I also checked windows error logs :

How can I fix the problem ?

Edit:
The problem doesn't solve with re installing update 2.

Silly question I know, but have you tried disabling all extensions? It may be that one of the extensions is not functioning correctly with Update 2. — HeXanon, May 21 '14 at 06:00
I run devenv.exe in safe mode with `devenv /safemode`, but I got the error again. Safe mode must disable all extensions, I think so. — Mohammad Dayyan, May 21 '14 at 06:16
As far as I know yes - that disables all extensions. Do you always get the error regarding JSON? — HeXanon, May 21 '14 at 07:01
Yes, I do. But I don't think so the problem was related to extensions — Mohammad Dayyan, May 21 '14 at 07:04
Try and manually uninstall all JSON packages. Then at least you can identify if that is the cause or not. It could be that a re-install of JSON could solve the issue (maybe it will 'register' properly after Update 2 'broke' the registration). — HeXanon, May 21 '14 at 11:33
I couldn't resolve the problem until reinstalling windows os — Mohammad Dayyan, May 26 '14 at 12:09

The problem stems from the extension: "Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for Javascript." This was updated as part of VS 2013 Update 2.

If you uninstall this extension, the error messages should go away. This must be done from the "Programs and Features" control panel window outside of Visual Studio.

After uninstalling this and restarting Visual Studio, it will say that it is still installed (for me, anyways). However, the errors should go away.

This hit me yesterday with Update 4. I was able to fix it selecting a repair on "Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for Javascript" rather than a complete Uninstall using your method above. – Jon Comtois Nov 19 '14 at 18:17

Running VSE 2013 for Web, did Update 4, got above message: CreateInstance failed for package [JSONPackage] Checked Control Panel, I had VSE for JS v1.0.9200.20789 AS WELL AS and 2.1.30324.53 installed. First I uninstalled the older version, tried loading VSE, got same message. Then uninstalled other instance of newer version, got same message. Then tried "Repair" of Update 4, will see if that helps.

In my case VS2013 Update 5, I had exactly the same issue. I solved it uninstalling all the Resharper Extensions.

Resharper -> Extension Manager -> Installed extensions
