Azure Sdk for vs2013.4 does not work

It all started a few days ago when I began getting this error when starting vs2013:

enter image description here

That was for no apparent reason, I installed no new extensions nor update any of the existing. Didn't change any setting either.

The ActivityLog.xml shows the following:

  </entry>

So far I have tried:

None of this worked and I can't find anything else on the web to try. Completely stumped.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks.

From the responsible team at MSFT: We haven’t identified the root cause of this issue yet, but this solution usually works in the interim.

  1. Close Visual Studio

  2. Find and Uninstall the Azure Resource Manager Tools (VS XX) - vX.X gwmi win32_product | ? {$.Name -Like "Azure Resource Manager Tools*"} | % {msiexec /x $.IdentifyingNumber /qb}

  3. Repair the matching Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 20XX - vX.X" (You can also do this from ARP) gci "$env:ProgramData\Package Cache\MicrosoftAzureTools.*.exe" -Recurse | % {. $_.FullName /modify}
