title: Visual Studio 2013 crashing on start
body: <p>I have just installed VS 2013 pro on a new laptop and when I try and open an existing project or create a new one, it fails to load. I then open it in a new version of the debugger and get these errors.</p>
  
  <p>With opening an existing project I get</p>
  
  <pre><code>System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
  Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.dll
  Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
  
  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.pdb contains the debug information required to find the source for the module Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.dll
  Try one of the following options: - Change existing PDB and binary search paths and retry
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try and create a new project I get a similar error </p>
  
  <pre><code>System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
  Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizard.dll
  Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

  <p>I also noticed that VS is creating the solution folder and the .sln file in the folder above it, but then nothing, the solution folder is empty after the crash</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea why this might be happening but seems something to do with the install or maybe path information getting mixed up from a previous install. (It had VS 2013 shell installed before I installed 2013 pro)</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
