I had to reinstall my OS. Visual Studio 2010 is located on D, so that it survived the new installation of Windows. Can I now use VS2010 "as always" or do I have to setup path variables etc.?
Besides that, which executable do I have to use to start VS? I searched around the executables in the VS folder, but could not find anything helpful.
You will have to reinstall, as associations (and such other registry entries) will be missing from your new OS.
Fortunately, the VS setup has a repair option, so it shouldn't need to copy many files.

I am running Visual Studio 2012 (version 11.0.50727.1)
I have been trying to install https://jsonsource.codeplex.com/, a tool to allow JSON data to be imported using SSIS. To install this, once I have copied the dll's into the correct folder, I need to register them using gacutilexe. this is where my problem starts. I am supposed to run Gacutil.exe from the Visual Studio command line. This is supposed to be present in the Start Menu as VS2012 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt (it isn't), I am also supposed to be able to access it using vsvars32.bat (using the add external tools menu in Visual Studio, and supplying the location of vsvars32.bat as an argument). However, I cannot find vsvars32.bat anywhere within my C drive.
I have found several versions of GacUtil.exe in various subfolders of C:\program files(x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows, although the installation guide lead me to believe it should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents, i.e. where I copied the dll's for the tool I am installing. I'm not sure which of these (if any) I should be using once I get to the visual studio command prompt. Could do with advice here as well.
vsvars32 is meant to be somewhere within C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools, but it is definitely not present any where within the Visual Studio folder.. There are also folders for Visual Studio 9 and 10, but these do not contain vsvar32 anywhere within them either.
if anyone could help I would be very much indebted - My options as to how to deal with the JSON source files otherwise are extremely limited. (using Management Studio 2012 rather than 2016, so can't use OPENJSON. If anyone can suggest any alternatives, let me know. This includes just any option to get the entire JSON file file into a cell - I could probably build some kind of extensive string manipulation to script to split it all out once I've got them in there, although this seems like entirely the wrong way to go about things...)
The first time you install the 3rd party package in Nuget Package manager, it will automatically download the .dll to your user temp folder, once you close it, it will gone, but it will register for you. If you need to find where the exactly location is, simply double click that new added .dll in solution window, if you try to reinstall, but it does not allow you to do that, delete the package.config file, and try to reinstall that package. Once that is added again, do not forget to double click that .dll, to see where is reside, move to your own folder, register using gacutil -i command, and should be good.
I had an install issue with the NuGet package manager extension. I am now trying to remove it, but each time I do the remove, I come back to VS2013 PRO and it is still there (win7 sp1 box).
Is there a different way to remove it (I am getting errors whenever I try to open a project).
I ended up calling Microsoft support, and we spent about 45 minutes searching the registry for the particular version of NuGet (there was an old version installed that was not properly removed, keeping the new one from being installed).
We had to search by version id.
VS2013 does not only put things in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions (with a random character folder name)
But also in %appdata%\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions as well as other places. So we had a lot of searching to do, but once we found it and removed the folder and all the old Nuget references from the registry, it was possible to continue and install the new NUGET Package Manager.
Today I found things were corrupt, (probably registry) but a REPAIR (From the install) was able to fix the problems
I have installed VS 2008. When I try to build a project, I am getting an error saying:
Cannot open include file: 'afxcontrolbars.h': No such file or directory
So, I guess I need to have ribbon controls installed for this. Could you please tell me where the SDK is available for download? A link would be very helpful; I googled for it myself, but I could not find it. :(
This seems like a weird problem to me. afxcontrolbars.h is certainly included in a standard VS 2008 installation. The only way you might be missing MFC components is if you installed the Express version, which doesn't come with support for MFC.
The first thing I would do is check to see if I could create and compile a brand new, blank MFC app using one of the built-in templates. If that works, there's something wrong with your project's properties.
Also check manually in the \Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include directory to see if you can locate the header file before you try to manually re-install the platform SDK. It may be as simple as Visual Studio not being able to locate the file. To remedy that, open the Options dialog, expand the "Projects and Solutions" tree, select "VC++ Directories", select "Win32" and "Include files" from the combo boxes at the top, and ensure that $(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include is included in the list:
Of course, the ribbon control (and other ribbon-specific items) weren't added to VS 2008 until the MFC Feature Pack. You will need to download and install that in order to compile applications that take advantage of those features in VS 2008. You can download the Feature Pack here for free.
I have VS2008 on a Win7 64 bit machine.
In my case the include files where installed in the c:\program(x86) folder, but VS was installed in c:\program.
By changing the path to the "hardcoded" path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include
it now works!
I have Visual Studio 2010 and recently both at home and at work have had an issue with missing projects in the Installed Templates. All that projects and the folder called 'Data' is missing So now SQLDatabase, DataSet, AdoNet Entity Data Model, LinqToSQL, XMLFile, etc...
Fixes tried so far:
uninstall some recent framework addon or related products and it comes back.
The most common fix is to do 'devenv /installvstemplates' command which has not worked for me.
check for zip file in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Data\1033 folder and is contains all the appropriate zip files. Also the same for ItemTemplates folder.
Reinstall - Tried this 3 times no luck even went as far as to remove all reg keys and every folder that had anything to do with VS2010.
All complete reset of all VS2010 settings and other related commands.
I'm at a lose at what to do next. Beside a complete OS re-install which seems a little drastic. Anyone have a better solution please?
Run devenv.exe /installvstemplates with elevated privileges
Make sure the .NET version at top of template list matches your solution's .NET version
I had the same problem, but with the C#code item templates, and I fixed it with the following:
Tools/Options/Environment/International Settings/Language:
"Same as Windows" instead of "English"
and then restart VS2010.
I've just run into this issue and resolved it by doing the following:
I got the following folder and its contents from a colleague's PC \Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp.
Then I copied it to the appropriate location on my PC (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp)
I ran the command given in the answers above devenv.exe /installvstemplates using the Visual Studio Command Prompt tool with Administrator priviledges.
Is there any way to uninstall the VS2010 extension correctly without the Extension Manager? I couldn't find any special command line arguments for .vsix file and think that just deleting all the files from Visual Studio's special place is not a right solution.
Yes, actually deleting the folder is exactly what you should do. A "pure" VSIX extension is just a unzip of the files to a folder under %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions.
It's a good idea to check though that it wasn't installed through MSI or some other installer technology by verifying in Windows Add/Remove Programs.
