From Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, uninstall "SQL Server Data Tools 2013". Then re-install VS 2013 Update 1.

If the solution works, then you can try to reinstall SSDT by using the standalone installer.

Which update of Visual Studio 2013 you have? As described here Update 2 CTP 1 has known issues and not recommended to install for LightSwitch development.
