Visual Studio 2019 startup "The 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' package did not load correctly."

Question

I'm facing this issue when start Visual Studio 2019 new installation:

Microsoft Visual Studio

The 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' package did not load correctly.

The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\Users\E0509783_LAR\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_cabeeb93\ActivityLog.xml'.

Restarting Visual Studio could help resolve this issue.

Yes No

Does anyone idea how to solve?

Thank you in advance.

The solution with the most upvotes in this post worked for me. I had multiple partially uninstalled instances of Visual Studio 2019 and 2022. As a result, I had multiple 16.0_xxxxxxxx and 17.0_xxxxxxxx folders. I kept the most recent folders and deleted the others, and VS opens with no error message.
