I'm using Visual Studio 2012 for C++ desktop development. My company writes libraries for other developers, and because some customers are understandably loathe to upgrade once they settle on a development platform, we need to support developers at various update (née "service pack") levels.
It seems that Microsoft is (equally understandably) pushing everyone to get all the service packs when they get any, since when I ask to download Update 1 here, it pushes me to Update 3, which includes Updates 1 & 2.
I have now archived Update 3 (using the /layout flag on the installer), but I don't see a way to get just Update 1 or Update 2, and yet that is exactly what I need. How can I get these updates?
Answer from Microsoft:
There is no longer update 1 and 2 from official site, I cannot provide
a link for you either. Actually I would recommend your customer update
their VS to avoid possible development problems. There are logs of
fixes for VS on Update 3.

I use TFS at work which I am quite famililar with, I need a simple version of something similar that integrates into VS for my home hobby projects.
The only things I really need is :
Task lists, with detail pages where I can record info about how I might implement the task / test it.
Categorisation, prioritisation.
SVN / VS support so I can commit to SVN at the same time referencing the task.
I have tried using notepad and the tasks in VS but thats just too mimimal. And other solutions that cater for full agile/scrum are OTT.
Thanks.
Microsoft now provide "Visual Studio Team Services" (it was first released under the name "Team Foundation Service" and later renamed to "Visual Studio Online" and then renamed again recently). It provides most (perhaps all) of the facilities of TFS but in the cloud; actually in Azure which is Microsoft's own cloud. The system is free for up to five users.

You could try Trac and put all your tasks in those Trac tickets. The SVN cross-linking is excellent. First, have a look at the Trac playground to test it. If it makes you happy, there is a good Windows bundle called Bitnami Trac including all necessary tools, and it's for free and easy to install. Also check out the Trac homepage.

Does anyone know an easy to use application that creates exe setup installation package for any windows program? InstallJammer looks a good candidate but its development is discontinued and it does not create a desktop icon although I configured it to do so (probably a bug - googling did not help much). Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.
All a question of how complicated you want to get. If you just need something quick to install a handful of files, I would recommend NSIS. If you need something with a bit more power and flexibility I'd go with WiX, which emits Windows Installer MSI packages.
Both of these a script\text based, so you can see what you are doing, and don't have any license fees.
I second the recommendation for NSIS. It will do everything you need, works with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Is compatible with 64-bit and handles user privileges and short-cuts.
It is all I use for all of my installers and patches and some of them are quite complex, it is also free and open-source.
Download the main framework at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and then I would also recommend using the HM-NSIS editor for writing your scripts http://hmne.sourceforge.net/

Like this done in
http://directory.fsf.org/
http://www.ohloh.net/
so anyone in our company (include bosses) can look:
what projects exist (good to have web search capability)
who is primary mainteners, responsible employees
provide CHANGES, latest version
point to BTS (Trac/Mantis), VCS (SVN/Git/HG), Wiki, Mail list, NNTP, Night build, CI build, etc...
may be provide some summary info based on activity on BTS/VCS (how many opened bugs, how often and who commit)
I don't need extra features as Wiki. and package must work with several existing sofware management/development tools, and does not restricted with Java/C#...
I look on WEB without happen as don't know gold "keywords". Search on StackExchange also don't show any result.
Some requested features available in enterprise application architecture for project hosting (like KForge, FusionForge, GForge) but thay too complex and dictate toolset for teams...
Seems that all existing software directory project built in house and their sources are not released for public.
Look for most complete list of software directories enabled site that I found. Only OpenSymphony provide sources of some components.
So complete lightweight solution does not exist currently.
I going to write own...

I am looking for an open source tool for doing automation testing of my windows form application in windows 7.
Personally I use http://nunitforms.sourceforge.net/ NUnitForms. It's an extension of the venerable NUnit framework and supports Visual Studio. There are lots of plugins for Visual Studio that can help with managing your tests. I use JetBrains Resharper http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/ to do the trick. You can also just use the built in functionality and run the tests from NUnit itself.
Hope this helps,

If you need GUI testing, hook up unto gui manually and create your own 'clickers' and 'inputers' for it. Keep it as simple as possible, to avoid producing bugs in that code. Then, you can call this from Nunit.

Are there any light weight tools (preferably portable so I can put it in a memory stick) that can compile C# code snippets? I don't want to load Visual Studio, create a project and all to test a small code snippet.
Thansks!
How about http://rextester.com/rundotnet?
This is online - so always available - downsides are it's a little slow, so good for trying out simple things quickly - not so great if you're doing anything more complex.
Alternatively if you want an offline approach try Linq Pad
http://www.linqpad.net/
Although it was primarily created to debug LINQ statements - it actually works as a great lightweight general purpose IDE.
SnippetCompiler would be one, though it hasn't been updated for a while so could be out of date.
Edit: See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2775055/looking-for-replacement-for-snippet-compiler for more up-to-date alternatives
I have created a lightweight version of Visual Studio. It is essentially just the
packages required to get MSBuild.exe working.
The installer is a PowerShell script that sets the necessary variables, registry
keys and files.
