I have a windows Application developed in Visual Studio 2013.
When i tried to install the current installation on Windows XP, i get an error as "The setup file was interrupted. Appname could not be installed.Please try again"
After i did some google, i found that build files of Studio 2013 is not supported for Windows XP.

Visual studio 2017 professional not showing option for windows driver project

My windows version is Win 10 1803. I installed Visual studio professional 2017, and along with that I installed SDK 10.0.17134.1 and WDK 10.0.17134.1. I restarted the system, and the visual code, yet the option of creating a Windows driver project under Visual C++ is not showing.
Methods tried:
Re-installation of WDK,
Rebooting the system,
Using same version of WDK and SDK as mentioned in Microsoft site.
This solution worked.

Since the extension that works with Visual studio does not pop-up on its own, manually executing through cmd solves the purpose.

Cannot install Visual Studio on Windows 8.1

I am trying to install Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop on Windows 8.1 on my Lenovo IdeaPad.
Immediately upon trying to install, it crashes and I get the following error:
"Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop - ENU with Update 4 has stopped working."
I meet all of the listed requirements and this is my first time trying to install VS, so not sure what to do.

How to debug a .net 4.0 program on Windows XP?

I have Windows 8 + Visual Studio 2013 and made a program that runs with .net 4.0 on Windows XP. I'd really like to debug it on Windows XP, but I have no idea how.
I guess I'd need Visual Studio 2010, but I can't find a legal download link for it.
Any other ideas what I could do?
You can download an .iso for Microsoft Visual Express 2010 for Windows XP and install it (for example) with virtual clone drive.
It works flawlessly, if you adapt your .sln file as explained here:

Windows Mobile & Windows Phone development on one box?

I've been developing for Windows Mobile/Pocket PC for a number of years without any issues. I recently started getting "Unable to start debugging" error messages after I installed Visual Studio 2010 and Windows Phone 7.1 SDK. The Visual Studio 2008 Remote tools would work, and Visual Studio could deploy the files, but "Start with Debugging" would not work while "Start without Debugging" would work.
I uninstalled the Windows Phone 7 SDK and am able to debug Windows Mobile applications again. Is there any way to allow the Windows Mobile 6.x and Windows Phone 7 SDKs to coexist on one computer?
With these Errors Double Check and make sure Service Pack one is installed for 2010.
Trevor, this issue has been reported as a bug with a known workaround by Jeffrey Walton on Microsoft Connect. The fix is summarized as follows:
Rename the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\SmartDevices\Debugger\target\wce400\armv4i to armv4i_temp
Copy the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SmartDevices\Debugger\target\wce400\armv4i inside the Visual Studio 2010 path.
Reference: VS 2010 Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools breaks existing VS 2008 Windows Mobile Developer Tools
Visual Studio 2010 can not build (much less debug) a Windows Mobile application. It can develop for Windows Phone 7 (apparently - I certainly do not develop for it).
To develop (build/debug) for Windows Mobile, drop back to Visual Studio 2008. That's the last version of Visual Studio that offered support for Windows Mobile.
Unfortunate.
Right edm2.exe and other remote debugger Arm4i files versions must be deployed to device. Rename temporarily all folders containing edm3.exe and try VS2008 debug. If works, search edm*.exe in registry and repair related keys to VS2008only state.

Have an issue installing Visual Studio 2010 RC on Windows XP SP3

I had an issue installing Visual Studio 2010 RC on Windows XP SP3?
(Have installed same ISO package on Vista and worked fine...)
Setup would fail no matter what I tried:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC Setup
A problem has been encountered while
loading the setup components.
Canceling setup.
I found a solution by "Mikael Söderström" on MSDN Forums:
Display the language bar at the
taskbar, right-click on it and choose
settings. Then you remove the hand
writing support from the list.

I was installing VS2010 on a windows 7 machine inside a "Windows XP Mode" instance and it was failing.
The reason being the install files were not on the Windows XP instance.
Copying the setup files to within the XP instance fixed the issue.
