Visual studio 2012 cannot load assembly

I'm trying to build a VB.net project which is already working in another system. I'm facing the below issue.

Reference.svcmap: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

kindly help me Im very new to this.

Hatjhie's solution worked like charm.

Path to reach to the checkbox "Reuse types in references assemblies" is as below:

  1. Find the Reference.svcmap file.
  2. Right click on Reference.svcmap. Choose Configure Service Reference..
  3. You should be able to find "Reuse types in references assemblies" checkbox

This might help you http://alanfeekery.com/2012/09/03/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-error-in-visual-studio-2012/

I think the best solution is on Chris Towles blog, just adjust your Service Reference Settings to disable “Reuse types in references assemblies”. Problem solved.
