I am running VS 2013 ultimate on win 8.1 Parallels and everything was working fine, now does not. I have repaired the install, and have even uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2013. WHen I run devenv.exe the initial VS loading screen shows and just spins. When I look at Task Manager, I only see VS running as a background process and eating up the CPU.
When I select a solution file or xml file as an example and choose the VS 2013, VS comes up and loads the file. Any ideas of how to get this working would be GREATLY appreciated.
I was able to get the IDE to come up in safemode, so I figured it was one of the third party addins. It seems like the Productivity Power Tools addin was the culprit in my situation.

I have Visual Studio 2013 which included "PreEmptive Dotfuscator and Analytics".
It's always worked fine for me until recently.
Suddenly it will not open from Visual Studio, icon or commandline.
Even when I manually open it, it does not show up in the task manager.
It simply does nothing.
There's nothing in the Event Viewer logs.
Visual Studio shows no error.
Basically, I can't even begin to find the problem.
I tried to find a download to attempt to reinstall it but all I've seen on the website for this version is that it's included in VS2013.
There's other sites in search results which claim to have the installer but none I trust.
Has anyone had this issue in the past?
It's Visual Studio 2013 Professional on Windows 8.1.
I'm not sure how to address this so I would greatly appreciate any possible input.
Thanks in advance!
You can try uninstalling, wiping the settings, and reinstalling. Dotfuscator Community Edition is uninstallable via the Windows control panel. Once uninstalled, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\PreEmptive Solutions. You may be able to reinstall it as a component via the Visual Studio installer. If not, it is actually a standalone installer, so if you have a Visual Studio disc or .iso, it will be in \packages\Dotfuscator.
I am trying to install Multi-Device Hybrid Apps extension on Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate). But Installation got stuck when Android SDK being install. I have waited for 2 to 3 hours but it stuck there. I have cancelled the process and tried again but same issue.
Can anyone help me to fix this issue?
Thank you
I had a similar problem for Visual Studio 2015 RC1. The Android images take a long time to download, especially if you are downloading other things on the same network and have slow internet.
I found the AndroidSDK_SI.log file in %temp% and it shows it was actually still downloading even after 3 hours!
I believe the installer really needs to show better feedback. It seemed like the installer was hung, but it was actually downloading very slowly. Something as dirty as an option to read the currently running log file being in a text box would even help.
You can also kill the SecondaryInstaller.exe in Task Manager to stop the Android SDK sub-installer. You can then try fix it yourself or Repair Visual Studio if the install continues and completes.
Repair is available by right clicking on Visual Studio in the Microsoft Windows "Programs and Features" control panel section and clicking "Change". This will bring up a Visual Studio dialog where you can Modify or Repair the install.
I'm struggling on an installation problem with visual studio ultimate 2013: after the download of the web installer I tried to open it but the installer started just for a split second and than it went away, I tried with the iso, same story, tried to repair the .net framework but nothing's changed, I also made an attempt running as administrator but even that didn't work.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
I have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on my laptop but I want to install the full version of Visual Studio Express 2013 (for both Web and Windows Desktop).
Link to Visual Studio Express (full)
When I run the uninstaller from my Control Panel, nothing happens. It stays on this for hours. I've tried to run the setup.exe (downloaded from Microsoft) again and choose the "Uninstall" function but I couldn't because the same thing happened. I have also tried to run the setup for the full version of Visual Studio but without success. What should I do?
Do you uninstall with admin rights?
Is there a popup window in the background asking for user and password?
There was a problem with my Windows 8.1 and I reinstalled it. Now Visual Studio works perfectly!
I had this and a co-worker recommended that I simply try a second time. It sounded pointless without any changes, but it actually worked the second time. I cannot explain why. Just try it twice.
I'm using Visual C# 2010 Express RTM with Windows Phone Developer Tools April CTP Refresh and when I run any Build option, nothing happens. I've deleted the contents of the build output folders and that doesn't do anything. I can't even run the project, because it complains the executable is missing (XNA Game for Windows project). I've tried the project on another computer and it builds just fine. Any ideas?
I'm not sure how this happens, but here's how I fixed it:
Open Build -> Configuration Manager
In the "Platform" column, choose x86 instead of Any CPU
Click close
These exact steps may not work for you, but I've found that if you play around in the Configuration Manager window it will usually resolve this problem.
try a reinstall?
Visual Studio 2010 doesn't work with current versions of XNA Studio. You'll could wait until XNA Studio 4 comes out (apparently due this month).
To solve your issue, use Visual Studio 2008 or use the workaround at this link to continue using VS2010 and XNA.
