I have ReSharper 7 installed against Visual Studio 2012 and am looking to upgrade to version 8 now that I have purchased an upgrade license.
How do I upgrade?
Do I have to uninstall then reinstall, or can I apply my license code within Visual Studio via the ReSharper options and it automatically takes care of the update?
Just follow the installation instructions on the download page and it will upgrade you automatically. The old version will be uninstalled and the new version installed in its place. You won't be able to have both versions installed simultaniously.
The new version needs to be downloaded from the JetBrains website and then installed over the existing version.

There are several options when installing the new version, you can run both versions simultaneously or automatically uninstall previous versions.
I know this is an old question, but in the newer versions of VS (2019 in my case) and/or ReSharper, there is a menu option from within VS to check for updates.
Extensions --> ReSharper --> Help --> Check For Updates
Then follow the bouncing ball to upgrade the components you have installed. You need to restart VS after the install for it to take effect though.

I'm currently facing some issues with the latest Visual Studio 2019 version (16.7.0) and I want to go back to a previous version, specifically 16.6.2. However on the VS website I can't find a place where to download a specific version of Visual Studio, so is there a way (even non official) to download this version?
Officially, Microsoft provides older installer for VS 2019, but only the Enterprise, Professional, and Build Tools. Meanwhile Community edition
is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio
So if you expect to be needing VS Community older version in the future, I suggest backing up the offline installer when they're released.
In case you need to install a specific version of the Community Edition you can download VS 20XX Professional Edition with the desired version and then, during installation, just select the Community Edition.
Steps:
Download the installer with the required version (release history for VS2022)
Open the installer and when the Workloads screen appears, close it to view the setup screen behind.
On the setup screen go to the "Available" tab
Choose the Community Edition (or the one you need...)
you can download the older version of Visual studio 2019:

For VS2022, the list is here:

I accidentally applied an update to Visual Studio, and right now have installed version 15.9. However, I'd like to downgrade to version 15.7. How can I do this?
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but perhaps my uninstall wasn't clean because immediately upon reinstall, the VS version jumped back to 15.9.
To install specific older updates of Visual C++ 2017, you need to use the right additional parameters. See Microsoft Docs.
Note if you specifically just wanted to use an older version the compiler toolset (the C++ 15.7 compiler) you can do that with the VS 2017 (15.9) IDE installed. See this blog post.
I kept on installing Visual Studio versions as they were released.
2010 and 2012 & 2013. Now I want to cleanup my system from older versions i.e. ( VS-2010 & VS-2012) & keep the latest one only!
How can I uninstall older versions safely without a need to re-install VS-2013.
P.S. I am afraid that if I un-install older versions that would delete some shared system files away which would be needed for VS-2013 to work properly.
As suggested by Mike in comments. I un-installed all previous versions prior to VS-2013. VS-2013 still works fine.
There was no dependency it seems.
Microsoft has come up with Force Uninstall Option to remove all remnants of Visual studio. This Will help you to remove previous versions of visual studio if any along with all other remnants including registry variables, which a normal UNINSTALL often fails to remove.
I am using Visual Studio 2012 and recently updated one of my extensions. The problem is that the upgrade has broken one of the key extension features and I want to downgrade the version to the previous working release.
Is it possible to see older release versions from Visual Studio Gallery ?
The extension in question is P4VS (Perforce Version Control).
Thanks for Perforce support the FTP site link solved the issue.
I removed the newest version and downgraded and the IDE functionality for submitting is working again.
I use VS10 and recently NuGet1.6 came out and I tried to do normal update and it kept failing with the following message,
"Install Error : VSIXInstaller.SignatureMismatchException: The signature on the update version of 'NuGet Package Manager' does not match the signature on the installed version. Therefore, Extension Manager cannot install the update.
at VSIXInstaller.Common.VerifyMatchingExtensionSignatures(IInstalledExtension installedExtension, IInstallableExtension updateExtension)
at VSIXInstaller.InstallProgressPage.BeginInstallVSIX(SupportedVSSKU targetAppID)
"
Then I read somewhere someone said just uninstall NuGet and re-install it, well I uninstalled NuGet in the Control Panel of Windows, because the Uninstall button of NuGet in VS10 is grayed out (why is this the case?). But still could not install NuGet1.6, it run into the same error. Could someone help please!
Thanks.
You might need to Run Visual Studio 2010 As Administrator in order to get the NuGet 1.6 extension installed.
I agree that it is silly that the upgrade from within VS2010 doesn't work. I have tried this several times across several machines (a home workstation without any restrictions, a work machine with tied down profiles) and it always fails.
There is a known issue when upgrading NuGet to 1.6 from an older version when running Visual Studio SP1. From the NuGet 1.6 Release Notes:
If you are running VS 2010 SP1, you might run into an installation
error when attempting to upgrade NuGet if you have an older version
installed.
The workaround is to simply uninstall NuGet and then install it from
the VS Extension Gallery. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581019
for more information.
Note: If Visual Studio won't allow you to uninstall the extension (the
Uninstall button is disabled), then you likely need to restart Visual
Studio using "Run as Administrator."
Run Visual Studio 2010 Administrator, and the UnInstall option is available.
Uninstall --> Restart --> Install new version.
I couldn't run Visual Studio as Administrator, so I just uninstalled the extension from VS, downloaded the VSIX file from the Visual Studio Gallery, then ran the install.
