visual studio 2010 could not load file or assembly

Question

I know there is plenty of question on that subject, but I didn't find any useful answer about my problem.

I got a project from a co-worker using mercurial. Now when i open the project I cannot open any C# file and I get the following message:

Could not load file or assembly, 'Microsoft.MSXML, Version =8.0.0.0,Culture = Neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03ff5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The file specified is unfindable.

Any idea? I don't know exactly what is in the code, in fact I've never see or programmed the code until now, but I know the code is working and my co-worker manage to make a installer and the software is working fine.

Answer 2

There was a problem inside Visual Studio 2010.

My resolution was:

1. I tried to create a basic C# applicaiton but the same error message pop-up

2. I tried to re-open a old project that I used to work on but the same error message pop-up.

So I used the following utility . I made a fresh install and how everything is working. I don't think it is the most efficient solution , but it worked.

Simply delete all folders in this path then rebuild your project.
