I am new to the windows phone development, and I am struggling to get everything installed related to the windows phone development tools. I had already MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1 installed on my machine (with Windows 7 Enterprise + Windows 7 SP1). I installed the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570), and then Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW successfully. But when I tried to open Visual Studio, it said that only a few Visual Studio components had Visual Studio SP1, and in order to open the Visual Studio I had to install the complete Visual Studio SP1. So then I reinstalled the Visual Studio SP1 and the Visual Studio started working fine.
Now I have MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1, Windows Phone SDK 7.1, and Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW installed on my machine, but when I try to install Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Update, following error message is displayed:
"The update patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I have verified everything. Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Try uninstalling the developer tools completely then install dev tools rtw followed by patch and then sdk
I guess something goes wrong with your Visual Studio SP1 installation, so to uninstall all the developer tools and then doing the fresh installation would be the good Idea.
You can do the installation in this sequence..
Win 7 SP1
Visual Studio
Visual Studio SP1
WP7 developer tools
WP developer tools update
Hope it helps.
That update that is throwing an error is not required. The order of installation is detailed on this page: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/resources/downloads
You want to be installing the SDK 7.1 and then the SDK 7.1.1 update.
There's no need for you to uninstall Visual Studio here.

Unable to install visual studio 2019 community edition in windows 10. Tried out all know possibilities.Working on a project in Unreal engine.
Issue is installer in not opening and stuck...
Thanks
After trying out several possibilities, installing latest Windows 10 SDK
(The Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0) for Windows 10, version 1903)
could resolve the issue. thanks for the support. Could see installer window and proceed with installation of Visual studio.
Is it possibility to create windows universal app for windows 10 in Visual Studio 2013? Should I install some kind of SDK, and after that everything will be ok or I have to use VS2015?
VS2013 won't work, you have to use VS2015.
You can run VS2015 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to create Windows 10 apps.
Make sure to install the components for Windows Universal App Development during the installation of VS 2015. VS 2015 can be installed side by side with VS 2013.
More info can be found on MSDN
No need to have 2015. Not everyone is having this.
If you are using a different development environment than Visual Studio 2015, you can download a standalone Windows SDK for Windows 10 installer. Note that you don’t need to install this SDK if you’re using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 – it's already included.

Good day, I'am trying to install express 2013 with update 2 for Windows in order to run Xamarin.Forms ... The error I'm currently receiving are "This version of Visual Studio requires a computer with a newer version of Windows". My operating system are currently running Windows 7 professional.. Is it required to have Windows 8 to install Express 2013 with Update 2?
EDIT: I've was able to install microsoft visual express 2013 for desktop at http://www.microsoft.com/en-my/download/details.aspx?id=40787
As illustrated in the download link,
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42670
Windows 8 is required if you want to install this update. This is expected, as this update primarily targets Windows Store and Windows Phone apps.
To play with Xamarin.Forms, you can solely use Xamarin Studio. Note that to use Xamarin.Forms in Visual Studio, you usually need Visual Studio Professional editions. Express editions do not allow any third party add-ons to be installed, so you won't get Xamarin bits there.
no not required to upgrade to windows 8....check the recruitment for visual studio and installation details at Microsoft.com
Does anyone know how to develop for Windows Phone 7, with Visual Studio 2013 (thus without installing Visual Studio 2010) on Windows 8.1 RTM?
I've checked the WP8.0 box when I was installing Visual Studio 2013, but it does not provide me the 7.1 SDK which is needed for my solution.
It would be great if I could do it without installing Visual Studio 2010. :D
Thank you in advance :-)
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
HOWEVER
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013.
If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine. The only thing you may not end up being able to do is having a single solution with all projects in that you can use in both versions of VS.
I'm now working on RC Windows 7 and installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition. But I need to work with Java programs, and so I needed to work with Visual Studio 2005. I installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (VS80sp1-KB926747), but I have the following problem:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I previously had the same problem when I installed the Visual Studio SDK, February2007.
I had a similar problem when I was installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional on a Windows 7 machine.
But here is what I did to fix the problem:
Install Visual Studio 2005 Professional
During the install, a window popped up saying that VS2005 might not be compatible with Windows 7. Ignore this warning and continue.
Install Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
Link: Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
Install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe
Link: Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
Note:
If you try and install #3 before #2, you will end up with a message that says :
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
Hope it helps.
BBlake is right look at: https://superuser.com/questions/34190/visual-studio-2005-sp1-refuses-to-install-in-windows-7
It looks like you're trying to install SP1 (the patch) without having first installed Visual Studio 2005 (the application). The SP1 install is only for patching an existing installation.
