Visual Studio Community Edition - Error on creating ribbon for Excel Workbook project

Hi. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now so I hope someone can help me.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition. On installation there was no option to include VSTO and, looking on various forums, I found it was necessary to install the VSTO - November 2014 update separately, which I have done. I'm working on a
brand new virtual server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and no other versions of Visual Studio have been installed (although I'm surprised to see Visual Studio 2012 as an item in All Programs - but it just contains command prompts).
I have created an Excel Workbook project. When I go to create a new item - Ribbon (Designer) - I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.Implementation, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've searched the Internet for anyone who might have had this same issue but have been unable to find anything to help me. I've tried uninstalling the VSTO-November Update and VS 2013 CE and reinstalling both but still the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
David.

Hello David,
What Office version do you have installed on the problematic machine?
Do you run Visual Studio as an administrator?

  • Cannot install Visual Studio Community Edition

    Hi,
    When trying to install Visual Studio Community Edition with Update 4 I receive a message during the initial phase: "Unable to locate package source"
    When I choose "Download packages from the internet" I got the same message. When I continue with the option "Skip package" I got the message again.
    What is the issue here?
    Thanks!

    The file seems to be corrupt. This time I got an error after 2% of the download saying that the download was interrupted. After clicking resume it just took seconds before the download seemed to has finished correctly. But probably not... Could the download
    issue maybe has something to do with the fact I am in Thailand, or what could be the issue here?
    By the way, when I try to download Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web using Web Platform Installer I receive this error:
    WHY do I get this error. I don't have Visual Studio installed...
    Thanks!

  • Offline copy of SQL Database in Visual Studio Community Edition?

    I'm using an Azure Mobile Service and SQL database, and I'm interacting with it via Visual Studio Community Edition (12.0.31101.00 Update 4).
    I'm often offline, but want to work on and test the SQL code.  Is there a way to sync a local copy of the database to my pc so I can work with that to test my code?  I'm not necessarily looking to make changes to the database offline and syncing
    that back to the server, although that would be nice too.
    Thanks!

    Hello Scott,
    You could use SQL Data Sync to synchronize your local copy of the database with the Azure SQL database. The details are documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh456371.aspx. 
    PS - the SQL Data Sync feature is still in preview and the support is only through forums.

  • Cannot install Visual Studio Community 2013 - Error message "Visal Studio 2013 Ultimate is installed..."

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Visual Studio Community 2013 in my machine but when I start the setup process I get the followingerror message:
    Setup Blocked
    Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 is currently installed on this machine. Please uninstall Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 and retry.
    The problem is that I used to have VS Ultimate 2013 (Preview Edition, I think) installed on my machine but I've uninstalled it some time ago. It looks like something was left over in process.
    What I've tried to do was to install VS Ultimate 2013 again, perform a repair operation and then uninstall it again. This uninstall process is reported to be successful. However, it did not solve my problem: VS Community 2013 installation still fails.
    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
    Thank you,
    João Pedro

    "I used to have VS Ultimate 2013 (Preview Edition, I think) installed "
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this sort of situation is exactly why potential users of pre-release software are warned NOT to install test software on production systems. While a new software version is in development, one of the LAST things to
    be finalized is the uninstaller. So, uninstalling a test edition often leaves behind unwanted artifacts.
    In your situation, I'd do a clean install of my OS, then install VS.

  • C# & Visual Studio Community

    Searching the forum w/queries for where to post is nauseating. Why doesn't anything for C# of Visual Studio show up? I have no idea where to ask except to post here in 'Where in the forum ...' trying to get pointed in the right direction.
    Not to go negative, but this is so snafu for MS. Extremely frequent where a huge subject is absolutely not found where you would think it is. Current example: in these forums. Am I supposed to ask under the 'blogs' section??
    My question pertains to an error in Visual Studio Community when programming a Windows Forms application in C#. If this is the right place to ask, after solving many other errors by using the internet, I have one remaining error.
    My problem specifies that I create a separate class for PresentationGUI. My other classes are Housing, SingleFamily, MultiUnit and HousingAPP. The error, in PresentationGUI, is 'The name InitializeComponent does not exist in the current context.' Yes, I
    can find numerous "hits" online re: that error but they all seem to relate to programming problems way over my head, with applications I have not heard of.
    Can anyone inform me where in the Technet forums I should post? Or is this the place?
    Thank you in advance,
    Mac

    Hello,
    Mike pointed you to the Visual C# Language forum.

