In fear of sounding like a noob;
I'm having troubles uninstalling visual studio 2013 update 1.
How do I do that?
Go to "Control Panel" -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> On the left bar "View installed updates". Then scroll down to "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 1"
ok.. now I feel stupid, I looked here first, but didn't find it ;) Sigh my eyes was in the was I guess ;)
I have had a few issues with uninstalling VS 2013. For some reasons, I had to use this version as I had some codes which could be only compiled with version. After uninstallation, it damaged my icons and etc. The only way, I could get rid of it was to do system restore. I know it's a pain in the neck but that's a safer approach.

I see this in the newly released VS 2015:
However, clicking it does nothing (tried also double-clicking, shouting at it, etc.). How to interact with this element?
It looks like they just released Resharper 9.1.2 today (July 21, 2015).
I had this same problem when I installed 9.1.1 Reshaper from Visual Studio 2015 in the Tools -> Extensions and Updates... menu.
It's likely best to just grab it on their site right now.
Ah, it's ReSharper 9.x causing this. They probably need to update for VS2015 RTM yet.
My Visual Studio taskbar previews are like this:
It is showing since the last boot, as Windows was crashed last time, and the latest extension I have installed is VSCommands, but I don't think that is causing the problem.
There is no other issue, btw. Can anyone help please?
OS: Windows Technical Preview Build 10074.
VS: Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4.
If you need any more info, let me know.
VSCommands changes the VS taskbar previews to show the solution, branch and current file name. The feature is called "Solution Badges" and can be disabled from the VSCommands options page.
I was running Visual Studio 2013 with Resharper 8, and everything was fine and dandy untill I tried to install Jetbrain's Dottrace trial version. It brought with it something called Resharper Ultimate, which in turn made sure none of my Intellisense or Resharper features worked.
So I uninstalled Resharper Ultimate using the Windows uninstall feature. But Visual Studio seems to still consider it installed, because its options appears in the program's preferences dialog. Not to mention the top menu choice.
I have also tried installing Resharper 8 anew, in hopes that it will cleanse my machine of Ultimate, but it detects no previous installs. So now, I'm getting options dialogs for both Resharper and Resharper Ultimate. And none of the features work.
Plus I'm getting this error message when opening a solution with Resharper active:
I have looked at the mentioned XML file, but am not sure of what to make of it.
The solution from ReSharper Support Site:
To completely remove new .NET tools from Visual Studio, please try the
following:
Run ReSharper 9.x (new .NET Tools) installer once again - do you have
any products with status Repair? If so, please select Remove for them
and select Skip for others. If there are no items with Repair action,
please remove the following folder manually C:\Users{User
Name}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio{Visual Studio
version}\Extensions\JetBrains
I would try to clean the registry as per this article.
At the top of the blog post, there is a continuation of this story which describes fow to finalize the fix of the issue you experience by removing manifest and package definitions of your VS extensions.
Hope it helps
Visual Studio has a habit of opening the wrong file in my solution - only a small proportion of the time, but several times a day and often enough to be annoying. It can happen when doing any of the following:
Opening a file from solution explorer
Using F7 to switch between aspx and code behind
Right clicking a method and selecting "go to declaration"
Has anyone else experienced this and have any ideas as to what could cause / fix this?
Update: I've finally got round to installing SP1 and it still occurs so I'm back to looking for a solution.
In case it's relevant, I've got both Resharper 5.1 and Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools installed.
Update 2: It looks like Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools was part of the problem, I’ve uninstalled it and have not had issues since.
I uninstalled Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools and it now works.
Have you service pack 1 installed?
I have installed CodeRush and ReFactor package but i don't see any changes on my Visual Studio 2010 ide. I check add-in and extension manager but i don't see anything belong CodeRush or ReFactor. Do i have to do some extra settings for it ? How can i understand it is installed on Visual Studio 2010 ?
Is it possible that you've installed CodeRush Xpress instead of the full CodeRush?
CodeRush Xpress has no 'DevExpress' menu and as such it may well look like nothing has changed.
Check this by using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+O shortcut. If CodeRush is functioning, then this should launch the options menu.
It is also possible that the install did not complete correctly for some reason.
I recommend, uninstalling and reinstalling as a first measure.
If this does not succeed, then I recommend contacting support directly via either support#devexpress.com or better yet, by filing a bug report in Support Center.
