Visual Studio 2012 Designer Error
I am developing a Windows Store application. An exception suddenly occurred when I open a XAML file
"<B> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException.
The application cannot be started. Try reinstalling the application to fix the problem. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CFC) "
What I have tried so far:
1. Restart your computer
2. Reinstall Visual Studio 2012 Final
3. Uninstall VS 2012 Ultimate and install VS2012 Express for Windows 8.
but still the same error.

, .
The same error occurred on my system.
Even I 1. Reboot the machine several times
2. Uninstall and reinstall VS 2012
But still I got the same error even in a new project.
Since I had no other option, I reinstalled Windows 8 after formatting my system.
Not sure if this was the best, but it worked for me.
Hope this helps :)

Hello,
I faced the same problem caused by the process of renewing a development license. You do not need to reinstall your windows or even a visual studio . This is what fixed my problem.
- Just go to PC settings
- Create a new user (Windows user)
- Login to the new user account that you created.
- Launch a visual studio and open the solution you were working on.
try this before moving on to reinstalling your windows.
This following website may help your problem, although the problem was in the old visual studio, but I doubt that it will fix the problem: here
OR, try putting this in a xaml file:
<ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <!-- Styles that define common aspects of the platform look and feel Required by Visual Studio project and item templates --> <ResourceDictionary Source="Common/StandardStyles.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <Style x:Key="BigGreenTextStyle" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/> <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="36"/> <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}"/> <Setter Property="TextTrimming" Value="WordEllipsis"/> <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/> <Setter Property="Typography.StylisticSet20" Value="True"/> <Setter Property="Typography.DiscretionaryLigatures" Value="True"/> <Setter Property="Typography.CaseSensitiveForms" Value="True"/> </Style> <x:String x:Key="AppName">HelloWorld</x:String> </ResourceDictionary> how to solve the constructor error problem.
