i want to use tfs shell extension in windows 10 and i dont want install VS. download tfs shell extention from here. how to config that to show in windows context(right click) or other way without install VS. is it possible?

No, it's impossible. As the official doc declared clearly:
It works with Visual Studio 2017.
This release requires a computer with Visual Studio 2017 and all of
the Visual Studio system requirements.
You have to use Visual Studio with this Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control Windows Shell Extension.

Visual studio 2008 Shell be installed in a terminal which is already having Visual Studio 2010 Shell

Can Visual studio 2008 Shell be installed in a terminal which is already having Visual Studio 2010 Shell.VS 2010 Shell is essential to the Project. So I want VS 2008 in my terminal, without disturbing the existing VS 2010)
Question 1: If so, what do we exactly need to get it installed in my terminal.
Sorry the question might sound stupid, but I am a Java developer and I have no idea of Visual studio. Thanks in advance for your help.
Question 2: Also what does it mean by Visual Studio 2010 Shell Version? What does Shell means
If by "terminal", you mean a PC running Windows, then yes, you can have two different versions of Visual Studio installed simultaneously. I'm assuming you have the requisite licences from Microsoft. Just run the install from the downloaded executable or the installation CD as usual.

PowerShell in Visual Studio 2012

I have a project written in PowerShell and I want to create an interface for it using Visual Studio 2012. How can I load the .ps1 file in Solution Explorer? I have already run through these steps:
http://nickmeldrum.com/blog/how-to-run-powershell-scripts-from-solution-explorer-in-visual-studio-2010
(the steps are for Visual Studio 2010 but I thought the settings shouldn't differ too much) but now I don't know what to do...I have to install some tools or something?Thank you!
You haven't specified what's the issue here. Steps from the linked article should work with Visual Studio 2012 without any adjustments as far as I see. Make sure that you followed those steps correctly.
BTW, you may want to install "PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio 2012" extension.

Other project types is empty in visual studio 2008

In my system when I click on Add->new project->And go to Other project types I cant see any project types. I actually wanted to convert my c# project to executable.
Is any component missing during installation? I am using Visual studio 2008 professional edition
Please help me..
I had the same issue until I looked into what software I was ACTUALLY using - check to see if you're really using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - I thought I was until I realized I was using Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) which is different.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) is part of the SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, so the project types available to it are different than MSVS 2008... Microsoft developed the Shell to have the same look and feel of Visual Studio so users were comfortable and familiar with the layout.
Go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>
Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.
So that you can have templates you need.
You can reopen your VisualStudio ISO and try to repair or you can install VisualStudio Express to make sure you can install all templates.
My guess is you didn't make a full installation and forgot to install some components.

Can't Find NuGet with VS 2010 Shell Extension Manager

Following these instructions as best I can, the VS 2010 Shell Extension Manager turns up no results when searching for "nuget". The only deviation as far as I can tell is that the instructions show using VS 2010 Ultimate, and I am using the Shell. I had no problem with AnkhSvn and I can see all kinds of other extensions in the Online Gallery. One other thing, before attempting this I installed the NuGetPackageExplorer (not even really sure what it is, just trying to get off the ground with NuGet and I found it on their CodePlex download site -- ultimately I'd like to publish my own NuGet package, since someone suggested it to me and I've heard about it a couple other times). Any Ideas?
Update
I recently got a new computer (Windows 7 64 bit) and freshly installed Visual Studio 2010 Shell and F# 2.0 and am having the same exact issue. Note: I just checked the About page and it says the only installed component is Visual Web Developer 2010 (seemed odd to me).
It seems like the Visual Studio 2010 "Shell" [1] is not one of the supported applications. Do you have a full version of Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Premium, or Ultimate?
From the NuGet FAQ page [2]:
What is required to run NuGet?
NuGet requires Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010. The NuGet Package Manager Console requires that PowerShell 2.0 be installed. Powershell 2.0 is already installed if you have the following operating system:
Windows 7
Windows Server 2008 R2
If you have the following operating systems, you must manually install Powershell 2.0.
Windows XP SP3
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Windows Vista SP1
Windows Server 2008
[1] Is this the VS 2010 Shell you have? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8e5aa7b6-8436-43f0-b778-00c3bca733d3

Edit: Check what's selected in the left pane of the Extensions Manager. It defaulted to "Installed Extensions" for me, that could be your problem. Select "Online Gallery -> All" then do the search again.

Not sure why it's not showing up, but you can install NuGet by going to the website and clicking the blue "Install NuGet" button. This will take you through to a download page for the latest version (1.3).
NuGet can be installed and updated using the Visual Studio Extension Manager. To check if your copy of Visual Studio already has the NuGet extension, look for Library Package Manager in the Tools menu of your copy of Visual Studio.

can i install and use, visual studio 2008 and visual studio 2010 on the same windows xp/vista

can i install and use, visual studio 2008 and visual studio 2010 on the same windows xp/vista
have visual studio 2008 installed and working
wnat to install visual studio 2010 and use with 2008,
some solutions on 08 and some on 10..
any problems possible?
Yes, you can!
Can't add anything else, honestly! :)
Well, I personally have 2005, 2008 and 2010 installed on the same workstation, for various needs and projects. Works without any problem!
No problems at all running both Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 side-by-side. My development box is currently set up this way.
Solutions will automatically open in the version of Visual Studio that they were created in. You can manually choose to open them in a newer version, but you will need to update them. A wizard will automatically appear that guides you through the process.
Opening a solution saved with a newer version of VS in an older version is not a supported scenario.
But there is a workaround: simply open the *.sln file in a text editor (like Notepad) and decrement the version number by 1. You'll have to do the same thing for each of the project files.
I had the same problem with converting a Visual Studio 2008 project to 2010, which made the program could not compile at all with every measure i took.. then I installed Visual Studio 2008 again and it turns out they can be installed in the same computer and work, but you need to open visual basic 2008 manually if you want to develop a project there..
You shouldn't have any problems unless you try to develop for Windows Phone 7, which you can't currently, and may never be able to, do in Windows XP.
