I seem to have a really unique problem with my visual studio 2010 installation. Before installing visual studio i installed SQL Server 2012 express and SQL Server Management Studio. After that i installed Visual Studio 2010 ultimate. The installation goes fine but after it is complete i can't find the application launch icons anywhere. the only new programs that are added are Microsoft Test Manager and Microsoft Visual Studio Documentation. Please Help me!
You need to install the Service pack 1 for it to work! You can download it here
I'm not sure which OS you are running but I'm using Windows 8, and I'm dealing with the same issue. I was able to start VS2010 by clicking on the SQL Server Data Tool icon (same as the VS2010 icon). I hope this helps!
Not even in the directory under program files(x86)?
You could try to open the installation again, if it detects Visual Studio it will ask you to repair the installation :)
I right clicked on the .csproj file > open with >...
I guess your Visual Studio program is Service Pack 1; that is why it can't work with sqlserver express edition. I faced same issue but fixed it by installing sqlserver 2008 Service Pack 2 in place of sql server Express I was previously using.

I am trying to open the Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Samples with VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. To my surprise it claims that the individuals projects in the solution each cannot be opened because their project types (.vcxproj) are not supported by this version of the application.
Does anyone know why the vcxproj files cannot be opened, or how I could diagnose and repair the root cause of the problem?
Edit: I can also not open the vcxproj files in Mike Farnsworth's Rayito project.
It means that the projects were created in another version of Visual Studio.
Try to upgrade the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting Upgrade Solution.
Alternatively you could use Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to see if that resolves the problem.
Windows Dev Center indicates that Visual Studio 2012 is required.
Hope this helps
Neither of the other answers seemed to help.
I uninstalled visual studio. I uninstalled SQL server. I reinstalled visual studio. Now it loads C++ projects correctly.
I understand a previous install of visual studio can cause the problem I was having. Apparently so can installing SQL server Express prior to installing Visual Studio 2013 Express.
when I want to install visual studio 2010 sp1 i get this error:
KB2529927v2 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.
How can I fix it?
i think Windows Update isn't as accurate as the Installer itself.
The solution is running a visual studio 2010 product repair from the Programs and features, located on windows control panel.

I was facing the same issue, I just installed the VS2010 SP1 again through the below link and it worked like a charm.

Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.
The problem:
In Visual Studio 2010 Professional I choose Server Explorer and right-click on Data Connections to choose "Add Connection". Then I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred in the
.NET Framework Data Provider for
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5.
Please contact the provider vendor to
resolve this problem.
My enviroment:
Windows 7 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 Professional (trial version)
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
I've tried
Installing Visual Web Developer Express (gives the same problem)
Reinstall of VS 2010 Professional
Reinstall of Sql Server 2008 R2 Express
Tools => Import and Export Setting => Reset all Settings
Run: Devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs

Maybe the registry is messed up in some way.
One post:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vstsstart/thread/b6f7fc36-5a34-4166-9e75-7ac39993182b
says that I should modify the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\DataProviders
But I don't even have a folder named DataProviders in the 9.0 (or 10.0) folder. So maybe that's a problem.
Thanks for any help!
I started "add and remove programs" and removed everything that was named something about "Visual Studio". Then I reinstalled Visual Studio 2010 Professional. And now it works!
I had to do the same and use the VS 2010 uninstall utility to remove everything, then reinstall it all. This was caused by ODP for .Net which didn't install properly and I could not connect to data sources and basically meant I could not edit the dataset file!
I am trying to connect to my TFS 2010 RC server. When I try to connect I get a error message.
Here is a screen shot:
alt text http://xs.to/image-2537_4B8BEAA0.jpg
This is the path I am using to connect: http://tfs2010test:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection
I have Team Explorer 2008 SP 1 installed.
I have read this question: Visual Studio 2008: Can't connect to known good TFS 2010. That is how I got my path that I tried.
I can connect just fine using Visual Studio 2010.
What am I missing?
Have you installed the forward compatibility update from here? Further details can be found here.
Here was my solution to get Visual Studio 2008 Team System to connect to TFS2010: (Beware convoluted).
Install Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer
Uninstall Office 2007 (because of an incompatibility between Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installer and Office 2007)
Run the Microsoft Install Clean Up utility to remove all references to Office 2007 that did not get removed when uninstalling)
Re-Install Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1
Install Visual Studio Team System 2008 Service Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation Server 2010
Reinstall Office 2007 or go to OpenOffice
Access TFS2010 repository...
When I have added TFS servers before, I could not add the port in the URL. Have you tried this without the port, and allow discovery?
A few things to try:
Have you tried connecting with Team Explorer 2010?
Have you tried creating a new project collection?
On your server, open the TFS admin tool and confirm that you have permissions to use that collection.
Be aware, some options are just not available in Team Explorer 2008.
Let me know if you need help with the security/groups on the server. It was very confusing to me when I first tried to work with it.
