VS2013 package has a dependency on VS2015 shell assembly

Temporary workaround: add assembly binding redirect to devenv.exe.config file:

  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="14.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0"/>
  </dependentAssembly>

I can confirm, same error message here. Win7, VS2013 pro, FileNesting 2.4.58. Additionally installed VS2012, but no VS2015.

Your workaround solves the issue. Thank you!

For anyone else having the problem, the file is located here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE". I added the XML-block right before the "" tag near the end of the file.

Will there be a new release with this fix anytime soon?
