Windows 7 installer not showing FileInUse Dialog - visual-studio-2010

I have created an installer in visual studio following normal procedure. I run my application. Task manager is showing it. I keep it open/running, and go to uninstall the application. But, windows (in which visual studio is not installed) does not show fileinuse dialog. I have checked the problem in a fresh windows 7 machine in which visual studio is not installed. Does any extra package is installed during visual studio installation which helps showing the fileinuse dialog?

unable to locate visual studio installer

When I trying to open visual studio installer in visual studio 2017 an error message is displayed: can't locate visual studio installer. It might be because I deleted it by mistake. I tried to look for the download of visual studio installer and did not find it. I must delete complitly visual studio 2017 from my drive as fast as it possible.
Go to control panel>>Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features>>right click on visual studio>>select change.
your installer window will appear on the screen.
Try below link

Download installer from above link and then run installer.
It will automatically display your installed vs 2017 components
From there you can install/uninstall vs 2017
Run the installer again. You don't have to uninstall first. I had the same problem when updating to v15.2 today.

Why do I get a Windows Installer popup whenever I build a project in Visual Studio 2010 or 2013?

Whenever I attempt to build a project in Visual Studio 2010 or 2013, I get a Windows Installer popup that says "Please wait while Windows configures Visual Studio".
How can I make this popup go away?
Root Cause:
Windows thinks that the installation is broken because of a missing folder.
Proper Solution:
Uninstall and reinstall the affected versions of Visual Studio.
Workaround
Create the following empty folder
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC
The presence of this folder will stop the popup from appearing.

VS2010 doesn't appear in my apps windows 8

Mine is a Windows 8 machine. I installed Visual Studio 2012, then went to Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Later I was told to install Visual Studio 2010.
The first two installs worked great. Got all the neat icons and everything is good. MSVS2010 SP1 got installed successfully.
Now the third install of Visual Studio 2010 is where I am stuck.
I am downloading it from a Microsoft licensed CD. No errors during installation, but it is only installing Microsoft Visual Studio command prompt, X64 Win64 command prompt and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 documentation. Nothing else. So basically I dunno where to start to fire up the program.
So I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7 to find the devenv.exe. Couldn't find in either of the locations.
Then went to Run and typed devenv.exe, boom VS2010 opens. So I did a Apps search on Windows 8. When I type devenv.exe the only thing I could find there is SQL Server data tools which has a VS2010 icon. Double click this and VS 2010 opens. So my guess is SQL server 2012 needs VS2010 and installed it.
Questions:
Where is devenv.exe?
Why isn't it installing the rest of the stuff?
How do I start VS2010?
I don't think double clicking on sql server data tools is the correct way. I want VS2010 to appear in my Apps just like any other application. This could be a rather silly question. I did a lot of research and am kinda confused with all these parameters.
In Windows 8, if you search for "Visual Studio" in "Start" screen you won't find VS 2010. Instead search for "devenv", it appears.
Searching for "SQL server data tools" also will work.
In 64bit machines, you can find 2010 in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
Create a Desktop short cut.
Uninstalling and re installing Visual Studios is not required for the Visual Studio 2010 icon to show up on Windows 8.The Visual Studio 2010 icon is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv. You can add this icon to your task bar or windows desktop and launch Visual Studio 2010. There are two devenv icons in that folder location just select latest one you can find that out by looking at the file properties. The folder path I mentioned above will be different for 64 bit windows machines.
For some reason Visual Studio 2010 did not completely load for me, although it said it did. So I went into its folder and selected the setup.exe to run maintenance mode. There I re-installed it. It asked me (this time) to restart my laptop. I did that. Then I was prompted to update it using the service pack 1 update, via the given link. Then it was ok.
There are two ways to view:
In Win8 or Win8.1 search for "devenv.exe" name it appear and create shortcut in desktop.
Go to this address on your computer:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
and create a shortcut for this file on your desktop.
You have two options here
in windows 8.0 or 8.1 go to run and type'devenv' and then the Visual studio opens up for you.
Else search using the app name and select 'Microsoft Visual studio' from the list of apps installed, right click on the app and select the option 'pin to the start' or 'pin to the task bar'. This creates short cut with the icon of the app handy.

Can't Find NuGet with VS 2010 Shell Extension Manager

Following these instructions as best I can, the VS 2010 Shell Extension Manager turns up no results when searching for "nuget". The only deviation as far as I can tell is that the instructions show using VS 2010 Ultimate, and I am using the Shell. I had no problem with AnkhSvn and I can see all kinds of other extensions in the Online Gallery. One other thing, before attempting this I installed the NuGetPackageExplorer (not even really sure what it is, just trying to get off the ground with NuGet and I found it on their CodePlex download site -- ultimately I'd like to publish my own NuGet package, since someone suggested it to me and I've heard about it a couple other times). Any Ideas?
Update
I recently got a new computer (Windows 7 64 bit) and freshly installed Visual Studio 2010 Shell and F# 2.0 and am having the same exact issue. Note: I just checked the About page and it says the only installed component is Visual Web Developer 2010 (seemed odd to me).
It seems like the Visual Studio 2010 "Shell" [1] is not one of the supported applications. Do you have a full version of Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Premium, or Ultimate?
From the NuGet FAQ page [2]:
What is required to run NuGet?
NuGet requires Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010. The NuGet Package Manager Console requires that PowerShell 2.0 be installed. Powershell 2.0 is already installed if you have the following operating system:
Windows 7
Windows Server 2008 R2
If you have the following operating systems, you must manually install Powershell 2.0.
Windows XP SP3
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Windows Vista SP1
Windows Server 2008
[1] Is this the VS 2010 Shell you have? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8e5aa7b6-8436-43f0-b778-00c3bca733d3

Edit: Check what's selected in the left pane of the Extensions Manager. It defaulted to "Installed Extensions" for me, that could be your problem. Select "Online Gallery -> All" then do the search again.
--
Not sure why it's not showing up, but you can install NuGet by going to the website and clicking the blue "Install NuGet" button. This will take you through to a download page for the latest version (1.3).
NuGet can be installed and updated using the Visual Studio Extension Manager. To check if your copy of Visual Studio already has the NuGet extension, look for Library Package Manager in the Tools menu of your copy of Visual Studio.
