VS 2012 on Windows 7

Microsoft is great in many things but the application/version handling is mediocre. I got really frustrated with the Visual Studio 2012 crashes everytime I opened a project:

I read that this might be about different fields in assemblies that are not installed in proper order and was advised to install Visual Studio 2012 SP1 at the following location:

 yawn!

 It worked!! Things seem to be working normal now. Also, switch to the "Dark Theme" looks really cool!

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

You see this:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. This is happening because the cached installer is missing (in my case due to running a scan on folder sizes, seeing this particular windows folder with all the uninstallers (the cache) and removing them.)


Use this:

Uninstall the program that is causing trouble using the tool and voila.

npm nuget or other repository problems

I was experiencing an issue where my nuget packages would not restore the dlls. I would get Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Entity' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data' (are you missing an assembly reference?) as the error but it would say all nuget packages are already installed. I followed the sage advice of deleting everything in c:\users\\.nuget\packages as well as the packages folder in solution and force a restore. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34543267/nuget-does-not-unpack-assemblies-from-package I believe this could be applied to all package repositories in case this type of problems are faced. By the way, check out Artifactory if your environment is hostile to public yum, apt-get, npm, nuget or any other repositories.
