Closed 6 years ago.
I have installed vs2013 and been using it for months, now due to the restriction of ue4, i have to use vs2015 instead.
Is there a way to do that? Replacing vs2013 with vs2015? If i just uninstall vs2013 and install vs2015, would there be any problem?
Hope you can show me. Much obliged!
You can install different versions of visual studio side by side without any problem. But You have to install the lower version first then the upper version.
For Example:
Install visual studio 2013 first then install visual studio 2015. If visual studio 2013 is already installed on your machine then just install visual studio 2015.
Cheers!!

My system is having VS 2015 and windows 7 Enterprise.
I have some solution file, which was created in vs 2008.
After opening in vs 2008, there are some upgraded log from vs 2015.
a lot of errors needs to be resolved to make build successed.
Is it ok to install visual studio 2008 over visual studio 2015 ?
this link Can I install two different versions of Visual Studio on the same computer? does not tell if it is ok to install lower version over higher version.
It's possible, but with a bit of risk that some features of the newer VS will break. I have no experience with these two combined, but in the past things got broken for me after installing vs2005 after vs2008 or vs2010. A re-install of the newer version would be needed if this happens.
Generally, it is ok. You can have many different visual studios installed on your machine.
I'm trying to install MS Visual Studio 2010 in my laptop, but it get stuck on this point. I've installed it several times before, but now i can't. Even I installed my windows again but the problem is same. I'm using windows 7 ultimate. Please help me if someone knows about it.
If your persistent on using the VS 2010 Beta 2 version, try this:

but I recommend to skip it and install VS 2013 as adviced by #simonzack and #Horizon_Net
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? 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 .
I've tried to search my question but I didn't find any question answered.
So, here is my problem:
I've installed the Visual Studio 11 Beta once, and it works perfectly. Then I uninstalled the Visual Studio 2010.
I don't remember why, but I had to reinstall VS11. After uninstalling it and installing again, I couldn't find the devenv.exe executable.
So I've tried to run Microsoft Blend, and then, create a project, but I couldn't, because there was no templates available, neither a language to create the project.
When I try to search for Visual Studio in the start menu, I can't find it.
My English is not good, if you can understand, congratulations :D
at this moment you should not longer install VS11.
you should download VS2012 as it is required to develop for win8 RP
