I'm attempting to run VS Ultimate 2013 in elevated privileges so that I can use IIS8 to host and debug web projects. When I follow the steps in Can you force Visual Studio to always run as an Administrator in Windows 8? I still get the same error and can not start VS. I've also tried checking the "Run As Administrator" checkbox in the compatibility tab of the actual VS executable...
The error I'm getting is the same as in this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2009/10/29/how-to-fix-the-application-cannot-start-error.aspx
I've installed visual studio 2013 and updated to 4 release, but when I connect to the internet and then try to open visual studio, the pop up menu open but visual studio does not run.
Have you installed "Microsoft Azure HDInsight Tools for Visual Studio"? If so, try uninstalling it.
The below thread saved me a lot of frustration (even though it says VS 2012, I had the same for VS2013 Update 4).
Visual Studio 2012 is unresponsive at start with hidden error messages (two dings at start)
You could also try running a repair on the install.
Or resetting the settings http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241273.aspx
Or running in safe mode, maybe a plug-in is fouling it up http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
I have created an installer in visual studio following normal procedure. I run my application. Task manager is showing it. I keep it open/running, and go to uninstall the application. But, windows (in which visual studio is not installed) does not show fileinuse dialog. I have checked the problem in a fresh windows 7 machine in which visual studio is not installed. Does any extra package is installed during visual studio installation which helps showing the fileinuse dialog?
Mine is a Windows 8 machine. I installed Visual Studio 2012, then went to Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Later I was told to install Visual Studio 2010.
The first two installs worked great. Got all the neat icons and everything is good. MSVS2010 SP1 got installed successfully.
Now the third install of Visual Studio 2010 is where I am stuck.
I am downloading it from a Microsoft licensed CD. No errors during installation, but it is only installing Microsoft Visual Studio command prompt, X64 Win64 command prompt and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 documentation. Nothing else. So basically I dunno where to start to fire up the program.
So I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7 to find the devenv.exe. Couldn't find in either of the locations.
Then went to Run and typed devenv.exe, boom VS2010 opens. So I did a Apps search on Windows 8. When I type devenv.exe the only thing I could find there is SQL Server data tools which has a VS2010 icon. Double click this and VS 2010 opens. So my guess is SQL server 2012 needs VS2010 and installed it.
Questions:
Where is devenv.exe?
Why isn't it installing the rest of the stuff?
How do I start VS2010?
I don't think double clicking on sql server data tools is the correct way. I want VS2010 to appear in my Apps just like any other application. This could be a rather silly question. I did a lot of research and am kinda confused with all these parameters.
In Windows 8, if you search for "Visual Studio" in "Start" screen you won't find VS 2010. Instead search for "devenv", it appears.
Searching for "SQL server data tools" also will work.
In 64bit machines, you can find 2010 in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
Create a Desktop short cut.
Uninstalling and re installing Visual Studios is not required for the Visual Studio 2010 icon to show up on Windows 8.The Visual Studio 2010 icon is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv. You can add this icon to your task bar or windows desktop and launch Visual Studio 2010. There are two devenv icons in that folder location just select latest one you can find that out by looking at the file properties. The folder path I mentioned above will be different for 64 bit windows machines.
For some reason Visual Studio 2010 did not completely load for me, although it said it did. So I went into its folder and selected the setup.exe to run maintenance mode. There I re-installed it. It asked me (this time) to restart my laptop. I did that. Then I was prompted to update it using the service pack 1 update, via the given link. Then it was ok.
There are two ways to view:
In Win8 or Win8.1 search for "devenv.exe" name it appear and create shortcut in desktop.
Go to this address on your computer:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
and create a shortcut for this file on your desktop.
You have two options here
in windows 8.0 or 8.1 go to run and type'devenv' and then the Visual studio opens up for you.
Else search using the app name and select 'Microsoft Visual studio' from the list of apps installed, right click on the app and select the option 'pin to the start' or 'pin to the task bar'. This creates short cut with the icon of the app handy.
I am running Visual Studio 2005 with the Vista-compatible SP1 installed on Windows 7 64 bit. I get this error (see screenshot) every time I start Visual Studio, even when I use the "Run as Administrator" menu option and/or set the shortcut options to always run as administrator. How do I fix this?
Run as administrator is fine but, have you tried un-checking the "Always show this message" option? I guess you haven't try that
