I had a similar problem   After checking ActivityLog xml and it said that it could not create an instance for the Extension package name from a specific folder  I traced that path and I didn t find that folder it is looking for   So I installed the extension again  I looked for the dll  and copied the containing folder contents to the folder Visual Studio is looking for    So to recap    Check if the folder in the error exists If not  create a new folder with the same name Look for the dll in the error in the Visual Studio folder  if not found  install the extension again If the error resists  search inside the Visual Studio folder in Program Files  x86  for the dll and open the containing folder Copy all the contents Paste inside the new folder you have created with the name mentioned inside the ActivityLog xml

I just wanted to mention that I got a similar error in SQL Server Management Studio 2016  where I basically ignored it  Later  I launched Visual Studio  2015   and this error occurred there as well   I searched and found the answer here recommending that files be deleted from the   localappdata  Microsoft VisualStudio 14 0 ComponentModelCache   folder  However  in my case  this folder was empty   Since I remembered that I saw the error in Management Studio first  I checked  and there was a similar folder at   localappdata  Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 13 0 ComponentModelCache   This folder was not empty  I closed both Visual Studio and Management Studio  and deleted the files from this folder   Afterwards  both Management Studio and Visual Studio launched without error
