cant find windows driver option under visual c++ in visual studio (WDK is installed) - visual-studio

i have already installed WDK. Any help?
enter image description here

Install Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2017.
Install Windows 10 SDK.
Install Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for your version of Visual Studio (there's a new version recently released for VS17).
Then you should be good to go. I've done this over and over repeatedly for a number of systems/new environments before, never ever encountered an issue when following this pattern.
I do not recommend having both Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 installed at the same time, or multiple SDK versions though. I've seen way too many conflicts due to this in the past.

Visual studio 2017 professional not showing option for windows driver project

My windows version is Win 10 1803. I installed Visual studio professional 2017, and along with that I installed SDK 10.0.17134.1 and WDK 10.0.17134.1. I restarted the system, and the visual code, yet the option of creating a Windows driver project under Visual C++ is not showing.
Methods tried:
Re-installation of WDK,
Rebooting the system,
Using same version of WDK and SDK as mentioned in Microsoft site.
This solution worked.

Since the extension that works with Visual studio does not pop-up on its own, manually executing through cmd solves the purpose.

Visual Studio not detected while installing CUDA 7.5 on Windows 7?

For the past few days I have installed many versions of visual studio, but nothing is picked up by CUDA 7.5:
I am on windows 7, what could be the issue?
EDIT: I have versions of Visual Studio that CUDA 7.5 asks for, please refer to the image for what versions I have installed.
In your installed programs, more precisely in the screenshot you provide, it seems you have the redist packages but not Visual Studio itself.
Did you really installed Visual Studio ?
Do you know the big difference between the redist packages and the integrated development environment itself ?
Plus, it seems by now Visual Studio 2015 is not yet supported.
See this page on the documentation from Nvidia.

Visual Studio 2013 and Windows Phone

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Pro and then I wanted to install Windows Phone 8 SDK. But it installed Express Edition of VS 2012. Now if I delete VS 2013, what happens with my VS 2012? Can I delete it, because I don't have enough memory for it? Can you help me, please!
They are independent, you can uninstal one without influencing the other.
You can install this version of Visual Studio on a computer that already has an earlier version installed.
but
If you uninstall a version of Visual Studio on a computer that has more than one version installed, the file associations for Visual Studio are removed for all versions.

Is it possible to install two different versions of Visual Studio in the same computer? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Can I install two different versions of Visual Studio on the same computer?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Is it possible? or there is a compatibility issues between the two versions? Because our company is using an outdated version of visual studio (VS2005) and I wanted to try out Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013 for the purpose of learning while there is no project to do. (any of the three newer version is fine) but I don't know if it'll affect the datas of the currently installed visual studio 2005.
Can I still install a newer version without affecting the older version of visual studio?
Yes you can install multiple versions of Visual studio side by side.But install the lower versions first.
If you use Visual Studio 2013 to open a solution that was created in Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can later open and modify the solution again in the older version as long as you haven't implemented any features that are specific to Visual Studio 2013.
So take care about backward compatibility.Refer this for more info.
You can install all (although I only have experience with VS 6 upwards) Visual Studio Versions side-by-side without problems.
I have vs2005 2008 and 2012 running with no issue. Just don't open your 2005 projects/solutions in later versions as this will attempt to convert them to later versions which then will be no longer compatible with 2005. Visual studio will give you plenty of warnings if you do this though.
Yes, this is possible. You can install Visual Studio versions side-by-side. However, Microsoft is recommending to install the old version first before you install the later version.
We recommend that you install Visual Studio versions in the order in which they were released. For example, install Visual Studio 2013 before you install Visual Studio 2015.
You can check this link for further info.
Yes, you can. If you need more details please check Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side .

Visual Studio 2010 SDK won't install with VS 11 Developer Preview Present

Trying to install the Visual Studio 2010 SDK but it aborts with an error saying I don't have Visual Studio 2010 installed. I of course have 2010 installed. I also have the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview installed. I suspect this might be the issue. Is this known? Is there a workaround (I couldn't find one). Running on Windows 7, 64 bit.
It turns out that there is an SDK and and SDK SP1. If you have VS 2010 SP1 installed (like I have) then only the VS 2010 SDK SP1 will install. Easy as that and nothing to do with VS 11 as I thought.
It's always recommended to install your oldest version of Visual Studio first and move on up to your newest. Uninstall 11 first, then install 2010, and then install 11. You might have better luck than you have so far.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
