Reboot warning message while uninstalling

I have my windows based application using visual studio 2013 and InstallShield 2013 limited edition windows installer.
When I am uninstalling my existing application it will shows "The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running. if you choose to continue, a reboot will be required to complete the setup" like this...
How can I Suppress this window when I am uninstalling my application without stopping the services manually? Suggest me any approach be using code or InstallShield configuration.

Visual Studio Express 2013 For Web Failed to create new Project

I had Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web installed on my machine running Windows 8. Windows update automatically updated my windows to Windows 8.1. After the update when I reopened VS Express 2013, I was unable to create a new project. I get the following error:
Failed to create a 'ImageSource' from the text '..\Images\Medium.png'.
I tried the following measures but to no effect:
Reinstalled VS Express 2013
Installed and Reinstalled FastPictureViewer codec
Run VS as administrator
Set Registery key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes.png - REG_SZ Content Type
Finally found this solution:
Go to windows update of your PC and install all the optional an recommended updates.
Restart your pc and everything should work fine.

I can only run VS2013 in SafeMode

I am using windows 8.1 and visual studio 2013. I can only run VS2013 in safemode, otherwise it raises error at startup and close. It is same even I made a fresh install again. It is also same for the other versions as well (2012, 2010). How can I diagnoses the problem ,any idea?
Have you try:
Search for the service packs, I think for VS2013 there is the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.
Restart your pc after the installation.
Right clic, properties, Compatibility, Run as administrator or compatibility mode.

Lightswitch not working in Visual Studio 2013

I'm having trouble getting lightswitch to work on my home computer.
If I try to create a new lightswitch silverlight project I get the following message:
If I try to open a project created on my laptop I see:
I've tried both to repair and reinstall visual studio with no change.
Any clues?
Have you installed it as an optional feature?
See this link:

Specifically the install picture a few posts down:
EDIT: You may have to select "Modify" (depending on installer) to see that screen.
Which update of Visual Studio 2013 you have? As described here Update 2 CTP 1 has known issues and not recommended to install for LightSwitch development.
From Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, uninstall "SQL Server Data Tools 2013". Then re-install VS 2013 Update 1.
If the solution works, then you can try to reinstall SSDT by using the standalone installer.

Asp.net 4.0 has not been registered

When I try to open my Visual Studio project I get the following error:
Asp.Net has not been registered on the webserver you need to manually configure your webserver for Asp.net 4.0.
Update:
Nevermind I fixed it:
I just repaired .Net Framework 4.0 and the issue was resolved.
I also fixed this issue by running
aspnet_regiis -i
using the visual studio command line tools as an administrator
This solved the problem
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis -i
Be sure to run the command prompt as administrator
For those getting this error in after installing .NET Framework 4.6 - Read and install one of these hotfixes to resolve the issue.
To resolve 'ASP.NET 4.0 has not been registered. You need to manually configure your Web server for ASP.NET 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly' error when opening a solution we can:
1 Ensure the IIS feature is turned on with ASP.NET. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features then click 'Turn Windows Featrues on. Then in the IIS --> WWW servers --> App Dev Features ensure that ASP.NET is checked.
2 And run the following cmd line to install
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis -i
Hope this helps
The aspnet_regiis approach described above doesn't appear to work on Windows 8.1:
C:\Windows\system32>aspnet_regiis -i
Microsoft (R) ASP.NET RegIIS version 4.0.30319.33440
Administration utility to install and uninstall ASP.NET on the local machine.
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Start installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319.33440).
This option is not supported on this version of the operating system. Administrators should instead install/uninstall ASP.NET 4.5 with IIS8 using the "Turn Windows Features On/Off" dialog, the Server Manager management tool, or the dism.exe command line tool. For more details please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=216771.
Finished installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319.33440).
As indicated in the message, I went to:
Start
Turn Windows features on or off
.NET Framework 4.5 Advanced Services
and checked ASP.NET 4.5.
This seems to have resolved the problem.
Open:
Start Menu
-> Programs
-> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
-> Visual Studio Tools
-> Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)
Run in command prompt:
aspnet_regiis -i
Make sure it is run at administrator, check that the title starts with Administrator:

I had the same issue but solved it......
Microsoft has a fix for something close to this that actually worked to solve this issue. you can visit this page http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/11/11/dialog-box-may-be-displayed-to-users-when-opening-projects-in-microsoft-visual-studio-after-installation-of-microsoft-net-framework-4-6.aspx
The issue occurs after you installed framework 4.5 and/or framework 4.6.
The Visual Studio 2012 Update 5 doesn't fix the issue, I tried that first.
The msdn blog has this to say:
"After the installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, users may experience the following dialog box displayed in Microsoft Visual Studio when either creating new Web Site or Windows Azure project or when opening existing projects....."
According to the Blog the dialog is benign. just click OK, nothing is effected by the dialog...
The comments in the blog suggests that VS 2015 has the same problem, maybe even worse.
If ASP.NET 4.0 is not registered with IIS
*****Use this step if u cant access using run command*****
Go to
C Drive
-->>windows
-->>Microsoft.Net
-->>Framework
-->>v4.0.30319 (Choose whatever framework to register with IIS me selecting Framework 4)
-->>aspnet_regiis (Double-click or right click & choose run as administrator)
I had this problem on Windows 8.1 which wouldn't support the aspnet_regiis -i approach.
Instead you need to go to Control Panel, locate the "Turn Windows features on or off" option and drill down as follows:
Internet Information Services
-> World Wide Web Services
-> Application Development Features
and check the "ASP.NET 4.5" option. In checking this box, other options such as ".NET Extensibility 4.5" and the ISAPI options will be checked automatically.
Apply the changes by clicking OK. Restart your website in IIS and your site should now be accessible.
I repaired it using the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool. After reloading my project a couple of times after that the problem went away.
