Hi.
It's been days I'm experiencing problems; it all started when the "Add Controller" context menu was missing for MVC 5 project, so I decided to Repair the installation and then unisntall and reinstall fro sctatch... I've tried these things more than one, but nothing changed. On top of all, now whe I try to create a new WebProject it VS gives me this error (translated manually by me, the original exception being in Italian, even if VS is English...):
Can't load the type 'Microsoft.VisualStutio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.AzureResourceCreationType" from the assembly "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts, Version=2.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken={GUID}'
I've already tried to add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts manually to the GAC
Activity.log has the following errors.
I don't know what to do next :(
Many thanks,
Lorenzo
