After some automatic Windows updates, I was unable to open my SSIS projects in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
The following error was shown: The type initializer for ‘Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.SharedIcons’ threw an exception.
After a google search, I found the following solution at:
Solution
Download and install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2861107
SQLServer2012_SP1_CU5_2861107_11_0_3373_x64.
(The hotfix is 780MB, say what?!)

Dank je Roel 🙂
I had updated SQL Server to CU9 and I still have the same problem.
My SQL Server version is 11.03412 and Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
Please, help me.
Regards.
I have the same issue as Edel. Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 which can’t create a project. I’ve uninstalled / re-installed the application and it’s still bricked.
Thought I’d share for anyone else who had this problem. One of my co-workers was having this issue in VS 2012 SP5. A lot of the SQL 2012 hot fixes were for much older versions so we installed SP3 for SQL 2012. Everything started working just fine after that.
