I have a software application called appTranslator that I have used for many years to manage language translations. It comes with a appTranslatorTESetup (Translator Edition) that i give our translators.
Today I supplied the download link to a user and he was not able to install it. The software was compiled in 2007 so I am assuming it was using the Visual C++ Redistributable 2005.
I looked at the official Microsoft page here. I can see:
Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio 2012
Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Concerning version 2008 it states:
Visual Studio 2008 reached end of support on April 10, 2018. To aid the discovery of the latest downloads, the links are retained currently, but may be removed in the future.
After another search I came up with:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update
Is this considered the latest official available edition?
I can confirm that the link I provided is the latest 2005 redist download.
And when my user installed it they were able to run appTranslatorTE.
It may be worth keeping a copy of these redist downloads for legacy app support.
As of 16-04-2022 the link is valid:
I do have some VS2005 Redist downloads on my DropBox folder in some languages:
Not sure of the est way to make these available for all as an alternative download.

I have a Visual Studio solution developed in VS 2013. The solution included a setup project bu InstalledShield Limited Edition. Visual Studio 2015 says the setup project is not compatible. I reinstalled InstallShield which didn't didn't help. I don't see anything on Flexera's site about InstallShield which works in VS 2015. Are there plans for one or does Microsoft now want us to use something else for installation projects?
While you could theoretically register the extension manually, as in our initial testing that's the minimum required to get ISLE 2013 up and running, we have now released ISLE 2015, so you should update. This release includes support for Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, .NET 4.6 (including a fix for the 1001 error from installing .NET 4.6), and other enhancements and bug fixes since the 2013 release.
I've downloaded a shell version of Visual Studio 2012/SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) which allows me to create Analysis Services Tabular Models but because it is a shell (integrated) version it only allows for a small amount of functionality.
I have a full professional edition of visual studio 2010 and have installed SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) but there is no business intelligence project templates available.
Will I need to purchase visual studio 2012 to get this full functionality or is there a way I can do it within the visual studio 2010 environment?
The SQL Server is 2012
Per MSDN:
You can install SQL Server Data Tools on Visual Studio 2010
Professional, Premium, or Ultimate Edition with Visual Studio 2010
SP1.
You can find the link to download Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on the MSDN page (I don't like linking directly to downloads on SO since people can edit the links.)
Also, according to this other MSDN site,
Projects and DACPACs are fully compatible across shells.
Please download the toolset for VS2012 ...
Again, a link to SSDT 2012 is on the site. You might want to uninstall your integrated shell version just to get a clean binding with your existing VS2010 install.
UPDATE
Please also read James Serra's blog about the BI templates for Visual STudio 2012 coming in a separate install from SSDT, which also includes a link to that install.
I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.
I'm helping someone with a new Windows 7 workstation that has two nVidia GPUs and see that MS Visual Studio is required for the complete Cuda 5.5 Toolkit to install properly.
Silly question: is Visual Studio not a free download? Also: there are many different versions of Visual Studio 2012, which should be installed?
Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Visual Studio comes in free and non-free versions.
According to the CUDA 5.5 release notes, you need either the full version of Visual Studio 2012 or the free version, which is called Visual Studio Express, and has some limitations compared to the full (paid) version.
You want the version of Visual Studio which is for Desktop use (which includes the C++ environment).
"Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop"
I believe this falls under the "software tools" requirement. :)
I have tried to install VS2010 SP1 twice. Both times, it installed successfully, but when I open up VS2010, it still says RTMLDR.
I'm just trying to do this so I can install the WP 7.1 SDK, but when I try to do this after "installing" SP1, the SDK installer says that I need SP1.
I did some searching online, but have only found information regarding actually errors during the installation.
Here's the info in the dialog:

I looked at Add/Remove programs and didn't actually see SP1 there.
I have disabled Indent Guides, PowerCommands, Productivity Power Tools, an VSCommands 2010, since I know I've updated to SP1 on another system that had .NETMF 4.1 and WiX. Then I reinstalled SP1 and it's still coming up as RTM. I looked for the KB numbers in "uninstall an update", and sure enough, they are not there.
I then uninstalled .NETMF 4.1 and WiX 3.5 and that didn't help either. I then did a repair on my VS2010 installation -- no luck. And now I've just uninstalled and reinstalled VS2010, and I still cannot get SP1 installed. Once again, no errors are reported after installation.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
