I have installed Visual Studio 2010 and applied SP1.
I am unable to install Silverlight 4 tools to start a silverlight project.
I rebooted the machine after installing Visual Studio 2010 and after applying the SP1, yet I get this error shown below. It seems that Silverlight does not detect Visual Studio on the machine. How to fix that?
This error is misleading.
I had to install the Silverlight SDK before installing the Silverlight tools, and that way works fine.

I have a Windows 8.1 computer with Visual Studio Community 2015 installed and no other version of Visual Studio. I want to install Visual Studio Community 2013 because this is required to use C++ with Unreal Engine 4. But I get
this error message when I try to install.
So I restarted my computer, and the same error message still shows up. I have tried installing from an executable from the Visual Studio webpage, and from a button in Unreal Engine 4 that opens the Visual Studio 2013 installer. What could be the problem? Thanks.
From memory, you're supposed to be able to install multiple versions of visual studio, provided you install them chronologically.
Make a backup.
Then try uninstalling VS 2015. Then installing VS 2013, then re-installing VS 2015.
Better yet, do this in a virtual machine.
- Additionally; A virtual machine will allow you to install VS 2013 in isolation, so that you won't need to uninstall VS 2015.
I have been trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Professional on my Windows 8.1 laptop and I am having problems. It seems to install and when I look at the applications list I see everything has installed except the Visual Studio 2010 (devenv.exe) application itself. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution for it? I have checked that .NET 2.0, 3.x and 4.x are all installed on the machine and active. The installer shows that it is installing the application but when it's completed the application is no where to be found.
I had the same thing happen to me, because I had SQL Server Data Tools installed, causing the shortcut to be named "sql server Data Tools". Try looking up the executable in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe and manually creating the shortcut on the start screen:
Be sure to install the updates as well:
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 GDR for Team Foundation Server
Visual Studio 2010 Compatibility Update for Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012

Hello,
My operating system is Windows 7 - SP1 (64bit). I tried to create a Silverlight project in Visual Basic 2010 (Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - SP1). Complete Install expect SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x64). But I got this message,
So I went to that link shown above (here it is) and downloaded the Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 and tried to install it and this is the message I get,
The link in the above message leads here. What needs to be done here to create a Silverlight project in Visual Basic 2010?
Thanks for Vinicius for the help in above comments.
This is what I did. I went to Programs and Features in Control Panel and uninstalled everything with the term "Visual Studio 2010". Then installed Visual Studio 2010 again. That's it. It worked. It created the Silverlight project with Silverlight 3. I also installed Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 after that and it created the project.
I have Windows 8 machine.
I had visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed on my computer.
I installed the visual studio 2013 preview, and the 8.1 WDK.
After I installed Visual Studio 2013, my old project in C++ wasn't able to be compiled (in Visual Studio 2012) so I uninstalled Visual Studio 2013 and the WDK.
But the issue remains, i cannot compile my C++ project. I get error message such as "Windows.h cannot be found" I looked at the include directory and saw that I have the following include: $(WindowsSDK_IncludePath). but when I open "Macros>>" I can't this macro "$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath)".
I tried to uninstall Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 and reinstall them but it didn't fix the issue.
Does anyone know what might cause this issue and how to resolve it?
In order to build windows 8 apps in visual studio 2013, you must be using windows 8.1. (defined here). This is possibly the issue.
You also wouldn't see the windows sdk include path because the wdk would be uninstalled. I would recommend one of two things
get visual studio 2012 again, and download the windows 8 sdk
get windows 8.1, then install visual studio 2013, and use the windows 8.1 sdk
I know, its quite silly.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate installed. I installed all tools listed here.
When I create a new project in Visual Studio, I don't see anything about Windows Phone or XNA anywhere. I've tried reinstalling the tools. I've tried doing devene.exe /InstallVSTemplates following this.
Am I missing something here?
Update: I did have VS2010 SP1 installed before I installed the WP7 developer tools.
I was able to fix this by doing the following:
Uninstall everything related to Visual Studio 2010
Install Visual Studio 2010
Install the WP7 developer tools
Install VS2010 SP1
What I found was, when installing the WP7 developer tools, if VS2010 SP1 is installed, the tools installer doesn't find VS2010 and the plugins/templates don't get installed.
If there is a way to fix this without doing a reinstall, I'd love to know.
I did in this way:
goto the folder Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Silverlight for Windows Phone\
change the name folder 1033 to 2052
ran devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
start visual studio 2010, I found those templates are available but I got errors when try to create project form them .
So I changed the folder name back to 1033 and ran devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates again.
Hi All,
I solve this problem as follows:
I'm creating a new project (silverlight for windows phone, for example) in Visual Studio Express.
Closing Express edition.
Open created project in my Ultimate edition! :)
