WPF designer error when selecting new WPF project

I'm getting the following error when I select a new WPF project.

Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131401)

If you get this error when opening the WPF editor, try:

1. Open a second instance of Visual Studio and try to open XAML.
2. Close all .xaml and .xml files, close Visual Studio, re-open it and open .xaml file.
3. Disable all add-ins in Tools -> Add-in manager
4. "Reset all settings" in Visual Studio.
5. Install CLR patch (KB963676) that should help with fixing of XAML designer. There is a known feedback from Microsoft which states that this should help. Download here (https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=16827&wa=wsignin1.0). The *.msu are patches for Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. The *.exe for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Even if you are using 64-bit machines, you still need x86 patch since Visual Studio 2008 is a 32-bit application.
6. Uninstall all Silverlight tools, runtime, SDKs, Expression Blend. After this, repair Visual Studio.
7. Reinstall Visual Studio and .NET Framework.

If none works, you will have to reinstall the OS.
