After performing an in place upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to 8 Pro I have been unable to get NuGet's package manager console to run in Visual Studio 2012 Pro. The error I receive is:
The following error occurred while loading the extended type data file: Microsoft.PowerShell.Core, C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\types.ps1xml(2977) : Error in type "System.Security.AccessControl.ObjectSecurity": Exception: The getter method should be public, non void, static, and have one parameter of type PSObject.

The term 'Get-ExecutionPolicy' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I have searched for the last several days for ways to fix this but have been coming up completely empty. I have tried all of these with no avail:
- Disabling all Visual Studio add ons
- Resetting all settings
- Reinstalling Visual Studio
- Repairing Visual Studio
- Starting PowerShell before Visual Studio (Does this just mean launch PowerShell and then launch Visual Studio?)
- Running both PowerShell and Visual Studio as admin
- Running Visual Studio in safe mode
- Setting Power Shell ExecutionProperty to unrestricted
Visual Studio has been exhibiting other odd behaviors such as consistently crashing while trying to add a Click event to XAML on a specific page as well, and because of this my gut says it's not really Power Shell or NuGet but an issue with my OS/Visual Studio.
Unless someone has a solution I think I'm down to just doing a clean install of Windows 8 and hoping that that fixes it.
