What would happen if I tried to install the 64-bit version of Visual Studio 2013 Professional on a 32-bit machine? I do not want to attempt doing this without some idea of what might happen.
There is no 64-bit version of Visual Studio.
Is there the 64-bit version of Visual Studio?
http://www.viva64.com/en/k/0025/
"... The main issue that does not let the developers to create the
64-bit version of Visual Studio is the amount of code that they would
need to port to a new platform. Porting the main studio's units will
force the programmers to port all the existing extension packages for
the tool as well. Benefits that will be gained from this high-cost
process are not very obvious at present. Most Visual Studio units will
not get any significant benefits after the port in comparison to their
32-bit versions while the requirements for physical memory the studio
will have while loading large projects might greatly rise because of
the increase of data structure sizes in the 64-bit version. But even
in the current Visual Studio versions, there is a problem related to
long loading time when opening large projects and the increase of
memory consumption will just make it worse. ..."

A while back I had downloaded the Unreal Engine on my new PC, and ran it. A message popped up saying that I needed Visual Studio installed to use the engine. So I went ahead and downloaded the installer for Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, but upon running it, I was notified that I needed 6GB across all drives. Unfortunately for me, I don't have more than 3GB left on my SSD. Is there an alternative to using Visual Studio?
It's been a while since I've installed UE4, but as far as I know, you don't need Visual Studio unless you are going to be incorporating C++ into your game. You're not obligated to use C++, you can make simple games entirely in Blueprint, the visual scripting language of the engine. So that being said, can you skip the message that tells you need Visual Studio and just continue on with the installation? If you can't, then you may be in a bind, because I think that is the only development environment I've ever seen associated with the engine.

Yesterday I had a computercrash and now I need to reïnstall all of my programs. These programs also include Visual Studio 2012.
I knew there were a lot of updates (3, i guess) and I'm wondering what problems is possibly can have when I first install update 3, without installing update 1 or 2.
Should there be any bugs or regressions i should take account of? Update 3 is now installing and it's doing fine (no errors so far)
Visual Studio 2012.3 includes versions 1 & 2 as well, otherwise the installer would tell you to instal first the previous versions.
There is no problem for you, it is like Windows Service Packs, so you won't have bugs or regressions.
EDIT:
Official source:
Visual Studio 2012 updates are cumulative releases that include the
new features and fixes that were delivered in previous releases.

I want to ask other developers about Visual Studio 11.
I'm currently using VS2010 SP1 and some components like DevExpress. All of them is compatible with VS11.
In my situation, i am able to handle all errors during this beta period and i can accept that. But, to be more clear, to deploy my outputs (exe/dll .NET 4.0) to other machines (like customers) do you recommend to use of Visual Studio 11?
Is there any limitation(s) or other things on VS11 and/or deployed / build outputs?
I know, it is BETA but in BETA stage is it safe to use it as a default IDE instead of VS2010.
If I use VS11 I will probably still use .NET 4.0 but not 4.5 Beta.
I liked the new things and IDE interface style of VS11 so its attract me -very much-.
More importantly, do you use it on production?
I'm currently using it as a production tool but only when targeting .Net 4.0 and below. So far I have not found any issues. I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment if you are compiling against .Net 4.5.
Microsoft however does offer production support. You can read more about it here:

Hope it helps!

I am an adjunct professor teaching database and programming classes. I own a desktop and laptop both running Windows. I own an Academic copy of VS 2010 and have it installed/activated at home.
Starting in the Fall I will be teaching C# .NET programming with VS 2010. However, the laptop at the college with it installed is a 5 year old POS. Can I install VS 2010 and activate with the same license on my laptop as I do with my desktop? Or does this violate the license with Microsoft? I thought about buying another copy - but the Academic reseller I deal with said I am only allowed to buy one copy a year. Both are used for Academic purpose - my day job provides me with a laptop so I am not worried they would ever think I am doing non-academic work with these - but I really need to have VS on both.
Thanks,
MDV
As per this pdf (Page 1)
A single license for the Software may not be shared or used concurrently by multiple end users.
It looks to me that it can be installed on multiple machines as long as it is not used concurrently by multiple end users.
Also, reviewing this pdf (Page 9) I see
Visual Studio 2010 Client Edition-Only Licensing
Visual Studio 2010 products can be purchased without an MSDN subscription in certain channels. (See the How to Buy section of this paper for more details).The user can install and use the Visual Studio client software on as many devices as they like. However, the products are licensed on a per-user basis—that is, only the licensed user can use the software.
Yes you can, according to this thread on Visual Studio Developer Center/Visual Studio Forums. (And this comes from the Microsoft licensing specialists)

For a very small side project, I need VS professional. Since the target is .net compact framework, the Express edition won't do (neither will Standard edition). But the price of VS professional exceeds the reasonable price for that project. (Basically, it's just a form with two text entry fields and a button, that creates a text file with the data entered).
Is there an application service provider that lets me use Visual Studio through RDP and charges per hour/day/month?
I've never used the program in anger, but I think that SharpDevelop will produce compact framework applications. You may find that it is feature rich enough for the simple application that you want to write.
AFAIK, the regular licence for VS is for the user, not the install. So if this is available (and I've not heard of it myself), it would be under a different license.
How large is the work? Could you get it done during a trial license? Hopefully that will be enough to convince you to buy a copy (or even an MSDN subscription) for long-term use.
Remember: Visual Studio is just the IDE. You can always use the available SDK and another editor. VS isn't the only .NET tool out there.
If it's not commerical but only for education, just download it from somewhere. Rent model would be stupid, while you contemplating and staring at the screen, there will be counter ticking your $$$$.
I am not sure if VS Prof offers trial period or not. You can try to finish up your project before trial period expired.
Related to Marc's suggestion of a trail version, currently there's also a beta of Visual Studio 2010, perhaps you can make it work for you. I haven't tested it, but it should be compatible with older versions of .net.
