JSONPackage did not load correctly

Posted on November 26, 2014 by erictummers

Solution found on Chris Miller’s blog.

After some system cleanup my Visual Studio would complain about the JSONPackage when I wanted to open a file with a specific editor.
jsonpackage.did.not.load.correctly
This was the first message in a range

  • CreateInstance failed for package [JSONPackage]
  • CreateInstance failed for package [ScssPackage]
  • CreateInstance failed for package [LessPackage]

As Chris advises I renamed the ComponentModelCache folder and started Visual Studio. The folder was recreated and the problem was resolved.
