MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.3.4 download failed - visual-studio-2013

Can somebody tell me why is it failed. Today I installed MySQL on my Win 7 64bit laptop. I downloaded MySQL community server 5.6.20 and during download and installation I got an error that it failed to download Connector/ODBC 5.3.4.
Can somebody help me fix this. I want to use MySQL for visual studio 2013 for my VB project.
Also MySQL for Visual Studio 1.1.4 not installed and I don't know if that is required at all. Couple of items are there under this, like Core components, Visual Studio Integration, Entity Framework Designer Integration. When I hover over this it shows a tip as it requires visual studio 2008, 2010, 2012 but it was not found on this machine.... I am using VS 2013. What am I supposed to do now.

I could manage to get it work by installing a couple of patches (mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.30-winx64) and (mysql-for-visualstudio-1.2.3). It's now up and running.

Check if MySQL Connector/ODBC is missing from the manifest.
If that's the case, a workaround is to manually download and install the connector.

SSIS packages with scripts cannot be upgraded to VSTA - how to fix or work around?

I have several SSIS packages that were created and can be opened using Visual Studio 2010 with Integration Services. I have read in many locations that newer versions of Visual Studio can open these files. I have Visual Studio 2013, so I installed SQL Server Data Tools-Business Intelligence, and tried to open the solution with the SSIS project, which worked--but then, it tried to upgrade the packages, and gives me this error:
Failed to migrate scripts contained in the package to the VSTA 11.0
format. Move the scripts to a new Script Component.
Is there any way to edit the package "the old way" in VS2013, without upgrading/migrating the package?
How do I obey and do what it asks me to do? I can't find instructions anywhere. MSDN is unhelpful.
Can I install SQL Server Data Tools-Business Intelligence for new instances of Visual Studio 2010, so that others can edit these packages without upgrading them? It seems like the installers are gone.
No, none that I know of
Once the automatic upgrade has finished. You open each package with scripts. Open each script task/transformation. Recompile. Save. And Close.
Not that I know of.
This has worked for me upgrading from 2008 to 2012 and I think also applies to 2010 to 2012/3
Note that I think once you've upgraded the package - VS2010 should still be able to work with the package, but if you install the SSDT-BI for VS2013 then this will install the VS2013 Shell (enough to edit the packages) even if you don't have the the full VS2013 available.
Edit:
Do you have SQL Server 2012 SP2? I've found an issue with SSIS packages using VSTA on SP2 in that they won't open (ie. the designer won't open) and also they fail at run time. At this stage I've gone back from SP2 to continue working.

Can't find the launch icons for Visual Studio 2010 ultimate anywhere?

I seem to have a really unique problem with my visual studio 2010 installation. Before installing visual studio i installed SQL Server 2012 express and SQL Server Management Studio. After that i installed Visual Studio 2010 ultimate. The installation goes fine but after it is complete i can't find the application launch icons anywhere. the only new programs that are added are Microsoft Test Manager and Microsoft Visual Studio Documentation. Please Help me!
You need to install the Service pack 1 for it to work! You can download it here
I'm not sure which OS you are running but I'm using Windows 8, and I'm dealing with the same issue. I was able to start VS2010 by clicking on the SQL Server Data Tool icon (same as the VS2010 icon). I hope this helps!
Not even in the directory under program files(x86)?
You could try to open the installation again, if it detects Visual Studio it will ask you to repair the installation :)
I right clicked on the .csproj file > open with >...
I guess your Visual Studio program is Service Pack 1; that is why it can't work with sqlserver express edition. I faced same issue but fixed it by installing sqlserver 2008 Service Pack 2 in place of sql server Express I was previously using.

How do I upgrade SQL Report projects (rptproj) to Visual Studio 2012?

Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.

no compatible version of visual studio net found on system

I have installed full version licensed Visual Studio 2010 Professional, .Net 4.0 on my system. Now I am trying to install Active Reports 6 on it and facing the error "no compatible version of visual studio net found on system". My Active Reports build is 6.0.1.1797.0.
So, do I need to install framework 3.5 before installing? I have not installed Service Pack for visual Studio for now.
Thanks.
Active reports 6.0.1797.0 does not support Visual Studio 2010. Active reorts 6.1.2577 or later supports Visual Studio 2010. And any how, Express edition of visual studio does not support active reports.
So my solution, enhances...I installed the later versions...but unfortunately I am getting some errors in my application because of Active reports version change as my application was made in previous version of Active Reports. So, what I did is, installed the latest version, uninstalled it and again installed 6.0.1797.0 version, and it was installed successfully and my application was also working fine.
#rapsalands...You are correct in understanding that support for Visual Studio 2010 started only after build 6.1.2577.0 was released. Also express edition of Visual Studio is not supported. The first thing to note here is that whenever you install/uninstall ActiveReports 6 from your machine, there should be no running instance of Visual Studio as it affects proper integration of ActiveReports with itself.
Also the errors which you were getting are more likely appearing because of the incorrect references in your project. Whenever you open an existing project after upgrading ActiveReports build, you should remove all the ActiveReports references from the project, re-add them (making sure they point to the version currently installed) and finally rebuild your project.
I think you can also check the blogs for ActiveReports as you might find some useful information about different topics there.

Error While Installing Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition

I have installed .net framework 2.0 and now I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition from the Internet, but when I execute the setup file I am getting the following error:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch".
Can anyone tell me what is the error and how should I rectify it?
Please note that I am already having Visual Studio 2008 installed on my system.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
It sounds like you are trying to install the Service Pack or an invalid file. When installing Visual Studio 2008 and choosing the default installation mode it will already install SQL Server 2005 Express edition on your machine if it is not already installed.
If you did a custom install you can re-run the Visual Studio 2008 installation and select to install SQL Express.
Also make sure you don't have Sql Server 2008 installed, and if you have do an advanced install on Sql Server 2005 express and change the instance name to something else. I would recommend rather installing Sql Server 2008, either from the internet or from the Sql Server Installation Disc, by choosing Express edition during installation.
