Is it possible to compile and debug full c++11 code with visual studio 2010 ?
Is it possible to change the compiler of visual studio 2010 to use visual cpp 2015 build tools ?

No, visual studio 2010 contain C++11 features, but not all of them, Here is a list of what features it supports (as well as VC++ 2015), I suggest that you could use visual studio 2015, which contain most of the features instead of Extended integer types

No, it is impossible, we can only select low-level Platform Toolset (such vs2008). So I suggest you could visual studio 2015.

I tried every workaround I could find. None of it worked.
Is it even possible to get Visual Studio 2008 build tools and v90 in particular for Visual Studio 2017?
What are alternatives? I need this toolset to work on some old code.
We have a buildmachine that currently has installed Visual Studio 2010 to compile our application.
Now we have moved to Visual Studio 2015 and developers have installed it on their machines and modified the solution so it works with 2015 but the previous versions will continue to build with 2010.
I was going to install Visual Studio 2015 on the build machine but I don't know how the build machine will know that the previous branches must be built with 2010 and the new ones with 2015. With some Msbuild settings? Just looking at the sln? By other means?

Open your .sln file with Notepad. Look for Format Version on the first line which correlates with a Visual Studio version.
•Format Version 11.00 is Visual Studio 2010
•Format Version 12.00 is Visual Studio 2013 && Visual Studio 2013
For visual studio 2013 and visual studio 2015, we could find the visual studio version on the third line. like this:
visual studio 2013: VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.30501.0
visual studio 2015: VisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
As far as I know it does it looking at the ToolsVersion on every .csproj. VisualStudio is not required as MsBuild and the compiler come with the .Net Framework.
I'm currently involved in a technology upgrade project in my company, and would like to know if VSS6.0 is compatible with latest Visual Studio 2015?
Thank you.
VSS is not included since VS 2010 due to performance issues. According to
Can I Use Visual Source Safe with Visual studio 2013?
and
Visual Studio 2015 Professional and Visual SourceSafe (VSS)
you can choose "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe" plugin from Tools -> Options -> Source Control.
I suggest you to use TFS/CVS/Git/SVN rather than VSS for better version control of your application.
I have been using 2010 on a project. The project was built using cmake, when cmake chose to use the compiler Visual Studio 2010. Now I intend to move the whole set up of the project to Visual Studio 2013.
So, today I installed Visual Studio 2013. But when I try to use cmake to build the project for visual studio 2013, in the compiler list of cmake I cannot see any compiler of Visual studio 2013, the latest are Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2012 win64, Visual Studio 2012 ARM.
Is there no exclusive compiler for Visual Studio 2013? Does the same compiler work for both VS2012 and VS2013? If Visual Studio 2013 indeed has an exclusive compiler, why can't cmake find the that compiler?
Thanks.
Try updating your CMake version.
The Configue dialog in cmake-gui for CMake 3.1 lists the respective entries as Visual Studio 12 2013:
In older CMake versions (older than 3.0) the entries omitted the year and showed only the version number, so the entry just reads Visual Studio 12.
If your CMake version is even older, there might not be support for Visual Studio 2013 at all. However, you should still be able to open project files generated for an older Visual Studio version. This might require an additional conversion step by Visual Studio, which might mess things up.
Upgrading CMake is definitely the preferred solution.
I install visual studio 2013 ultimate on a x64, and i get with is components from 2005 and a whole bunch for x86 ?!
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable x86
It also , if i am not mistaken, gives me a version of visual studio 2010 as well as tooling and files only associated for those versions. There was no option to negate this. Do i really need all of this?
