When I try to install Visual Studio 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, I have a error message from installer.
You must upgrade or update Operating Systems to the latest Service Pack using Window Update to meet the requirement before installing this products.
For Windows 8, this product is not compatible with pre-released versions of Windows 8. Please upgrade to latest release version of Windows 8.

I already installed every update on Operating system.
What have I do to install VS2012 Ultimate ?
It is clearly stated by Microsoft that only 4 Windows releases are supported by Visual Studio 2012, and Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) is not qualified,
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64)

I believe the link included in the error message can also lead you to this information.
So stop your fight in vain and try to build a qualified machine.

On my Vista machine, while installing VS 2015 CE, the installer shows message "the specified program requires new version of windows".
Is there anything special we have to do to install VS 2015 CE or it does not support Vista?
Thank you
Visual Studio 2015 can not be installed on Vista.
Supported Windows versions for Visual Studio 2015
Windows 10
Windows 8.1
Windows 8
Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Reference.
I would like to install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7 64-bit.
For some reason, the installer says "Setup Blocked" with an error "This version of Visual Studio requires a computer with a newer version of Windows".
This error is not exactly descriptive of what's wrong. The least I could do was verify that I have the following installed :
Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) with Service Pack 1
Internet Explorer 10
Version: 10.0.9200.16750
Update Versions: 10.0.12 (KB2898785)
All Windows Updates that were available for installing on 11th of Dec. 2013.
Executed the installer with the /log winexp.log argument and got the following : winexp.log.
Any ideas of what else could be the problem ?
Thanks.
Edit : by looking at this question there was a crack that allowed installing Windows Phone's SDK on Windows 7 - does anyone know a similar solution for VS 2013 ?
The minimum requirements are based on the Express edition you're attempting to install:
Express for Web (Web sites and HTML5 applications) - Windows 7 SP1 (With IE 10)
Express for Windows (Windows 8 Apps) - Windows 8.1
Express for Windows Desktop (Windows Programs) - Windows 7 SP1 (With IE 10)
Express for Windows Phone (Windows Phone Apps) - Windows 8
It sounds like you're trying to install the "Express 2013 for Windows" edition, which is for developing Windows 8 "Modern UI" apps, or the Windows Phone edition.
The similarly named version that is compatible with Windows 7 SP1 is "Express 2013 for Windows Desktop"

Visual Studio Express for Windows needs Windows 8.1. Having a look at the requirements page you might want to try the Web or Windows Desktop version which are able to run under Windows 7.

Fake IE10 to install Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio 2013 requires Internet Explorer 10. If you try to install it on Windows 7 with IE8 you get the following error This version of Visual Studio requires Internet Explorer 10”.
The value that the VS 2013 installer checks is svcVersion in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorerkey on 32-bit Windows and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer on 64-bit Windows. Any value >= 10.0.0.0 makes the installer happy.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"
your log files shows it is stopping on error "0x8004C000"

I have asked our IT team to install Lync 2010 in my Windows 2003 server machine.
IT person told that it can't be installed in Windows 2003 server.
Is it not compatible with Windows 2003 server or any other extra software update do we need to install?
I am using Windows 2003 server standard edition sp2.
Lync 2010 requires Windows Server 2008 or later. The previous release, OCS 2007 R2, can be installed on Windows 2003.
I am using Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise with SP2 and I want to install platform SDK.
But all I find is from here, and it is called Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK. I am confused about SP1. For my platform, should I use this version of platform SDK or some other later version (I think there should be SP2 platform SDK, but I did not find out.)

Microsoft doesn't release an SDK for every service pack of every Windows version. Instead, they release service packs along with a system release whenever the system includes new functionality. So for developing on Windows 2003, the SP1 service pack will be fine. Other options include:
the SDK for Windows 2003 R2
the SDK for Windows Vista
the SDK for Windows 7
the SDK for Windows 2008
See the list of supported operating systems to verify that each of them supports Windows 2003.
I wanted to get some feedback about the problems we might face if we deploy Sharepoint 2007 on Windows 2008 instead on windows 2003
Windows SharePoint Services 3 is supported just fine on Windows 2008. You'll need to make sure that you're using SP1.
See answers on ServerFault:
Installing Office SharePoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Installing Sharepoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2
To save you time two main points of the solution are:
Create your own slip-streamed installation of SharePoint with the latest Service Pack included (SP3 at the moment) and then install this directly onto Windows Server 2008 R2.
