I install visual studio 2013 ultimate on a x64, and i get with is components from 2005 and a whole bunch for x86 ?!
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable x86
It also , if i am not mistaken, gives me a version of visual studio 2010 as well as tooling and files only associated for those versions. There was no option to negate this. Do i really need all of this?

Is 64-bit compilation available in Visual Studio Express 2012 or Express 2013?
I know it's not available in Visual Studio 2010 Express, and one needs to install a few things to make it available.
64-bit tools are not available on Visual C++ Express by default. To enable 64-bit tools on Visual C++ Express, install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) in addition to Visual C++ Express. Otherwise, an error occurs when you attempt to configure a project to target a 64-bit platform using Visual C++ Express.
I just posted something about this here :
64bit compilation with visual studio express 2013
TL;DR : Basj is right, you just have to call vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
if you go to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s.aspx and check the 'other versions', there's no special mention of the express versions not supporting 64bit for 2012 nor 2013 but there is for 2010. So I'd guess that's a yes. Wikipedia agrees saying 'Unlike previous Express editions, it has built-in support for compiling 64-bit applications through IDE' about the 2012 version.
I have been using 2010 on a project. The project was built using cmake, when cmake chose to use the compiler Visual Studio 2010. Now I intend to move the whole set up of the project to Visual Studio 2013.
So, today I installed Visual Studio 2013. But when I try to use cmake to build the project for visual studio 2013, in the compiler list of cmake I cannot see any compiler of Visual studio 2013, the latest are Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2012 win64, Visual Studio 2012 ARM.
Is there no exclusive compiler for Visual Studio 2013? Does the same compiler work for both VS2012 and VS2013? If Visual Studio 2013 indeed has an exclusive compiler, why can't cmake find the that compiler?
Thanks.
Try updating your CMake version.
The Configue dialog in cmake-gui for CMake 3.1 lists the respective entries as Visual Studio 12 2013:
In older CMake versions (older than 3.0) the entries omitted the year and showed only the version number, so the entry just reads Visual Studio 12.
If your CMake version is even older, there might not be support for Visual Studio 2013 at all. However, you should still be able to open project files generated for an older Visual Studio version. This might require an additional conversion step by Visual Studio, which might mess things up.
Upgrading CMake is definitely the preferred solution.
I made an application using VS 2010 and want to run that application on other system which don't have VS 2010.
How can i make my app independent of dependency from VS 2010,so that it can run on any system without installing VS 2010.
If this is a managed application then you need only the appropriate .NET framework version on the target machine (and of course any other dependencies your app may have).
If this is a native application then you need the VC++ 2010 Redistributable package. You need however the redistributable that matches your VS 2010 version (RTM or with SP1) and the project target architecture (x86, x86, IA64). Here are the links for the VC++ 2010 redistributables:
x86
VS 2010 RTM
VS 2010 with SP1
x64
VS 2010 RTM
VS 2010 with SP1
IA64
VS 2010 RTM
VS 2010 with SP1
You need to create an installer for it. The installer will install the .NET framework and any other requirements you may have.
I googled 'creating installer in visual studio 2010' and got some encouraging results.

Search for ClickOnce in case the application needs to run for noon Admin users (installs to local user folders).
I haven't tried installing it either on windows 8.
I need to modify a program which uses a crystal report 2005 (w/c i think is included on the vs2005 professional installer)
It should work just fine after installing the required service packs and patches:
Visual Studio 2005
Visual Studio 2005 SP1
Visual Studio 2005 Update
for Vista
If you are connecting to TFS to get the sources, you might need to install more, see this blog post for details.
I have been using Visual Studio 2010 Express for my CUDA-related development. Recently, I upgraded from CUDA 5.0 to 5.5. When I did so, I discovered what is seemingly an odd bug: whenever I go to clean (or to rebuild) my VS project, I get an error related to nvcc:
nvcc : fatal error : nvcc cannot find a supported version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Only the versions 2008, 2010, and 2012 are supported
I get this same error on multiple independent projects whenever I try to clean them. The error goes away if I use Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this error, and, if so, are there any workarounds (other than switching to VS 2010 Professional)?
Thank you,
Aaron
