Tridion 2013SP1 and Visual studio 2015

I am creating a development machine for a client with Tridion 2013SP1. Everything was working fine, up until I installed Visual Studio 2015. After a restart, I was unable to load the Tridion website and I got this error message.

It looks like is cannot load dll's that are located in the web/WebUI/WebRoot/bin folder. When I add this particular dll in the GAC, it can find it but then it just gives the same error message for another DLL.

Visual Studio installed newer versions of the .NET framework, so I guess it is related to that, but I have no idea how to fix it.
