Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 weird error on startup

I'm using Visual Studio C++ 2010 and I've been using it for about 3 months now. Recently, It refused to start, giving me a "Operation could not be solved" error whenever I tried to do that. I tried reinstalling and now it's saying "Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version = 4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies . Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003(E_POINTER))"

Please help, I'm unable to open the program at all, and I can't program anything in windows until I get this fixed. I suspect it's something in the registry but I don't really know.

suggestion to narrow down your issue

  1. Download .NET Framework Verification Tool to verify whether .NET Framework 4 is installed correctly on your machine or not.

  2. If it verified successfully, could you please type Devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs to skip loading added to VSPackages. More info about this.

Take care.
