Visual Studio 2012 RC Doesn't work

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Im running windows 8 and when I try to create a C# project in it I get the following error:
"The project <name> could not be created because Microsoft visual C# 2012 compiler could not be created." (Something similar to this)

All this started happening when I installed Visual Studio 2010 for Windows Phone. I did that because at first I just had Visual Studio Express for Windows 8. I try uninstalling everything (from control panel and even the framework and .Net)and then install Visual Studio 2012 RC and still had the same error with the C# 2012 compiler.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

P.S. I also have Office 365 installed.
