Error when starting VS 2010: The 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.ServicesHostPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.TeamExplorer, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' package did not load correctly

I tried to open Visual Studio 2010, and was met with the following error message:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.ServicesHostPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.TeamExplorer, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' 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 running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file 'C:\Users\sl\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'.



Continue to show this error message?

Yes   No

The computer used to run the following software:

  • Team Foundation Server 2010 (probably with SP1)
  • Visual Studio 2010 with SP1

Since then, I've done the following:

  • Uninstalled TFS 2010 and everything related, and upgraded to TFS 2013.
  • Kept VS 2010, and installed VS 2013 side-by-side.

My problem was solved after I did the following:

  • Installed Team Explorer from the TFS 2010 disc image.
  • Reapplied VS 2010 SP1.
