I'm trying to install VS2013 but it won't be installed without having IE 11 installed .
IE 11 from some weird reason refuses to be installed .
Is there any way to install VS 2013 without having IE 11 also installed ?
Here is my solution :
Change the registery
Click run-->regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
Change the value of svcVersion to 10 , and you're done.
(This should be added comment to the question, but I don't have enough reputation points)
I currently have VS 2013 with just IE 10 and it works fine. Do you have the latest VS 2013 ISOs? The reason I ask is that the requirement for IE 11 was removed in one of the updates to VS.

autocreated by VS Windows Universal Blank App it shows me that i need newer Windows (pic)
then, when i try to update, Windows Update Manager cant find newer version of System. It is caused by re-released version of Windows from October 2018
Have you any idea how to fix that? Any fixes fron internet like this, and this, didn't helped me.
Solved by old question here.
What You have to do is:
From menu bar select Project
YOUR_PROJECT Properties
Change Target version to Windows 10(10.0)
Are there any plans by Microsoft to release a Taco Update 11 with native Cordova 7, Node 4.x support?
Is Taco still an active project since the last update was two years ago?
I think it is safe to assume Microsoft has abandoned TACO platform, putting their focus in this space to Xamarin.
As you pointed out, the last update to the tool was 2 years ago, Jan 2016.
The last entry in The Visual Studio Blog ("The official source of product insight from the Visual Studio Engineering Team") was 15 months ago, Oct 2016.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Jordan Matthiesen, who was Program Manager for VS Taco, is now Program Manager for Visual Studio For Mac.
For myself, a Visual Studio user for 27 years, I have switched to using Cordova CLI and Visual Studio Code on Mac.
After a few try i have found a way:
Follow this steps:
install nodejs 4.8.7 on your machine
in visual studio go under tools>options>"Tools for apache cordova"
and deflag chekbox "use a sandboxed version of NodeJS"
Edit taco.json file of your project and set "cordova-cli": "7.1.0"
Open a new console and install cordova on your machine (npm install
-g cordova#7.1.0)
For android build:
open prompt, digit android and press return
dovnload API 26 SDK from tool
download gradle 2.x and put bin folder in your system path
install jdk 1.8.x and set java_home system var to it
reboot
For those that still use TACO for visual studio, I found the following instructions to update Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova for VS 2017 to use Cordova #7.1.0 and Cordova-Android #6.3.0
https://github.com/brunolau/vs-taco-update
It tells you how to find the old toolset (6.3.1) and how to replace it with a new version, and also how to update android to API level 26.
It also shows you how to create your own custom toolset, which I haven't tried, but sounds very useful.
I have a problem with Visual Studio 2015.
When I start the IDE, it hangs after a short while, and I need to kill the process in Task Manager. Sometimes, I can open a project before it freezes, but then it usually freezes some time after that.
My OS: Windows 7
VS version: 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
Screen shot from ProcessExplorer:
(red marks numbers that keep climbing, the rest are not increasing)
I have created a dump file, but can't debug it...
Can someone please help me?
EDIT: Feb 2017 :
New PC (Windows 10) and newer version (14.0.25431.01 Update 3) do NOT give the same problem.
I had the same issue a while ago.
First, I'd recommend you to disable all extensions you're not interested in using of.
Second, many of VS issues is because of Node.js Tools. Though latest version of which fixes many of them, I highly recommend you to uninstall it if you're not planning to develop node-based apps.
Finally, there's still a lot of performance issues with VS, so we can only hope that Microsoft will fix them in the future.

So, I have a Windows 8.1 machine with Visual Studio 2013 installed. Whenever I go to create a new Windows Store project I do not see any options to create a new Windows 8 Store app, rather than Windows 8.1 Store App. However, I have no problem opening existing Windows 8 Store App Projects.
Is it possible to create a Windows 8 Store App project from Visual Studio 2013 when running on Windows 8.1?
It's easy - create a new 8.1 project and remove the following lines from the .csproj file:
<TargetPlatformVersion>8.1</TargetPlatformVersion>
<MinimumVisualStudioVersion>12</MinimumVisualStudioVersion>
Reopen the file and voila - it's a Windows 8 project!
Additionally, you might want to change the following as well:
In MainPage.xaml:
- <Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
+ <Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
In Package.appxmanifest:
- <m2:VisualElements
+ <VisualElements
- Square150x150Logo="Assets\Logo.png"
- Square30x30Logo="Assets\SmallLogo.png"
+ Logo="Assets\Logo.png"
+ SmallLogo="Assets\SmallLogo.png"
- <m2:SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" />
+ <SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" />
- </m2:VisualElements>
+ </VisualElements>
If this doesn't work - it might mean that the project files have further changed in current versions of VS and you might need to install VS 2012 (Express should do) and create a project in that. You can then work on it in the new version of VS.
Is it possible to create a Windows 8 Store App project from Visual Studio 2013 when running on Windows 8.1?
No. You need to use Visual Studio 2012 to create the Windows 8 project, then open it in VS 2013. This can be done in Windows 8.1, but requires installing VS 2012 side by side with VS 2013.
I did the following:
It's easy - create a new 8.1 project and remove the following lines from the .csproj file:
<TargetPlatformVersion>8.1</TargetPlatformVersion>
<MinimumVisualStudioVersion>12</MinimumVisualStudioVersion>
Reopen the file and voila - it's a Windows 8 project!
But it's not Voila. Reloading the project after this edit puts up a dialog saying VS2013 needs an update, and directs you to the MS Download site (assumedly to download the Phone 8.0 SDK.
I made completely sure I had the Phone 8.0 SDK installed with VS2013 installer. I even went so far as to remove (with 2013 installer) and re-add. Still this behavior persists. I'm now downloading the 8.0 SDK, which is installing 2012 Express of course. We'll see if that helps, but it seems like this shouldn't be necessary. What am I missing?
It didn't resolve the behavior. Now, I load up the solution and it won't load the project. The project has the notation (update required). When you select download update from the context menu, it just takes you to MS Downloads--no idea what needs to be downloaded.
Can someone please explain the highly voted answer above? I'm running Win 8.1 Pro with VS2013 Premium (Phone 8 SDK installed)...and I now have the VS2012 Express install that came with the regular Phone 8.0 SDK download. Thanks.
As Reed said, you cannot create Windows 8 App store project in Visual Studio 2013 and you need to have VS2012 installed too. But as a trick you can make a copy from an existing Win 8 app project and modify it. It is not very neat solution but works if you do not want to install VS2012 as well.
You need to use Visual Studio 2012 to create the Windows 8 projects.
Based on my own experience if you don't have do developer a Windows 8 version, just focus on 8.1. For me only 3% of the sales are generated by the Windows 8 version. I only backported my 8.1 app for experience sake.
You cannot developer Windows 8.0 application using VS 2013. You have to install VS 2012 for Windows 8.0.
When I try to install the new phone tool application, it requires me to remove the previous beta version in order starting with phone developer tools beta. so go to control panel uninstalll I click on tit it gives me an error. "a problem has been encountered while loading the set up components. canceling set up" Anyone help please. thank
This happened with my VS 2010 Beta. I used Revo Uninstaller and removed all file/registry entries and then installed the latest version of VS 2010.
Sometimes things get a bit messed up when installing and uninstalling lots of ctps. Try this uninstall/reinstall sequence for anything that might be getting in the way.
