After updating to visual studio 2013, TFS update 3 no longer works

After upgrading to Visual Studio 2013 Upgrade 3, all TFS components are corrupted. If I open a pending modified window it will indicate

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): The HRESULT E_FAIL error was ... Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsShell5.LoadPackageWithContext ...

If I try to open any tfs related solution, I get an exception:

Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.HatPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl, Version = 12.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = b03f5f7f11d50a3a' could not be loaded

An exception is thrown for each project and none of the projects will be loaded for the solution, making it unusable.

Trying to login to VS Team Services also doesn't work. Nothing happens when you press the login button.

Has anyone else had this problem? I tried to repair the installation and that didn't work either.

Ok, I figured out the problem. When I googled visual studio update 3, the first item takes you to the microsoft download site for update 3, which I think is only good for the basic version of visual studio. I am using visual studio 2013 ultimate which has a separate download for update 3. After installing update 3 for final, it now works. The other system I installed it on was the professional version, so it could work there.

I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate after applying Update 5. This article solved my problem:

TeamFoundation.VersionControl.HatPackage failed to load



I needed to download and install Team Explorer for VS 2013 and everything works great!
