I have been trying to install the new Visual Studio 2013 Professional RTM all day, and the installation keeps hanging at the same place every time.
I have been searching high and low for help resources for this and can find absolutely nothing, so this is kind of my last resort.
The system configuration is as follows;
Windows 8.1 RTM 64-bit Professional
Intel i7 CPU
8 GB RAM
I am trying to install with only the C++ Foundation Classes, Web Developer Tools, and SQL Developer Tools.
I continue to get locked up at this part of the process.
The first thing to confirm is that the hash for your downloaded ISO matches that published by Microsoft. Since ISO's don't have built-in CRC checking, this is a common problem. Depending on the source of your download (MSDN, download.microsoft.com, etc.) the SHA1 hash is usually published along with the download. On MSDN Subscriber downloads click on Details for the relevant download.
If that doesn't help, please contact Microsoft Support (http://support.microsoft.com) for assistance.
Hope that helps.

I have many Microsoft softwares present in my installed programs list. I had once installed MS Visual Studio 2015 and then 2017 also and while I did that, I had installed many extra utilities that came with it. I have a feeling I only uninstalled Visual Studio later and did not uninstall those utilities and now they are using up space for no reason. I checked for these online but nowhere could I find anything specific. I need to know if the softwares/programs in this list can be removed without creating issues in my laptop. I am using Windows 10 on an HP laptop. I'll be thankful for any help received.
I still have MS VS Code installed though.
EDIT: I don't have any software that uses these packages/software, but I don't know if these are used by the OS itself or not (or some software that comes pre-installed with Windows10) (some of these softwares/packages come pre-installed in Windows 10)
I've been trying to install VSCommunity Edition for the last few hours with no luck. If you check the screenshot attached. You'll see that I can change the directories for installation for the first 2 requirements, but im unable to change the directory for the 3rd option (the SDK install along with others) which just happen to be the very large percentage of files. It's wanting to install over 45gb of files on my C Drive which is just a 50gb SSD.

