I'm running into issues trying to register Visual Studio 2017 and 2015 with my Visual Studio Online Subscription (a.k.a. MSDN). I'm using a VMWare VDI using their Horizon Client if that matters. The OS is Windows 10, and the Visual Studio SKU is Professional. My client requires me to run under two separate identities, one with limited privileges for non-development work, and an administrator account for development work (annoying, but not unreasonable given my client is a very large corporation). So, I run Visual Studio under that admin account using Run as administrator.
My problem: On the virtual machine Visual Studio hangs when I click the Sign-In button, or the Check for an updated license on the product registration sign-in page. Note: This problem only occurs from the virtual machine using my administrator account. It works fine on the virtual machine under my normal non-admin account. Nor do I have issues on the physical machine I'm using to run the VM. That said, my client requires me to use the virtual machine.
I'm just wondering if anyone else as seen this same issue. There is something about running under my admin account on VMWare that is hanging Visual Studio registration as soon as I click sign-in. Likely a firewall or proxy setting, not sure. I'm working closely with my client's IT Operations, but they are as perplexed as I.

I have installed TFS 2018 Update 2 on a Windows Server 2016 that joined my domain. In order to get the build system working I have also installed VS 2017 Community on the TFS.
After installing VS all seems to be fine. The Build Agent does its work.
But after a day or so, including a server restart, the Build Agent stops working complaining that VS is not installed.
Checking that turns out that all the files are present in their designated directory and also IDE starts, but also the VS installer only shows the install button. Trying to modify or uninstall VS via Control Panel fails with a message, that the product is not installed.
This behaviour is reproduceable as I, for now, have installed VS more than 4 times also on a new TFS setup using different accounts (Domain Admin, Local Admin).
Have someone encountered the same behaviour or can someone suggest a resolution?
Thanks and reagrds,
Andy
I have re-setup TFS machine and installed Visual Studio first even before adding to the domain with the latest vs web-installer. Now it seems to work.
I am running the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, but it's getting stuck creating a new device profile:
Are there any log files I can use to diagnose the problem, or does anyone from Microsoft have an idea what maybe wrong?
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, and it's the RTM version of the emulator installed with VS 2015.
This is because you are not yet a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" user group. If you didn't restart your computer after installation, you should restart and try again.
If you've restarted and are still seeing this, go to Control Panel, then Local Users and Groups, and add your username to the "Hyper-V Administrators" group.
I need to use Visual Studio 2012, in a windows virtual machine, and to be able to login using Remote Desktop and MULTIPLES sessions access. (Multiple users (very few) can connect to the same time)
I read this is not possible using win8.
What can I do to gain virtualization benefits ?
Thanks in advance.

Running Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 on Win7 x64. I just installed the latest Azure SDK and upgraded a web role. When I enter the debugger from Visual Studio, I need to click through two UAC prompts before the site appears. I believe these are for the compute and storage emulators. How do I prevent this from happening? I already run Visual Studio as an administrator.
On my development machines I tend to disable UAC completely:
Control Panel
User Accounts
User Accounts (again)
Change User Account Control settings
Drag the slider to the bottom: Never notify
I have Visual Studio 2010 in a Vista host and I'm trying to debug a C program in a Windows 2000 guest. Apparently there is no normal way to do that because VS2010 no longer supports Windows 2000 CRT. So what I've done is I'm using the msvsmon from VS2008 instead:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86\msvsmon.exe
I have set the right firewall settings I think. I can connect to the guest machine on the host by doing \192.168.114.128\c$ for example with no problem.
When I click the VMWare play button in visual studio to debug msvsmon will start in Windows 2000 but that's it. There is a series of dings and then a message box. I am not logged in as the same user name on the host as I am as the guest. Is that really necessary? Does anyone have experience in this area or good diagnostics?
There is an option in the guest msvsmon where I can disable authentication but I still can't execute using the play button.
Thanks
Have you tried to use no authentication and then use the attach to process option in Visual Studio? You need to start the app in the Windows 2000 box first.
