I installed Windows 8 beta and Visual Studio 11 beta on two differenct systems. Installations were OK. Number format Finnish (decimal separator is ,)

I were not able to start VS on either of these machines.
When starting VS says :
The 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation.EditorPackage' package did not load correctly

ActivityLog.xml has this entry
<entry>
    <record>83</record>

Eben better is the Microsoft Visual Team sollution

Keep your Format and under "Advanced Settings", go to the "Number formats" and change the negative number sign to “-“ (U+002D).

Thanks Microsoft :)

Thanks, solved the isue also on mine VS 11.
Changed
Regional->Formats tab-> Format: English(United States)

When puting back to Slovenian problem re-emerges,
when changing back to English for second time,
I did not delite anytihing "VSWinExpress" folders and VS 11 with " New Project " started fine.

Thanks Bogdan

Thanks for reporting this issue.

We are aware of the problem and have come up with a fix. We expect the fix to be present for the next release of Visual Studio 11.

If you want to keep your locale, you can use the following workaround:
Close your Visual Studio 11 instances

In the Control Panel under "Advanced Settings", go to the "Number formats" and change the negative number sign to “-“ (U+002D).

Delete the files under
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
and
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Extensions\*.cache

If you skipped loading any package, you'll have to run:
devenv /resetskippkgs from the command line

Your Visual Studio 11 should work in your locale now.

Thanks
Carl Brochu, Visual Studio Team

Thank you for the solution!

It seems that you may have to execute devenv /ResetSkipPkgs after changing the culture settings in addition to deleting the roaming folder.

The same here. I'm using VS 11 Ultimate on W8 Consumer Preview 32-bit, slovenian number format.
Changing to english format and deleting the AppData/local|roaming/Microsoft/Visual Studio folders worked, thanks!
