visual-studio-2012

When I try to install any extension for visual studio ultimate 2012 on my new installation of Winodws 8 I get this exception :

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.ExternalSettingsManager.GetScopePaths(String applicationPath, String suffixOrName, String vsVersion, Boolean isLogged, Boolean isForIsolatedApplication) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.ExternalSettingsManager.CreateForApplication(String applicationPath) at VSIXInstaller.App.GetExtensionManager(SupportedVSSKU sku) at VSIXInstaller.App.GetExtensionManagerForApplicableSKU(SupportedVSSKU supportedSKU, IInstallableExtension installableExtension, List`1 applicableSKUs) at VSIXInstaller.App.InitializeInstall() at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.InnerInvoke() at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()

I tryed to repair VS, did not work, and also try to uninstall/install and got the same problem. Anybody as an idea?
