Installing Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8 - windows

I have recently installed Windows 8 Preview. I would like to install Visual studio 2012. The problem is VS 2012 is looking for .Net 4.5.x. When I install .Net 4.5.x, it tells me that it is already part of the operating system. Any workarounds ?

The latest Visual Studio RTM versions won't install on Windows 8 Release Preview.
You can try one of RC versions:
Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 RC

Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 RC for Windows 8
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29915

To solve the issue download Visual Studio 2012 though Microsoft Dream Spark, rather than any other source i had the same issue on two separate machines.... this fixed both.

I hope this helps everyone.
Thanks Andrew.

Please Format the system and install the RTM Builds Of WINDOWS 8 and VS 2012

The universal installer for ODAC cannot see Visual Studio

I just installed Visual Studio Community 2015 on my computer and tried to install ODTwithODAC121021 (32bit). Well, the Oracle universal installer tells me it cannot proceed because I have to install Visual Studio first. Can someone tell me how I can persuade the installer that I do indeed have Visual Studio? I'm running everything on Windows Server 2008 R2 in case that helps and I did not install an Oracle client, since I assume that it is included with the ODAC tools. Thank you very much in advance.
The current version of ODT doesn't support Visual Studio 2015.
They will support it after 1 month of VS 2015 RTM
It's now supported, as of 05 October :)

VS2010 and Windows 8.1

I've been developing with VB 2010 and Windows 7 for years.
Are there any "issues" I should be aware off when migrating VB2010 over to Windows 8.1
Any advice will be much appreciated.
John
Make sure you install the latest service packs and hotfixes to be fully compatible with Windows 8 and above:
Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 GDR for Team Foundation Service
Visual Studio 2010 Compatibility Update for Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012
You will need to upgrade your Visual Studio version to 2013 in order to build Windows 8 and 8.1 apps, but as long as you're targeting a Desktop application, you should be fine.
I have used visual studio 2010 on windows 8.1 and windows 10 so far I did not have any issues working on both the OS.
I am using visual studio 2010 professional with sp1
Me too have been using the VS 2010 Professional on windows 7 and I migrated to Windows 8.1.
Usually I develop console apps, desktop apps and I mostly use Access Databases as the database for my programs..
And also I use C# and VB..
So far I havent had any issue with VS2010 on windows 8.1.
That is my experience about that and I hope this will be a help for you.. :)
Thanks

Visual Studio 2013 and Windows Phone

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Pro and then I wanted to install Windows Phone 8 SDK. But it installed Express Edition of VS 2012. Now if I delete VS 2013, what happens with my VS 2012? Can I delete it, because I don't have enough memory for it? Can you help me, please!
They are independent, you can uninstal one without influencing the other.
You can install this version of Visual Studio on a computer that already has an earlier version installed.
but
If you uninstall a version of Visual Studio on a computer that has more than one version installed, the file associations for Visual Studio are removed for all versions.

The extension manifest is invalid, CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix

I just downloaded the CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix from the official composite CMS C1 documentation website and I'm getting an error when trying to install this.
I'm on Windows 8 using Visual Studio 2010 pro
CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix
Has anyone been able to successfully install this extension?
Thanks
David
I am afraid that VSIX extensions
CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix
CompositeC1RazorExtensions.vsix
are only compatible with Visual Studio 2012, as it reads on these pages:
http://docs.composite.net/Functions/User-Control-Functions/Creating-User-Control-Functions/Creating-User-Control-Functions-in-Visual-Studio
http://docs.composite.net/Functions/Razor/Creating-Razor-Functions/Creating-Razor-Functions-in-Visual-Studio
Note. The current version of the extension works with Visual Studio
2012 only.
David i am also using Windows 8 .I have installed visual studio 2010 and 2012. i got this CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix working well with Visual studio 2012...
I think it is compatible with visual studio 2012 only...

Visual Studio 2010 SDK won't install with VS 11 Developer Preview Present

Trying to install the Visual Studio 2010 SDK but it aborts with an error saying I don't have Visual Studio 2010 installed. I of course have 2010 installed. I also have the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview installed. I suspect this might be the issue. Is this known? Is there a workaround (I couldn't find one). Running on Windows 7, 64 bit.
It turns out that there is an SDK and and SDK SP1. If you have VS 2010 SP1 installed (like I have) then only the VS 2010 SDK SP1 will install. Easy as that and nothing to do with VS 11 as I thought.
It's always recommended to install your oldest version of Visual Studio first and move on up to your newest. Uninstall 11 first, then install 2010, and then install 11. You might have better luck than you have so far.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
