I am working as a team member and use Visual Studio 2010. The Source control which we all use is TFS.
Can I install some themes of VS while others don't install them?
Thanks
There's an excellent extension available at http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/20cd93a2-c435-4d00-a797-499f16402378/
The selected theme applies to your system only. All extensions you install, will not appear on other systems.
These extensions are not part of your projects/code and will never be checked in into TFS.

I would like to work on a project in TypeScript using Visual Studio. I'm working on the project for personal reasons, so I am planning on using the free Visual Studio Community flavor. However, as I went through the installation options, there weren't any options to install TypeScript support.
Here is the list of language support options that I saw as I went through the installation:
VS is a >10GB install, so I would like to make sure I can use it for my projects before I finish installing it.
If I install Visual Studio Community 2015, will I be able to work on TypeScript projects? If so, are there any specific options I need to be sure to select during installation or any post-installation steps I need to follow?
Yes, TypeScript is supported in Community. It is not displayed in that list of components because it is included by default. You do not need to install third party extensions for it to work with VS 2015.
You can but you have to install a 3rd party extension for it https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3e5ba71c-abea-4d00-b81b-a62de3ad3d53
This is still in beta so not sure how functional it will be.
On a clean install of community (after uninstalling a trial of 2015 Professional) I got the following when trying to go to the 'Typescript build' tab.
In additional nothing was highlighting in any TS files.
An error occurred trying to load the page. d4683cae-88c4-4b85-863d-ac8014f3ba36
So I just closed Visual Studio, went to the Typescript install page and installed the latest version. That fixed everything. The typescript install for VS2015 on this page includes any extensions needed.
For future updates open the Extensions and Updates control panel and look for Typescript for Microsoft Visual Studio.
I am looking to use TypeScript within Visual Studio 2013. For some reason, however, I cannot create a project. Instead, Visual Studio only allows me to be directed to a web page which tells me to install a plugin.
After I've installed the plugin, as well as rebooting my computer a few times; still no dice.
Uninstall all typescript items from Programs and Features in your control panel. Then reinstall this plugin : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34790
Make sure visual studio is closed throughout uninstall/install process. After the install start visual studio.
I need to create a setup for installing my project. I meant to try both WIX both native visual studio installer, but i don't know how, when i go to new project there isn't such option. I figured out that WIX don't add templates on 2010, but why there isn't one for visual studio installer?
I would also like to know if there are any other simple installers worth trouble?
Visual Studio 2010 was the last version to support Visual Studio Installer (.vdproj) projects. Many teams use WiX Toolset instead. [UPDATE: There is now a VS extension that provides Visual Studio Installer support to later versions.]
WiX Toolset is a Visual Studio extension. Express versions don't allow extensions so that might be a reason you don't see templates. Another reason is that for the WiX installer to register templates, Visual Studio 2010 must be installed first. You can try repairing the WiX installation.
Another IDE for WiX is SharpDevelop. (It's free.)
Both Visual Studio Installer and WiX Toolset create Windows Installer packages. It's important to understand what Windows Installer does. If you are trying them to compare them, you might be interested in this related question.
NSIS is another technology entirely. It gives complete control over what's put the target system, including whether to have an uninstaller at all. Many projects use it as a bundler for Windows Installer packages. (But, note that WiX now has a bundler [called burn].)
I installed MSVC++ 2010 Express and trying to figure which extensions (vsix) are available to install. There are some extensions in the Extension Manager (section Online Gallery). All of them from Visual Studio Gallery. To be sure I installed some extension. It, therefore, cannot be said that the express editions of Visual Studio do not support installing Extensions or Add-Ins. At first I decided that Visual Studio Gallery is the place for allowed extensions. I downloaded from there PowerConsole extension and tried to install it. However, I got message box with following text:
Visual Studio Extension Installer
This extension is not installable on any currently installed products.
The question is, What are exact limitations for installing extensions in Visual Studio 2010 Express?
Take a look at this article.
In summary from above article:
The Express SKUs only support installation of extensions that are classified as Templates (or Template Wizards) and Controls.
The Express SKUs do not support tool extensions. Which is anything that doesn't fall into one of the other
categories (Template or Control).
VSIX files are marked, via the manifest, as to which applications they are compatible and can be installed.
I have a website project that has been subversioned already. I have installed ankhsvn but when I open the website project in Visual Studio 2010 it doesn't show the version control icons in the Solution Explorer. Any idea why that might be?
Thanks
Did you enable AnkhSVN in Tools->Options->Source Control?
When it is the default SCC provider it should automatically detect that your (C# ?) website project is already in Subversion.
If you are using Express Versions of Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012, note that AnkhSVN does not work with Express versions. In my case (VS 2012) the solution above does not work because AnkhSVN is not available in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plugin Selection. Express versions do not allow Addin.

This is an old question, but after installing Ankh I had to run
"d:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
to get Ankh to show up in the source control plugin selection list. This seems to happen intermittently with new plugins.
I had a similar problem and got it fixed when I uninstalled and reinstalled AnkhSVN. Doing a repair wasn't enough.
I had the same problem. The only solution for me was to remove Registry keys explained in Visual Studio 2012 Extension Issues.
