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

Hi Angie and thank you for your reply!
I had already tried that solution (Install and reinstall Asure SDKs) but it didnt work; finally I've been able to fix everythig just a couple of minutes ago :)
I had to "/unistall /force" VS 2013, delete everything from the FileSystem "ProgramFiles(x86)" and "\Users\xxx\AppData" and Registry; then I repaired the old installation of VS2010 (which was broken after the "/uninstall /force" of VS2013), then reinstall VS 2013, delete every entry in \windows\Microsoftr.net\Assembly\*\Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding.
Finally (after days) it works as expected, but it's been an huge work.

HI Lorenzo,
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}'According to the error message above, you need install Windows Azure SDK for .NET in VS 2013. You can get the Azure SDK for the site below.
SDKs: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.
Best regards,
Angie
