I was trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows 8 PC. In some final stage I got message
This driver cannot be used due compatibility issues
VSPerf Profiling Control Driver
Microsoft Corporation
Later, when system was trying to install SQL Server Express I got final result:
The following component failed to install:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Services Pack 1 (x64)
I was trying to run VS and got message:
Cannot create the window.
How to solve these problems and make visual studio running on Windows8?
This isn't a complete answer, but the profiling driver cannot be used in Windows 8: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/profiler/archive/2012/12/10/the-visual-studio-profiler-on-windows-8.aspx

I'm trying to connect my access database using Visual Studio 2013 running on Windows 8.
I found some fixes but they don't work for me.
First, I tried installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64) and installed it successfully but it is giving me the same error.
Another fix that I found was installing 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components but running the file gives me the error "The installation of this package failed."
Im running Office Professional Plus 2013 64-bit, Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, and Visual Studio Professional 2013
Hit the same thing. Try installing the Office2007 redist as well - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/23734 . Solved my prob.
go to your project properties > compile > and uncheck the Prefer-32bit
I have a Windows 7 Express, with Visual Studio 2012. When I run it I get this message:
"C:\windows\system32\MSVCR110.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try reinstalling the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support".
I tried these things:
Repairing Visual Studio with installation.
Uninstalling and installing again.
Installing .Net framework manually.
Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable
Getting the .dll from a computer with a working Visual Studio 2012.
Using a different installation of Visual Studio.
Nothing worked and I have no idea what's the problem.
The two installations that I've used worked on different computers with the same operating system.
Please I need ideas!!
Do you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed? If Not do that first.
Even after that you have two options:
Remove & Reinstall by downloading a new copy of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
Check System requirements section carefully it requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed to work.
Reinstall Visual Studio 2012 with Update 4
I am preparing to do some web development against a SQL Server 2012 server on a fresh install of win 7 x64 development VM.
What should I install first, visual studio or SSMS?
This is my favorite order:
Windows update before installing anything.
SQL Server 2012
If you have SP1 integrated with you ISO file, skip to step 4.
If you have both SP1 and U5 integrated with your ISO file, skip to step 5
Unselect SQL Server Data Tools during installation (step 8 will install the VS 2012 templates instead of these old 2010 ones)
SQL Server 2012 SP1
SQL Server 2012 SP1 U5
Visual Studio 2012
If you have U3 integrated with you ISO file, skip to step 7.
Unselect SQL Server Data Tools during installation because we'll install the updated bits in step 7
Visual Studio 2012 U3
SQL Server Data Tools - BI (adds BI project templates to Visual Studio 2012)
SQL Server Data Tools (allows you to manage SQL Server 2012 from within visual Studio 2012)
Windows Update
ReSharper
StyleCop
SQL ToolBelt
Neither - you can install them in any order. While you do get the occasional question about it in various different forums, I have done this and never had an issue.
SQL does have a Visual Studio dependency (formerly) called BIDS, but Visual Studio can install over/around this no problem.
Note that this answer is correct when using the initial SQL 2012 release (as that was the latest edition when this question was asked). Subsequent releases may have changed things. I have made this answer CW to encourage others to edit it as necessary to include info about later versions.
I don't know if there is a different way for VMs but on Windows we used to install SQL Server first, as some of the configurations of Visual studio conflict with SQL Server configurations if it was installed before
No direct dependencies found between the two components, installing Visual Studio first then ensure that .NET Framework installed properly is my approach, then installing SQL Server, but in all cases the SQL Server installation installs the following software components - 2008:
NET Framework 3.5
SQL Server Native Client
SQL Server Setup support files
My approach:
Visual Studio 2008.
Visual Studio SP1.
SQL Server 2008.
Run Windows updates.
Useful question here
I am currently working on a long-term project for which I need Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2012 (2010 not necessary). Right now I have Windows 7, but I would really like to upgrade. Is it possible to install all of those versions of Visual Studio on Windows 8?
2012 can obviously installed (and takes away the need for 2010). I already found reports that 2008 is also possible if the 3.5 framework is enabled through Windows Features, but I'm unsure about Visual Studio 2005.
Is it possible and does anybody have any experience with this?
PS: Do not come with solutions as "Why still use 2005, 2008, ...", I really need it.
After installing it on VMWare (Virtualbox gives errors) I've enabled framework 3.5 (which indeed contains 2.0 and 2.5). After that I've installed Visual Studio C# Express Edition. During installation and startup of VS it gives a lot of "This program has been known for comptability problems" warnings and they offer to search help online or to run it as usual. I've always opted to let it run as usual. It installed fine and I could compile and run a Visual C# Windows application.
Visual Studio 2005 Standard installed mostly fine for me. I installed it on Windows 8 on an x64 CPU. It complained a bunch about "known compatibility issues," but if I told it to carry on everything seemed to go fine. The only catch was that "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x64" failed to install. Also, I had to run Visual Studio as administrator the first time so it could finish its setup, but after that I've just run it with my normal account.
Download Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and install to VMWare or Virtual Box. It's a 3 month trial and would allow you to test VS2005 plus the others. Once downloaded, it's a fast install. You can download from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx
For an install of Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 I install three things: (1) Visual Studio 2005, (2) Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1, and (3) Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista.
The Visual Studio 2005 service packs can be a bit difficult to locate on Microsoft's web site since everything is really about Visual Studio 2012 and later.
When installing Visual Studio 2005, there will be a number of Incompatible warnings displayed. I just click through them to get to the end.
Also I do a custom install and do not install some components: (1) Crystal Reports and (2) SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1 which seems to be for all editions of Visual Studio 2005 including Professional Edition which I use.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista is required to update Service Pack 1 to work with Windows Vista and later.
Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 won't install by default on Windows versions later than 7.
In Windows 8.1, go to:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off
Check the box labeled ".NET 3.5 (Includes 1.0 and 2.0)" and press OK / Apply.
My system has issues with trying to download the files for such programs, and thus there is a way to bypass this error by running a script which installs the files from a Windows installation disc.
Here is the script (for error 0x800F0906, at least):
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
You can replace /Source:D: with whatever drive letter you may be using for your optical / virtual drive, if needed.
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.
