I have tried debugging DLL in Visual Studio 2013 Pro and I keep getting these errors

Could not load file or assembly 'VSPerfControl.Interop, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a

I have been stuck with this for a while and I would appreciate any comments. The MSDN website talks only about VS premium so I am not sure if profiling dll actually works on Professional

Problem was resolved by re-installing it in default folder. – Nenu
So at first you've installed the Visuals studio in a directory rather than it's default option? – Siav Josep
@SiavJosep It's been a while. Yes I think I was installing it on a different drive due to space limitations. – Nenu
It seems that it has been the case for me as well. By re-installing the VS the issue got resolved. Also, please add your solution as an answer. It will make it easier for others to obtain this. – Siav Josep

The problem can be resolved without a re-install

You need to do:

1 - Open the Start menu, by pressing the Windows logo key Windows logo on your keyboard for example.

2 - On the Start menu, enter dev. This will bring a list of installed apps that match your search pattern. If you're looking for a different command prompt, try entering a different search term such as prompt.

3 - Choose the Developer Command Prompt (or the command prompt you want to use) - RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

4 - Now you have to check if the VSPerfControl.Interop is in this path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools

5 - If isn't there, you have to re-install. If is there, you have to go to this path with your command prompt (cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools)

6 - After this, you have to execute this command line:

gacutil /i VSPerfControl.Interop.dll

Now re-open Visual Studio and be happy!!!
