Difference between visual studio 2013 premium and visual studio shell integrated - visual-studio

I asked my organisation to install visual studio premium version.They have installed visual studio 2013 shell integrated.I tried to open a web application it is not loading .
Asked the Installation team they are claiming that shell integrated visual studio is the premium one.
I wanted to know whether visual studio 2013 premium and shell integrated version is the same

The Visual Studio integrated shell is a way to distribute the Visual Studio application with features and customization.
It includes the integrated development environment (IDE), debugger, and source control integration. However, it does not include any programming languages, you must add them as needed, which may be the reason why you can't load your web application.
Regarding the edition I do not know if you can find the edition used to generate the distribution. Keep in mind that some functions may have been removed (or added) in the customization process. In the end you might have to trust them that you are using the 2013 premium edition.

Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition versus Visual Studio Online Professional

Is Visual Studio Community edition able to use my repositories on the Visual Studio Online account?
I have been paying $50 monthly for Visual Studio Online Professional which is included in the Online account, but now I'm really wondering do I still need to pay that. I have few projects on the Online account which I can't give up, but I understand the included Pro is pretty much same as the Community edition. So why am I really paying it anymore? Do I lose my online projects or something if I stop paying?
Let me see if I can help out here with sorting out some details. There's a few things to understand about the Visual Studio IDE and access to a Visual Studio Online account. Let's start with some basics:
Each Visual Studio Online account allows up to five users access to the basic capabilities of Visual Studio Online. Essentially, you only pay for Visual Studio Online Basic per-user fees once you have reached your sixth person. The Visual Studio Online Basic user plan doesn't provide any access to a specific IDE so you "bring your own IDE" whether it's Visual Studio, Eclipse, Xcode, etc.
Visual Studio Online Professional includes the basic capabilities of Visual Studio Online as well as access to the Visual Studio Professional IDE on a monthly rental.
Visual Studio Community has a EULA that has some restrictions on how you are able to use it currently essentially has the same set of capabilities as Visual Studio Professional with some minor differences. Most notably, if you are an enterprise building commercial applications, you aren't able to use Visual Studio Community. There's more details available here and here.
Therefore, in your case, if you meet the conditions of the Visual Studio Community edition's EULA, then you should be good to go with using Visual Studio Community and one of your free Visual Studio Online basic licenses.
I would say no, you don't lose anything. The free account still has all the benefits your Pro account does, just without the VS Pro access: http://www.visualstudio.com/pricing/visual-studio-online-pricing-vs
VS Pro usually runs around $750, so if you're keeping it for 2 years it makes sense to buy it outright. If you don't need the advanced features of Pro, the community edition will work just fine.

SQL Server 2012 Tabular model project in Visual Studio 2010? SSDT

I've downloaded a shell version of Visual Studio 2012/SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) which allows me to create Analysis Services Tabular Models but because it is a shell (integrated) version it only allows for a small amount of functionality.
I have a full professional edition of visual studio 2010 and have installed SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) but there is no business intelligence project templates available.
Will I need to purchase visual studio 2012 to get this full functionality or is there a way I can do it within the visual studio 2010 environment?
The SQL Server is 2012
Per MSDN:
You can install SQL Server Data Tools on Visual Studio 2010
Professional, Premium, or Ultimate Edition with Visual Studio 2010
SP1.
You can find the link to download Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on the MSDN page (I don't like linking directly to downloads on SO since people can edit the links.)
Also, according to this other MSDN site,
Projects and DACPACs are fully compatible across shells.
Please download the toolset for VS2012 ...
Again, a link to SSDT 2012 is on the site. You might want to uninstall your integrated shell version just to get a clean binding with your existing VS2010 install.
UPDATE
Please also read James Serra's blog about the BI templates for Visual STudio 2012 coming in a separate install from SSDT, which also includes a link to that install.

Install Shield Limited Edition in visual Studio 2013 Express

First of all I'm new to visual studio. I need to develop a Setup (.exe) using Visual Studio C#. In order to create a setup, we need Windows Installer wizard. While searching on google I got a link from msdn Here
I tried to create a new project as described, but I wasn't able to find "Other Project Types". I searched google again and finally I got: InstallShield Limited Edition template provided by flexerasoftware.com. I registered and downloaded InstallShield 2013 Express Edition, and installed it. Restarted the machine and opened Visual Studio 2013, still I couldn't find other project type templates.
Everyone simply says choose setupwizard under "other project types", but no one provides any description on templates setup.
What am I missing here, and why this much complexity to create setup file wizard. Guide me If I am missing anything, I'm in a serious trouble.
Note : Currently am using Visual Studio 2013 Express edition.
Thanks.

Visual studio installation

when i'm installing "visual studio 2010 xpress editon" , its asks to install all products one by one like c++, C#, web developer. but ater intsallatoion when they comes with different application. one for C# and another for web dev. I want all them in one. how to do that?
I am afraid you can't have that.You can work on one environment at a time.
wikipedia:
Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 Express consist of the following separate products
Visual Basic Express
Visual C++ Express
Visual C# Express
Visual J# Express (2005 only)
Visual Web Developer Express
Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone (2010 only)
programmers' post:
The biggest difference is that Express editions do not support plugins (No ReSharper, no add-ons). Additionally, the non-express versions are all combined, meaning you don't have to switch back and forth to get features from individual express versions if you have a project that crosses web, desktop, etc.

Other project types is empty in visual studio 2008

In my system when I click on Add->new project->And go to Other project types I cant see any project types. I actually wanted to convert my c# project to executable.
Is any component missing during installation? I am using Visual studio 2008 professional edition
Please help me..
I had the same issue until I looked into what software I was ACTUALLY using - check to see if you're really using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - I thought I was until I realized I was using Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) which is different.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) is part of the SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, so the project types available to it are different than MSVS 2008... Microsoft developed the Shell to have the same look and feel of Visual Studio so users were comfortable and familiar with the layout.
Go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>
Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.
So that you can have templates you need.
You can reopen your VisualStudio ISO and try to repair or you can install VisualStudio Express to make sure you can install all templates.
My guess is you didn't make a full installation and forgot to install some components.
