Unable to publish due to COM casting error 0x80004002

[EDN Admin]

Hi, I recently installed VS 2010 Premium. Since then I can not publish any of my projects due to this error,
Error 1 Publish failed with the following error: Unable to cast COM object of type System.__ComObject to interface type Microsoft.VisualStudiLE.Interop.IServiceProvider. This operation failed because the QueryInterface
call on the COM component for the interface with IID {6D5140C1-7436-11CE-8034-00AA006009FA} failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). 1
1 WindowsApplication1
I just created a new Visual Basic Windows forms application and without adding any code published the project. (I do get this in my previous working projects also).
Here is my System configuration
