I have generated visual studio installer from Microsoft visual studio community version. i want to ask is there any difference of installer generated from visual studio community version and visual studio enterprise version OR visual studio ultimate version ?
The installer project extension is the same, assuming that's what you're referring to. There are no extra (or missing) features that depend on your version of Visual Studio.
I have a Visual Studio solution developed in VS 2013. The solution included a setup project bu InstalledShield Limited Edition. Visual Studio 2015 says the setup project is not compatible. I reinstalled InstallShield which didn't didn't help. I don't see anything on Flexera's site about InstallShield which works in VS 2015. Are there plans for one or does Microsoft now want us to use something else for installation projects?
While you could theoretically register the extension manually, as in our initial testing that's the minimum required to get ISLE 2013 up and running, we have now released ISLE 2015, so you should update. This release includes support for Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, .NET 4.6 (including a fix for the 1001 error from installing .NET 4.6), and other enhancements and bug fixes since the 2013 release.
I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.
Does the ultimate version of the Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 contains windows phone SDK and with Expression Blend 4?
I cannot find info about that even on Microsoft site.
Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend 4 are companion applications, sharing the same SLN and .csproj, vbproj files. Visual Studio 2012 also has a companion version of Blend (Blend for MS Visual Studio 2012).
None of the above IDEs are ready for Phone development. You need to install the SDK before they can create phone projects. During the install process, the SDK adds the appropriate templates to your computer.
If you have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate it has a placeholder for phone projects. See the screenshot below.
The new version of Blend(Blend for MS Visual Studio 2012) doesn't support phone projects at all.
There is an Beta version of Blend available, with more project types, and the release version is coming soon. See this post for more details.
The ultimate version of Visual Studio 2012 contains Blend for Visual Studio 2012 (effectively "Blend 5"). Not sure why you'd need Blend 4 at that point.
Is there a way to change .NET framework version of Visual Studio 2005 to 3.5?
No. Visual Studio 2005 only supports .NET 2.0 out-of-the-box. It can be updated to support .NET 3.0.
It is possible to compile .NET 3.5 code with a Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition, or without Visual Studio 2008 using Mono and I think the Windows/.NET SDK. However these will obviously not be integrated into Visual Studio 2005.
Visual Studio 2005 only supports .NET 2.0. The format of the solution file (.sln) changed in Visual Studio 2008 to allow you to select the target .NET version.
VS2008/2010 have a visual way of setting the project setting "TargetFrameworkVersion" which makes it easier, however I have found that adding the same tag to a VS2005 project will change the target framework. You might try adding 1(one) of the following into the section of your VS C# project.
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
