WEC 2013 Wave 6 - the 'PBDbgPkg Package' package did not load correctly

Question

I updated Windows Embedded Compact 2013 to Wave 6. Now when I open any OS design I'm getting message "The 'PBDbgPkg Package' package did not load correctly." and reference to ActivityLog.xml.

In ActivityLog.xml I have:
<entry>
<record>565</record>
<time>2021/08/10 14:38:49.241</time>
<type>Error</type>
<source>VisualStudio</source>
<description>No InprocServer32 registered for package [PBDbgPkg Package]</description>
<guid>{99D5D114-BAAB-4E24-A5AF-155D289837B8}</guid>
<hr>800736b1</hr>
<errorinfo></errorinfo>
<path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Platform Builder\8.00\cepb\bin\PBDbgPkg.dll</path>
</entry>

Also the "Target" toolbar is disabled/grayed out.

I already tried following commands to solve this problem:
devenv.exe /clearcache
devenv /updateconfiguration

I have the same problem on two machines updated to Wave 6.

Do you have idea how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

I found the solution.
The problem was the missing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable which is required for PBDbgPkg.dll.
