Cannot Load Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0

[IcodeNet]

When trying to install in
Microsoft Visual Studio Premium 2012
Version 11.0.61030.00 Update 4
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50938

I get the following error from the logs:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.



From investigation this has to do with this:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.[version]: this one confuses people a lot. How this particular assembly works is for each version of Visual Studio that ships, a new assembly name (with the version in the assembly) is made. Then, in future versions of the Visual Studio, we ship a newer version of the assembly that you target. [ So again, make sure you're targeting Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.[version] with the lowest version you intend to support.]

Can we please maintain support for VS 2012?
