Install Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows8 machine

I was trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows 8 PC. In some final stage I got message
This driver cannot be used due compatibility issues
VSPerf Profiling Control Driver
Microsoft Corporation
Later, when system was trying to install SQL Server Express I got final result:
The following component failed to install:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Services Pack 1 (x64)
I was trying to run VS and got message:
Cannot create the window.
How to solve these problems and make visual studio running on Windows8?
This isn't a complete answer, but the profiling driver cannot be used in Windows 8: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/profiler/archive/2012/12/10/the-visual-studio-profiler-on-windows-8.aspx

Visual Studio 2012 - MSVCR110.dll error

I have a Windows 7 Express, with Visual Studio 2012. When I run it I get this message:
"C:\windows\system32\MSVCR110.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try reinstalling the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support".
I tried these things:
Repairing Visual Studio with installation.
Uninstalling and installing again.
Installing .Net framework manually.
Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable
Getting the .dll from a computer with a working Visual Studio 2012.
Using a different installation of Visual Studio.
Nothing worked and I have no idea what's the problem.
The two installations that I've used worked on different computers with the same operating system.
Please I need ideas!!
Do you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed? If Not do that first.
Even after that you have two options:
Remove & Reinstall by downloading a new copy of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
Check System requirements section carefully it requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed to work.
Reinstall Visual Studio 2012 with Update 4

Install Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 8

I am currently working on a long-term project for which I need Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2012 (2010 not necessary). Right now I have Windows 7, but I would really like to upgrade. Is it possible to install all of those versions of Visual Studio on Windows 8?
2012 can obviously installed (and takes away the need for 2010). I already found reports that 2008 is also possible if the 3.5 framework is enabled through Windows Features, but I'm unsure about Visual Studio 2005.
Is it possible and does anybody have any experience with this?
PS: Do not come with solutions as "Why still use 2005, 2008, ...", I really need it.
After installing it on VMWare (Virtualbox gives errors) I've enabled framework 3.5 (which indeed contains 2.0 and 2.5). After that I've installed Visual Studio C# Express Edition. During installation and startup of VS it gives a lot of "This program has been known for comptability problems" warnings and they offer to search help online or to run it as usual. I've always opted to let it run as usual. It installed fine and I could compile and run a Visual C# Windows application.
Visual Studio 2005 Standard installed mostly fine for me. I installed it on Windows 8 on an x64 CPU. It complained a bunch about "known compatibility issues," but if I told it to carry on everything seemed to go fine. The only catch was that "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x64" failed to install. Also, I had to run Visual Studio as administrator the first time so it could finish its setup, but after that I've just run it with my normal account.
Download Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and install to VMWare or Virtual Box. It's a 3 month trial and would allow you to test VS2005 plus the others. Once downloaded, it's a fast install. You can download from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx
For an install of Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 I install three things: (1) Visual Studio 2005, (2) Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1, and (3) Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista.
The Visual Studio 2005 service packs can be a bit difficult to locate on Microsoft's web site since everything is really about Visual Studio 2012 and later.
When installing Visual Studio 2005, there will be a number of Incompatible warnings displayed. I just click through them to get to the end.
Also I do a custom install and do not install some components: (1) Crystal Reports and (2) SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1 which seems to be for all editions of Visual Studio 2005 including Professional Edition which I use.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista is required to update Service Pack 1 to work with Windows Vista and later.
Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 won't install by default on Windows versions later than 7.
In Windows 8.1, go to:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off
Check the box labeled ".NET 3.5 (Includes 1.0 and 2.0)" and press OK / Apply.
My system has issues with trying to download the files for such programs, and thus there is a way to bypass this error by running a script which installs the files from a Windows installation disc.
Here is the script (for error 0x800F0906, at least):
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
You can replace /Source:D: with whatever drive letter you may be using for your optical / virtual drive, if needed.

SQL Server Management Studio won't work after Windows Update

Came to work this morning, my PC (Win7 x64) had force rebooted by Windows Update. Now, SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2008 r2) fails when connecting to a database and trying to expand the tree view, citing:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface
type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider'. This
operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component
for the interface with IID '{6D5140C1-7436-11CE-8034-00AA006009FA}'
failed due to the following error: No such interface supported
(Exception from HRESULT:0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
(Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
The following updates were installed during the night:
Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 System (KB2553090)
Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 Web Platform Tools (KB2548139)
Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 Report Viewer (KB2549864)

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2616676)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - September 2011 (KB890830)
So, quite a bit. The Event Viewer shows no errors (not regarding this, anyway) and all updates were successfully installed. I'm kind of stuck here right now, I've seen some articles recommending re-registering DLLs, but so far that hasn't worked.
Any help would be most welcome!
Finally found a fix!
Seems like Internet Explorer is the culprit, for some very strange reason.
Launch command line in administrative mode.
Go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer or c:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer if you have Win x64.
Execute regsvr32 /u ieproxy.dll (this might throw an error if it isn't loaded)
Execute regsvr32 ieproxy.dll
This did the trick for me (actually, I registered/unregistered one extra time, but that shouldn't have anything to say?)!
Hope this helps anyone!

How to deploy a Office 2010 add-in with Visual Studio 2010 setup & deployment?

We have an error during the installation after running our installation:
Component Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86 and x64) has failed to install with the following error message:
"A failure occurred attempting to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86 and x64)."
The following components failed to install:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86 and x64)
See the setup log file located at 'C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD831C.tmp\install.log' for more information.
The log file return:
Verifying file integrity of C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD831C.tmp\VSTOR40\vstor40_x64.exe
WinVerifyTrust returned -2146869232
File not trusted
Installing using command 'C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD831C.tmp\VSTOR40\vstor40_x64.exe' and parameters ' /q:a /c:"install /q /l"'
Process exited with code 536870913
Status of package 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x86 and x64)' after install is 'InstallFailed'
How proceed to install successfully our Office 2010 add-in?
UPDATE: Ok for your answers but the goal is to deploy the app with the installer I test. So the end-user will have the same error as me. The goal is to avoid this error in the setup configuration in Visual Studio 2010. How can I add VSTO 4 runtime in the installer and obtain no error?
It may be Microsoft bug. They have released un-signed version of the installer that throws error:
WinVerifyTrust returned -2146762496. File not signed.
I'm not sure if it will help in your case. The fix for me was to download new version from Microsoft downloads website .
The full description of the bug is available here:
VSTO Runtime installation error
Are you you installing with elevated privalages? That may be why WinVerifyTrust is not trusting vstor40_x64.exe.
Second thing to check is if you are installing in order - first the .NET run time (3.51 or 4.0, depending on your add-in), then vstor40_x86.exe or vstor40_x64.exe (depending on client machine x86 or x64), then your solution.
If it's not as simple as this, check out Troubleshooting Office Solution Deployment and/or Troubleshooting ClickOnce Deployments (if you're using ClickOnce).
