Phalanger error in Visual Studio

I have installed Phalanger from http://phalanger.codeplex.com/ and installed Phalanger Tools from the built-in market-place function in my Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate distribution. After doing this, every time I boot start Visual Studio I get a dialog-box with the error:

If I examine ActivityLog.xml I find the following errors (all other elements omitted):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="ActivityLog.xsl"?>

Does anyone have a take on what I could do to relieve this?

Solution

It seams, you have PHP Tools for Visual Studio, not Phalanger Tools. Also it is possible you installed PHP Tools in addition to Phalanger Tools.

Try to uninstall both, and install Phalanger Tools only.
