I'm facing this issue when start Visual Studio 2019 new installation:

Microsoft Visual Studio

The 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' package did not load correctly.

The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\Users\E0509783_LAR\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_cabeeb93\ActivityLog.xml'.

Restarting Visual Studio could help resolve this issue.

Continue to show this error message?

Yes No

Does anyone idea how to solve?

Thank you in advance.

Luis

The solution with the most upvotes in this post worked for me. I had multiple partially uninstalled instances of Visual Studio 2019 and 2022. As a result, I had multiple 16.0_xxxxxxxx and 17.0_xxxxxxxx folders. I kept the most recent folders and deleted the others, and VS opens with no error message.

Yes, I had the same problem as yours and I solved it by repairing it from the Visual Studio Installer. You can try

I've been getting this exact same issue for a couple of weeks now on my local dev with vs2022 - it just started.

Tried repairing and re-installing to no avail. Then yesterday VS stopped loading any projects targeting anything other than .net framework.

Last line in the ActivityLog.XML showed: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {177F0C4A-1CD3-4DE7-A32C-71DBBB9FA36D} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied.

So I restarted VS2022 in admin mode and problems went away. not sure why mine started in the first case as I'm sure I used to start in admin mode from the start.
