AFAIK you can't create SharePoint 2010 solutions (package WSP) with VS2012 coz 2012 tools supports only SP2013 (csproj and project structure are very similar though).

You probably can build dll (library) with VS2012 and SP2010 referenced dlls and than use wspbuilder to create wsp targeting SP2013 (good compatibility with SP2013, will be deployed to 2010 hive).

I got it , this error coming when visual studio try to get assemblies from GAC related to SharePoint package designer, Just Install "Office Developer Tool for visual studio" via Microsoft web platform installer or visual studio, it will work

Thanks
