Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.Windows.Design.Host"

Hi all,

I'm trying to make Visual Studio 2012  work with CRM Developer Tools. Basically, the problem is that, when I create a new CRM Packet and try to connect to the target Organization, I use to get the following error:

fsdfsdfsdf.png

I did an investigation about this error and I found that I need to enable Microsoft Identity Foundation and Modify Denev.Exe to add the following lines:

<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Windows.Design.Host" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.0.0.0-4.1.0.0" newVersion="4.2.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>

However, after doing this I keep getting the same error. Before installing VS 12 I installed VS 15 but since there's no "Offical" way to install CRM developer tools for this version I had to install the 2012.

CRM Developer tools 2012 and Microsoft.CrmDeveloperTools are installed. I tried to install it in VS 2013 but I get the same error...

Any workarounds? 

Thanks in advance.
