Do I have to install Visual Studio 14 preview to build an MVC 6 app or can I do that using Visual Studio 2013 ?
It is required. The new project system only exists in VS 2015. You can also build it via the command line without VS.

Performed Visual Studio 2015 Update and now MVC 6 project won't compile - missing dependencies. The project was working fine with RC1 but I suspect VS is trying to use RC2.
I just installed the new release of ASP.Net 5 beta 8. I ran DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi and then WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi. I tried to open a simple app that worked in beta 7 and it won't load the project with a message
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.00079
I then tried to create a new ASP.Net 5 web project and got this:
The project file 'c:\users\myfolder\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\WebApplication3\src\WebApplication3\WebApplication3.xproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the DotNetVersionManager and WebToolsExtensionsVS14 with the same result.
Fixed it by doing this
Close VS, then delete the folder at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache and restart – Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi

The easiest way to get started building applications with ASP.NET 5 is to install the latest version of Visual Studio 2015 (including the free Community edition).
Install Visual Studio 2015
Be sure to specify that you want to include the Microsoft Web Developer Tools.
Install ASP.NET 5.
This will install the latest ASP.NET 5 runtime and tooling.
Enable the ASP.NET 5 command-line tools. Open a command-prompt and run:
dnvm upgrade
This will make the default .NET Execution Environment (DNX) active on the path.
On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 you will also need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.
You are all set up and ready to write your first ASP.NET 5 application!

I have my visual studio 2013 ultimate installed on my local machine.Now , to use the latest AspNet Identity 2.0, i am recommended to use 2013 update 2 or higher.
So, I go to microsoft website and starts downloading.First, it downloaded the small 1.8mb .exe file on my machine.
when i run this .exe file, it starts downloading 8GB visual studio from msdn website.
I just want to know if i have with myself, visual studio 2013 ultimate so to upgrade it , i have to download whole 8 gb file or is there any more update button in visual studio from where i can download only upgrade not the whole visual studio again from the starting.
I was developing a solution for Windows Phone 7 on my system using Visual Studio 2012. I installed Visual Studio 2013 and opened the solution with it. I found that Visual Studio 2013 won't let me build a Windows Phone 7 application, so I wanted to re-open the solution in Visual Studio 2012.
Now Visual Studio 2012 shows me the following error message:
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio
What do I need to do to 'undo' the changes made to my project in the upgrade process so that I can continue working in the older version of Visual Studio to finish my project?
Visual Studio 2013 upgrades the project to the Windows Phone 8 SDK, and that is not compatible with Visual Studio 2012. If you are using a form of Source Control (Visual Studio Online, GitHub) you should roll back to the previous version. If not, Visual Studio (by default) creates a _backup folder under your solution where it will backup any files modified in the conversion process. Use these to return the project to its pre-visualstudio-2013-state.
I've install windows 8 consumer preview and Visual studio 11 developer preview.
After I'm creating a new windows project and attempting to build VS says that it needs .net framework 4.5 while .net framework 4.5 is already installed!
Using Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview means this error message is expected.
You are required to switch to Visual Studio 11 Beta,