    Hi Arend,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance
    Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. Based on your issue, I think that the issue is more related to the programming. So I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue.
    To help you find the correct forum for this issue, could you please tell
    me which kind of app you want to create? Is it winform app or others?
    If you want to code for a winform app using c# language, I suggest you
    can consult your question on specific
    WinForm forum so that they can share you something for you to start.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Help, I can't sign in to Visual Studio Community 2013 "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

    Hi, can anyone help me further diagnose?
    On Windows 7 64-bit, whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then  "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
    I installed the 2013 update 4 just recently (3/23)
    I was getting this error back in February

    Hi HuggyPaul,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    >>whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then  "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
    Based on your issue, I suggest you could try to use an another microsoft live-in user account to sign in the Visual Studio Community 2013 to check if you can sign in the VS2013 Community with update 4.
    Or you could try to use same user account to sing same version of VS2013 Communty with Update 4 on other machien and the check if you can sign in this VS 2013 Community with update 4.
    (1)If you could sign in the VS2013 Community update4 by the another user account on your machien, I think that the issue maybe related to your user account.
    (2)If you still could not sign in VS 2013 Community update 4, maybe you will need to repair or re-install this VS2013 Community with update 4.
    In addition, please tell me what browser you use on your machine.
    If your machien just insatall other browser such as chrome, please try to install the IE and then check this issue again.
    From this error message, i find a similar thread about your issue, maybe it can help you.

  • Cannot sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 to extend lincence - VS attempts to start Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    I noticed that my trial period for VS Community 2013 expired. While waiting for my company to get a real purchased licence I have to continue working one way or another. I would like to extend my licence by signing into the VS community. However, the MS
    Internet Explorer is disabled by company policy due to safety issues. Now, VS Community 2013 only and always attempts to open MS Explorer whenever I try to sign in, or check for updated versions, or whatever. I cannot find a workaround to open the links in
    another browser but MS Explorer.
    Please help me to extend my licence so I can keep working! I cannot (!) ever use the MS Explorer for this, so I need to find another solution. Any suggestions, please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nadja

    Hi Nadja,
    As you said that when you sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 without using the
    MS Internet Explorer browser, but you cannot sign into successfully Visual Studio Community 2013.
    So could you please provide me the detailed error message after you sing in the Visual Studio Community 2013?
    What browser you use to sing in this VS Community 2013?
    Generally, I know that we can sign in this VS Community 2013 successfully using the default MS Internet Explorer browser.
    So if possible, I suggest you could try to enable MS Internet Explorer browser and then try to sign in this VS Community 2013 check this issue again.
    In addition, I suggest you could also try to sing in a Microsoft web page such as a Hotmail email using your browser and then check if you could sing in successfully.
    However, I suggest you could try to consult about how to extend license for this VS Community 2013 by
    calling 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing
    specialist, and you can get more detail information from there. You can also visit the following site for more information and support on licensing issues:

  • Visual studio community with external program - license

    Hello. I have a question about using Visual Studio Community. Are the license allows to use Visual Studio community to only write (and testing) an application/game and then building it using external program for example Eclipse or Xcode for commercial purposes?
    I create for Android/IOS systems, and working in small 2 persons team.
    Sorry for my English, thanks.

    Can you give me an email from Microsoft licensing specialist?
    @ Metoby,
    Sorry for that I also have no email of the license memebers.
    In addition, you know that this forum is to discuss the English language issue, so I provide the license call for the English support.
    If you want to use other language, one idea is that you could post this issue to your local country if it also have the MSDN site.

  • Develop streaming data processing applications in C# with Stream Computing Platform and Storm in HDInsight. Can this be done with Visual Studio Community sign up?

    Hello,
    I am a  student and love the Visual Studio Community 2013 to implement some of my research projects. I am currently working on a project that involves streaming data analysis. I found this article ( http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-hadoop-storm-scpdotnet-csharp-develop-streaming-data-processing-application/
    ) but do not have MSDN subscription (I cannot afford it)  as required in the article. Can this be done somehow with Visual Studio Community 2013 sign up?
    Thank you all in advance for your time and for your help.
    J.K.W

    Hi,
    I just confirmed that the key with Visual Studio Community is that, although it is free like Express, it does not have the limitations that Visual Studio Express had. So, to answer your question, Yes - you can do all your development work as a student with
    VS Community 2013 sign up. You can also refer to this blog for more details -

  • How to download setup file for visual studio community?

    i want to download a copy of visual studio community but web based installation system taking too much time.....i have to continuously run my computer for at least 2 days to completely install the package.....where can i get the setup file which can be
    downloaded like any other file from internet?

    Your other option would be to download the ISO, which will also take a long time on a slow Internet connection. Once you have the ISO, you can check the SHA-1 to confirm that you got a valid download. Then, you can install locally much faster than with the
    web installer over your connection.
    You can get the ISO here: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9863609
