I have VS 2013 Express, and I need to install MS Surface 2.0 SDK. Installer gives a very informative error, exactly:
"you must install the c# project feature for microsoft visual studio 2010 before you install microsoft surface 2.0 sdk"
Can anybody tell me what that error means, and why it needs VS 2010?
I'm using VS 2013 Express.
Haven't tried it myself yet but heres a link which might point you in the right direction: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21702121/how-to-install-microsoft®-surface®-2-0-sdk-without-installing-visual-studio

I know this is not exactly a programming question but I don't even know how to google it so here I am.
I currently have Visual Studio 2013 Express and I get the error above when am trying to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Installer Projects extension, what is missing? Any help will be highly appreciated.

As mentioned on the extension page, this requires Visual Studio 2013.
Visual Studio 2013 Express is not Visual Studio 2013 (meaning paid version). Or at least, only a subset, with a different product ID.
You'll have to use the paid version of VS or choose another setup method.
I'm trying to download XNA game Studio, but at the moment I try to install it it says this:
Note: The Hyperlink sends me to a microsoft site to download VS2013 Express edition.
I'm on Windows 8.1 x64 with a full-component installation of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate edition.
XNA Game Studio has not been updated in many years. It requires VS 2010 C# Express or VS 2010 Pro+. There are some hacks on the Internet about how people have gotten it to work with VS 2012 and VS 2013, but it's only officially supported for VS 2010.
I got Visual Studios 2013 from Dreamspark and i need to access the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel namespace but it says it does not exist.
can someone help me find out how i add it. This would be the first time I am adding a library that is not already included with the VS installation.
I really appreciate your help
What i am ultimately trying to do is this
Using LinEst () in .net
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel is an assembly in Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime. Check if you have installed them with Visual Studio.
You can install the tools in three occasions:
When you install Visual Studio 2013.
When you install Microsoft Office 2013 or Office 2010.
When you install the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime redistributable.
I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.
I just installed VS 2010 Professional Edition, then the Service Pack 1. So now I wanted to install the 7.1 RC for WP7. The first thing it tries to do is download VS 2010 Express. Is this normal? Do I really have to install 2 versions of VS to develop for WP7?
If you already have a valid and applicable edition of Visual Studio 2010 installed, then the installer installs the SDK, Expression Blend, emulator, etc. and adds the necessary project templates into your existing edition. It will not install Visual Studio 2010 Express if you have already have an existing edition, so there are no issues around multiple installs of Visual Studio.
