, then open my real app. The publish then works.
This works every time, and seems to be a bug in Visual studio, and probably has something to do with the fact that my app was originally built in 2010.
Maybe this will help somebody else with the same issue. It's a big pain so hopefully MS gets a fix in for this.
I have been banging my head against this problem for many months, re-installed VS over and over and just did a clean install of Windows 10 in the hope it would work but to no avail. By chance I cleaned some old .accdb files from the App_Data folder that I no longer need since I converted to SQL Server database and FTP publishing now works.
So it seems VS does not like the .accdb files but was happy with .mdb files when publishing with FTP.
As soon as I put the file back in App_Data the problem returns. Hope this is some help.
I had the same issue here, I was using the Publish right click option on the project, which had been working fine. What fixed it for me was going back through the publish options and re-testing the connection. Publish seemed to work after that. Maybe it forgot a password or settings?
I also installed the x86 C++ Redistribution Package.
Hope this helps someone who is in the same boat.
After many successful website publishes with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, we experienced the "components for communicating with ftp servers are not installed" issue. :(
First attempt at resolution was uninstalling VS Community 2015, then installing VS Community 2017. Received the same error: "components for communicating with ftp servers are not installed" when attempting to publish our business website.
With some work, we found that by uninstalling Microsoft Web Deploy and re-installing, this seemed to fix the problem. We can now use Visual Studio > Publish function to our ftp without problems.
See this link for download of Microsoft Web Deploy components.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43717
Dont know what broke this VS IDE functionality, but hope this fix helps some.
I encountered the same error with Visual Studio 2019
I fixed it by using the Visual Studio Installer to install the Web Deploy (inc .netcore 2.1) under individual components
I just did a simple "repair installation" in the installer. Worked for me.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 and had this problem for a while.
The problem went away after I updated about 10 NuGet updates that were over due.
I had the same problem, I closed all the open windows I closed Visual Studio and then I opened again and published and then it worked!

Visual Studio 2013: Database Project MSBuild error

I've got a database project as part of my solution in Visual Studio 2013. Been working perfectly for the last 3 weeks and now suddenly today it won't build and so I cannot publish any changes. I'm getting an MSBuild error:
"C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets(513,5):
Error: MSB4018: The "SqlBuildTask" task failed unexpectedly.
System.MethodAccessException: Attempt by method 'Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Build.SqlTaskHost.OnCreateCustomSchemaData(System.String,
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2)'
to access method
'Microsoft.Data.Tools.Components.Diagnostics.SqlTracer.ShouldTrace(System.Diagnostics.TraceEventType)'
failed."
Anyone got any ideas? All I did this morning was pull down the latest changes from source control. I can't see how that would mess up the actual MSBuild process, and the guy who checked in last doesn't have any issues at all.
You need to install the last version of SQL Server Data Tools:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/data/hh297027
Make sure to restart VS and then build the solution again. This solves the problem!
In Visual Studio 2013 -> Tools -> Extensions and Updates... -> Updates -> Product Updates -> Microsoft SQL Server Update for database to 12.0.50318.0
I was upgrading from 12.0.41012.0 and this resolved my issue. This relates to the answer to install the latest SQL Server Data Tools.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2013.
I had same error:
You can fix it by updating the SQL Server Tools:
Tools --> Extensions and Updates
Then under Product Updates you will see an option to update SQL Server Update.
Click on Update, after it has installed restart Visual Studio.
Try:
Install the latest DacFx from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43370
Reinstall the latest SSDT from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=393521
Source: VS2013 SqlBuildTask 04018 Error
I searched "Visual Studio 2013 Update 2" in MSDN subscriber downloads and it was there
Also I filed a bug with MS
VS2013 SqlBuildTask 04018 Error Please up vote it if you are getting the same problem
I had the same issue. I tried to repair Visual Studio 2013, update 4, SSDT, the DAC tools, etc., but it didn't work any better.
However I noticed the Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets file present in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\SSDT was dated from 2013 (In fact it corresponded to the old SSDT). So what I did is just copy the new one (which I suprisingly found in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\SSDT ...) over to this v12.0\SSDT folder, restarted Visual Studio 2013 and now it works. For information, that new SSDT targets file is dated from 2014/10/26 and its size is 75437 bytes.
It turns out the issue was with Visual Studio Update 3. I uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2013 to Update 2 only and reinstalled Data Tools and it works perfectly now.
I already had the newest Version of SQL Data Tools installed, but after installing VS2015 RC it stopped to work. After run a repair on SSDT it compiles again with success.
I had Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 installed and was having this issue. I followed these steps from above and that fixed the issue for me -->
In Visual Studio 2013 -> Tools -> Extensions and Updates... -> Updates -> Product Updates -> Microsoft SQL Server Update for database to 12.0.50730.0
I had the same issue and just restart the Visual Studio and it works for me.
I experienced the same issue with a slightly different stack trace:
Error MSB4018: The "SqlBuildTask" task failed unexpectedly.
System.IO.IOException: The file exists.
Turns out this is a issue with the Temp directory for the service account I was using, I think if you exceed X number of folders/files in that directory the publish will no longer work. Fixed this issue by following the instructions mentioned here (for my service account):
Go start-> run
Type %temp% and click ok
Make sure you are in the folder /Local/Temp
Delete everything in this folder
If it helps anybody, I installed VS2014 CTP 3, and I can build from it. Interestingly after a successfull build in vs2014, the next time you build in VS2013 it works. But subsequent builds in VS2013 dont work, until you rebuild in VS2014.
I was able to fix the issue by repairing Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools and re-starting Visual Studio 2013.
Control Panel > Right Click: "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" > Click: "Repair" > Re-Start Visual Studio
I had the same issue. Running disk check and then rebooting fixed it.
I got the same error and fix it by re-install Visual Studio 2015
I had this problem and fixed it like this:
install the latest DacFx from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43370
Delete the Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets file from C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\SSDT
repair SQL Server Data Tools 2013 , reset visual studio()