I want to switch to D, and the only thing i can see fro any of the Microsoft help docs and posts is "You can change this upon fresh installation".
Which this is. I've uninstalled anything else remotely like it just to be sure.
Do any of you have any ideas or any experience with this issue, or anything i can try? I simply don't have enough space to install on C, and because of this, i can't start learning c# which is required for work.
Thanks so much in advance guys, it's really getting me worried now.
Although I can only guess why Visual Studio is locking down the SDK path, here's a few workarounds and recommendations:
In your screenshot, the installer warns you about possible performance effects of installing Visual Studio on your D drive. I assume this is because your D drive is not an SSD. Microsoft's Visual Studio system requirements document recommends that you install to an SSD, and based on community experience, this is one recommendation you really want to stick to, otherwise IDE responsiveness may be well below your expectations, especially if you decide to install extensions in future.
Instead, you might want to reconsider the set of components that you're installing. If you're only getting started with C#, you'll probably be just fine with developing class libraries, console and web applications targeting .NET Framework or .NET Core. If this is the case, you might want to go to the Workloads tab in the installer and opt out of some of the heaviest workloads (such as Mobile development with .NET). Consider only installing .NET desktop development, ASP.NET and web development, Azure development and .NET Core cross-platform development. If you only select these, your installation is going to be much slimmer.
If minimizing Visual Studio installation as shown above isn't enough, consider an alternative way of setting up your .NET development environment. For example, you can download and install .NET Core SDK and .NET Core Runtime, and use one of the two most prominent alternative code editors: Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider that are both quite compact.
Am I able to download the Visual Web Developer 11 Beta ISO or EXE?
I have a very bad Internet connection that drops out all the time, so I would like to download it at a friend’s place and not use the Web Platform Installer if it can be helped.
If you are an MSDN subscriber, you should be able to download the ISO from the MSDN Subscriber Downloads page. But I suppose that you are not, considering that you're asking this question!
Unfortunately, I cannot find an official ISO of Visual Web Developer 11 Beta that is publically available on Microsoft's website.
However, you can download an ISO of any of the 4 editions of Visual Studio 11 here, which would include all of the functionality of Visual Web Developer. For example, the Professional version is available here. The download is slightly larger, but if the Internet connection is stable, that should not be an issue.
Thanks guys but I found it here http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28975 VS11_BETA_ULT_ENU.iso is the one.
Now I have it all up and running i'm not sure if I like it!!!
you could use internet download manager, even if your connection drops out the downloaded parts would not be corrupted.
I really want to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010. But since I do a lot of development for the Pocket PC version of Windows Mobile I cannot. (I develop for a Symbol device that does not support Windows Phone 7, so that is not a option.)
Does any one know any kind of time frame of when Microsoft plans to add support for Smart Device Projects into Visual Studio 2010?
Update: Since this is looking less and less likely without intervention from the users, Please go here and vote for this feature.
Microsoft's current public statement says that, apart from Windows Phone 7 development, there will not be Smart Device Application Development added to Visual Studio 2010.
This obviously raises concerns and has implications for a lot of people, and there are more than a few of us lobbying Microsoft very hard to change that plan and to get them to include some sort of support for Smart Device programming outside of Windows Phone.
I'm hopeful, maybe even optimistic, that their stance will change and that we will get something - even if it's only CF 3.5 targeting actual hardware (i.e. no emulator support) - at some point down the road. Right now they've got all hands on deck trying to get Windows Phone out the door, and until that happens, I wouldn't expect much for resource allocation toward other device features.
So what does that actually mean? In my mind I wouldn't postpone installing VS2010 until they have device support. My guess is it won't happen until early next year at the absolute earliest and realistically I would say mid to late next year if it happens at all. Again, I'm optimistic that it will, but I'm also a realist, so I'm not going to base my business decisions and future on it happening.
Add your support to the following Microsoft Connect Item, it's had quite a bit of interest being the 3rd highest voted suggestion so far.
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/595712/no-support-for-windows-ce-and-compact-framework-development-in-vs2010
Through private conversations I've had with the Customer Advocacy Team at MS it would appear that they are really digging their heels in over this. MS reneged on promises to include Smart Device Framework support in VS2010 early on in the product life cycle.
It is really frustrating because at some point the development tools will fragment and you'll end up with having to maintain separate development, source control and build systems for targeting Windows CE. Who is to say that the tools will even work on future versions of Windows either or even if they will live side by side with future versions of VS. Remember this lack of support also hurts people doing unmanaged code on CE too.
MS is doing a great job of remaining silent here, the silence is already causing people to look at alternative platforms. Without a statement of intent no business is going to invest in Windows CE development without knowing the future of the OS and the tools to develop on it.
All recent Visual Studio versions can be installed side by side. You could upgrade now for desktop development, then when smart device support is rolled out, migrate your projects to VS2010.

I am forced to have two VS installations side by side. However, another issue - that is causing me more pain is that TFS 2010 doesn't work with VS 2008 - there is a plugin, of course, but there are many issues with it which make it unusable.
So to have source control, I have installed SVN on my machine.
Microsoft once again, has proven that they have no concern for the devs at all. Their tools don't work together, backward compatibility is not there, all of which makes their dev tools a big load of crap.
MS replied to that connect issue:
Hi folks,
In the first quarter of 2013, we plan to provide tooling for Visual
Studio 2012 to create apps for Windows Embedded Compact v.Next. We’ll
be announcing more details in September, including the roadmap for
.NET CF. You can find more details this Fall in the Windows Embedded
Compact website at http://www.windowsembedded.com.
thanks, Doug Turnure Visual Studio PM
I'm working on getting the full license for VS 2008 (or my boss is) but my trial has expired, and I need to do some work.
How can I re-install?
Or, if I install on a different machine (or virtual machine) - how can I get another key without going through the whole download process from MS again?
I'd think you could probably do most of the same work in the free Express Edition, until you get the full license.
