I have been building a SharePoint app in the NAPA Office 365 Development Tools. Recently. I wanted to use Visual Studio's debugger so I opened the code in VS. However, when I attempted to compile the code I got the following error:
Error 2 Could not load file or assembly
'Microsoft.Office.SharePoint.Tools, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified.
Most everything I've seen told me my problem is that I'm trying to use VS 2010 with SP 2013 however I am currently in VS 2012. Is there a further error I'm unaware of?
I can add the code, but as it is like 700-900 lines worth of code, so unless people need to see it I was leaving it out.

Did you install the office developper tools for VS 2012 ?
Direct download link from MS website: http://aka.ms/OfficeDevToolsForVS2012
On my environement, the Microsoft.Office.Sharepoint.Tools.dll is deployed in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Office.SharePoint.Tools\v4.0_15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c if you don't have it you are probably missing the developper tools.
