I have Visual studio 2008 and Visual studio 2012 installed on my computer, and I want to install DevExpress DXperience 12.1.4 but only with Visual studio 2008.
Is there any way to do it ?
No way. Installer will install the DXperience under all VS instances found.
I want to install DevExpress DXperience 12.1.4 but only with Visual studio 2008.
No, Installer will install the DXperience controls in all version of Visual studio.
But you can remove all the controls from one by resetting the development environment setting from Visual Studio 2012.
On the Tools menu, click Import and Export Settings.
On the Welcome to the Import and Export Settings Wizard page, click
Reset all settings and then click Next.
Now controls shown in the tool bar disappear from Visual Studio 2012. If you want to use them then use the toolBax creator of devexpress to get them back in all visual studio instances.

Hope this is what you require.

My VS-Enterprise license expired over the new year so I installed the community version.
When I go to the control panel it just shows me "Visual Studio Community 2017 (2)" and no option for Visual Studio Enterprise 2017. Also, when I search for the enterprise version and right-click uninstall, it brings me to the same "Visual Studio Community 2017 (2)" in the control panel.
Is there a way of uninstalling enterprise through the community version?
Uninstall Visual Studio
Find the Visual Studio Installer on your computer.
For example, on a computer running Windows 10 Anniversary Update, select Start and scroll to the letter V, where it is listed as Visual Studio Installer.
Alternatively, you can find the Visual Studio Installer in the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe
Click to start the installer, click the Details icon icon, and then click Uninstall.
Click OK to confirm your choice.
Uninstall Visual Studio Installer
To completely remove all installations of Visual Studio 2017 as well as the Visual Studio Installer from your machine, uninstall it from Apps & Features.
Open Apps & Features. For example, in Windows 10, select Start, and in the search bar, type Apps and Features.
Find Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.
Click Uninstall.
Firstly, I installed the DevExpress 13.2.5 version. After that, I installed Visual Studio Community 2013 edition. But I cannot see the DevExpress menu item in the Visual Studio IDE menu. How can I bring the DevExpress menu item?
I suggest you to go through the below DevExpress Knowledge Base thread:
How to resolve issues with Toolbox items
There is an alternate by manually adding them by creating a new DevExpress Toolbox Tab and dragging all the DLLs from DevExpress installation folder in Program Files. check the steps here - How to use DevExpress components with Express versions of Visual Studio
Hint from: No Toolbox created on Visual Studio 2013
If nothing work for you then as you said Visual Studio 2013 was installed after DevExpress components. In this case, the simplest way to add our controls to the toolbox is to reinstall them. Alternatively, you can select the "Repair" option.
Hope this help..
I installed the free version of ApexSQL which is awesome in SSMS, but I really don't want all those menus in Visual Studio. I went to add-in manager and unchecked them, but the Startup column is checked and disabled so every time I restart Visual Studio they come back.
Is it possible to permanently remove the ApexSQL menus from Visual Studio?
If you have ApexSql installed and you don't want those pesky menus in Visual Studio do 2 things.
In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Add-in Manager and uncheck the ApexSql addins. Close Visual Studio.
In Windows 7, there's a hidden folder C:\ProgramData. In Windows Explorer go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns folder. Edit each of the *.MsvsLoader.Addin files and set <LoadBehavior> to 0. If you can't save the files directly, you'll have to save the files to a different location (desktop maybe) and then copy them back into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns because there's some Admin privilege required.
Now when you restart VS those ApexSQL menus should be gone
The issue of crowding menus is resolved in latest releases, now all ApexSQL add-ins are under the main ApexSQL menu as sub-menus. They look like this now:
If you don't need ApexSQL add-ins in VS or SSMS you can simply choose not to integrate them with VS or SSMS during the installation, just check out SSMS ot VS version in which you want the add-ins integrated
Note: To get this dialog in which you can check the wanted integration you need to use individual installers not the main one. You can find all individual installers on this link
Disclaimer: I work for ApexSQL as a Support Engineer
For Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7, I attempted #Chris Bayles suggestion and do not see ApexSql addins under Tools->Add-in Manager.
I followed #Jerome2606's pointer to https://knowledgebase.apexsql.com/remove-add-ins-just-visual-studio-retaining-sql-server-management-studio/ and it worked for me, but only when I removed the parent ApexSQL folder as well.
Summary of what is required to do:
Remove folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ApexSQL
Depending on the version of Visual Studio, the version number in the default installation location will be different:
Product name Version number
Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0
Visual Studio 2012 Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
Visual Studio 2013 Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0
Visual Studio 2015 Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
Select and delete the ApexSQL folder and its contents.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator, then run
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
Please note the command is different for Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and 2015.
If you are using SSMS v18.0 then you can disable the apex features in following way.
You can find the ApexSQL.Complete.Addin.SSMS18.pkgdef file from following path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ApexSQL Complete
Then open this file in Notepad++ Administrator mode and comment the content.

I installed visual studio 2008 first. Then I installed visual studio 2003. The icons of the solution file(.sln), the object files(.obj) and etc all turn to the icon of vs 2003. How can I change them to vs 2005?

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional and I cannot open a Web project in there. Before installing Visual Studio 2010 Pro, I had Visual Studio 2010 Web Developer Express installed. Would this be the cause of the problem? Do I need to uninstall both and reinstall VS 2010 Pro to get Web projects to work?
In order to resolve this issue, I had to click Tools->Import and Export Settings. Then, select Reset all settings. Before doing this, I had uninstalled Web Developer Express, but it should work without doing that.
