installing nSight Studio with Visual Studio - visual-studio

I would like to start programming CUDA.
I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Express.
I've also isntalled nVidia nSight Visual Studio.
And I have all common prerequisites (Net FrameWork, Java, ...)
But I cannot see any CUDA option in my Visual Studio options nor project properties.
What should I do?
Do I also need to install the Cuda toolkit? It's offered as a separate package but nSight has already installed something called cuda toolkit.
regards
I'm using Windows 7 64bit

Due to a technical limitation in the Visual Studio Express editions, Nsight for Visual Studio only supports Visual Studio 2008 Professional and above and Visual Studio 2010 Professional and above.

You need to install Cuda toolkit and Nsight for debugging.
As far as vs 2012 is concerned did you follow this guide?

Although I made it work for build I cannot debug with nsight cause its just incompatible with visual studio 2012. I've tried nsight 3 rc2 Till now, I haven't found any way to make it work and I think I have to reinstall VS 2010...
"Nsight Visual Studio 2012 support will come with the next version that is scheduled for Q2'13.
One big reason for not supporting VS2012 is that the CUDA 5.0 toolkit doesn't support the new toolchain. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I should mention that the next release candidate of Nsight 3.0 will support C++ AMP debugging in VS2012 (but no other Graphics or CUDA features will be supported)"

Intel fortran on vs2013 and vs2015 possible?

I run Visual Studio 2013 with Intel Fortran integrated.
Now I switch to VS 2015. Can I integrate the same Fortran installation in VS2015 too? How?
or must I reinstall Intel Fortran and integrate with only VS 2015?
The current release of Intel Visual Fortran (16.0) will integrate with all versions of Visual Studio from 2010 through to 2015, at the same time.
After installing a new version of Visual Studio you will need to reinstall Intel Visual Fortran.
Works fine in vs2019. After install, oneAPI-Base Toolkit and oneAPI-HPC Toolkit search FortranCompilerPkgs.vsix and intall it.

Nsight installation on both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012

I am using Windows 7 64bit on a Notebook with a GeForce GT 650M, driver version 335.23.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional + SP1 and Visual Studio 2012 Professional installed.
I need to use the CUDA Toolkit 5.5 on both of them, but when I launch the installer of Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.2.2., it is installed only on VS2012 and not on VS2010. It says:
Installed:
- Nsight for Visual Studio 2012
- Nsight Monitor and HUD Launcher
- Nsight C++ AMP Debugger for Visual Studio 2012
- Nsight C++ AMP Target Support for MSVSMON
Not Installed:
- Nsight for Visual Studio 2010
Reason: VS2010 was not found
- Nsight for Visual Studio 2008
Reason: VS2008 SP1 was not found
My questions are: it is possible to install Nsight on multiple versions of Visual Studio? And if it is, how can I do this?
Thank you for your support.
Best,
Giulia
Nsight supports multiple versions of VS for sure as long as VS is installed correctly.
Could you make sure your VS2010 is workable? One thing is check regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ApplicationID. It should be "VisualStudio". If there is, would you mind paste your VS2010's version? Thanks.

Install WinCE 5.0 Platform Builder SDK - build code with Visual Studio 2012 or higher

I have a Windows CE 5.0-based Platform Builder image. It is intended to be installed on Visual Studio 2005. My team would like to upgrade our build tools to utilize Visual Studio 2012, but Visual Studio 2012 does not support this platform image.
To be clear; I am not asking whether or not Visual Studio 2012 (or higher) supports Platform Builder SDKs targeting Windows CE 5.0. That question has already been answered (more or less), and the answer is clearly "No."
Instead, what I'd like to do is install the Platform Builder SDK, and manually modify the Visual Studio 2012 environment to allow compilation of my Windows CE code. Features like remote debugging and deployment are acceptable losses to my team; we have our own pathway for deployment and debugging on our embedded device. What I'm really hoping to gain is simply the ability to build WinCE 5.0 code in VS2012, which was intended for VS2005. I am attempting to reduce the number of Visual Studio installations, and get access to the superior intellisense faculties of newer versions of Visual Studio.
Does anyone know if this is possible? How would I go about doing that?
There does not appear to be a way to do this, in such a fashion as to no longer require Visual Studio 2005.
You can, however, use registry hacks to force Visual Studio 2012 to build a WinCE 5.0 project by utilizing the compiler binaries from Visual Studio 2005, during compilation. This would allow you to develop code in VS2012, but would also require that VS2005 be installed for a successful build.
Here is an article explaining the steps to set this up.
VS2012 doesn't have any of the Windows CE compilers. The last one that shipped with compilers compatible with CE 5.0 was VS 2008, so that's the "latest" version you'll be able to use to build. (VS2012 is capable of building for Windows CE, but only for WEC 2013, and only after installing a WEC 2013 SDK, which includes the requisite compiler pieces).
In short, there's no way you can get VS2012 by itself to compile a CE 7.0 or earlier app.
There is a plug-in for VS 2013 that will allow you to use that IDE for managed code (I've never used it, so I can't say how well it works), but it still requires VS 2008 to be installed to get the compilers.

Cuda 5.5 Toolkit (Windows) + MS Visual Studio requirement

I'm helping someone with a new Windows 7 workstation that has two nVidia GPUs and see that MS Visual Studio is required for the complete Cuda 5.5 Toolkit to install properly.
Silly question: is Visual Studio not a free download? Also: there are many different versions of Visual Studio 2012, which should be installed?
Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Visual Studio comes in free and non-free versions.
According to the CUDA 5.5 release notes, you need either the full version of Visual Studio 2012 or the free version, which is called Visual Studio Express, and has some limitations compared to the full (paid) version.
You want the version of Visual Studio which is for Desktop use (which includes the C++ environment).

Visual Studio 2010 and WinCE 5.0

Is it possible to use a platform builder 5.0 SDK in visual studio 2010 for a C++ project.
I want to compile code for a specific ARM WinCE 5.0 environment and I have VS2010 at the moment.
The Microsoft website recommends visual studio 2005. I'm currently downloading the VS2005 evaluation but I'm also a bit worried about installing this on a machine that already has vs2010 installed.
Any advise would be greatly received.
Read this question: ETA on Smart Device Projects for Visual Studio 2010
In short, Visual Studio 2010 does not currently support Smart Device projects so you cannot do what you want. You can use either VS2008 or VS2005 for Smart Device application development.
VS2005 and VS2010 on the same machine should not pose a problem as far as I know. You can read this msdn forum and this SO question in that regard.
