When I start up my solution, I get a Visual Studio message saying: "An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension.

You can get more information by examining the file: .../VisualStudio/11.0/ActivityLog.xml"

Looking at the xml, I see a few of these errors:

<entry>
<record>328</record>
<time>2015/01/08 03:41:41.703</time>
<type>Error</type>
<source>Editor or Editor Extension</source>

This problem can be due to an invalid cache built by Visual Studio. If you delete the cache it may fix the issue:

Close Visual Studio and then delete all files including sub directories:
C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\11.0\\ComponentModelCache\\*

and all .cache files in the following directory and its subdirectories:
C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\11.0\\Extensions\\*.cache

Visual Studio will rebuild those files when it starts up, and should resolve your problem.

Does this help?

I am experiencing the same warnings when starting Visual Studio. If I then continue to use Visual Studio, it will at some point crash while I am using the editor. Clearing the caches did not resolve the problem in my case.

Here is the info from the crash:

This is nasty, and very unwelcome. Can you try disabling and then enabling VA please, by going into:

IDE Tools menu -> Extensions and Updates...

finding and disabling Visual Assist, which will require an IDE restart. Then go back in and enable Visual Assist.

Does this make any difference?

Can you check and see if this is a solution specific problem, by making a new, default solution and see if you still get the problem?

If none of this helps, can you please look in:

IDE Tools menu -> Extensions and Updates...

what extensions do you have installed? On my test system I have:

Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows 8.1
Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone 8.1 XAML
Microsoft AST.NET and Web Tools
NuGet Package Manager
Visual Assist
Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for JavaScript

I am wondering if this could be an interaction problem between VA and another installed extension.

I have met the same trouble, according to the log file "ActivityLog.xml " I checked VAX.Interop.dll, but it was still exist, the only reason why it can not be loaded is that the related dlls were lost. after using tool "dependency walk"( http://www.dependencywalker.com/) I found some dlls (msvcr100.dll, msvcp100.dll) were not exist, after that I got vc runtime library "Vc Redist " and installed them, the problem was fixed.

Thank you for the update, I am glad you were able to find and fix the problem. The link is very interesting, thank you. It is good to know there is a modern version of depends from VC6 out there I have made a note of this link for future reference.
