Windows SDK Configuration Tool Can't See Visual Studio 2010 - windows

I've installed Visual Studio 2010 and the Windows SDK 7.0. I want Visual Studio 2010 to use Windows SDK 7.0 instead of Windows SDK 7.1 (or another SDK). So I ran the Windows SDK Configuration Tool and it shows 'select visual studio versions'. But it only has two options, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008, nothing about 2010..

Problems installing Visual Studio 2010 Professional on Windows 8.1

I have been trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Professional on my Windows 8.1 laptop and I am having problems. It seems to install and when I look at the applications list I see everything has installed except the Visual Studio 2010 (devenv.exe) application itself. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution for it? I have checked that .NET 2.0, 3.x and 4.x are all installed on the machine and active. The installer shows that it is installing the application but when it's completed the application is no where to be found.
I had the same thing happen to me, because I had SQL Server Data Tools installed, causing the shortcut to be named "sql server Data Tools". Try looking up the executable in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe and manually creating the shortcut on the start screen:
Be sure to install the updates as well:
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 GDR for Team Foundation Server
Visual Studio 2010 Compatibility Update for Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012

Visual studio issues after installing visual studio 2013

I have Windows 8 machine.
I had visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed on my computer.
I installed the visual studio 2013 preview, and the 8.1 WDK.
After I installed Visual Studio 2013, my old project in C++ wasn't able to be compiled (in Visual Studio 2012) so I uninstalled Visual Studio 2013 and the WDK.
But the issue remains, i cannot compile my C++ project. I get error message such as "Windows.h cannot be found" I looked at the include directory and saw that I have the following include: $(WindowsSDK_IncludePath). but when I open "Macros>>" I can't this macro "$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath)".
I tried to uninstall Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 and reinstall them but it didn't fix the issue.
Does anyone know what might cause this issue and how to resolve it?
In order to build windows 8 apps in visual studio 2013, you must be using windows 8.1. (defined here). This is possibly the issue.
You also wouldn't see the windows sdk include path because the wdk would be uninstalled. I would recommend one of two things
get visual studio 2012 again, and download the windows 8 sdk
get windows 8.1, then install visual studio 2013, and use the windows 8.1 sdk
I know, its quite silly.

Visual C++ 2010 compilers in Visual Studio 2012 express

Does the Visual Studio 2012 Express (Windows Desktop SKU) bundle the Visual C++ 2010 compilers (both 32-bit and 64-bit) as part of the project round-tripping feature or does this feature only work if Visual Studio 2010 is already installed separately?
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 Desktop does not support alternative platform toolsets.
if Visual Studio 2010 or Windows SDK 7.1 is already installed, you can launch the developer command prompt from those toolsets then launch the old compiler via msbuild.

You need to install Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone 8 development. I got Visual Studio 2012 Professional for free via DreamSpark (www.dreamspark.com) because I'm a student.

Is it Possible to Use Windows Phone 6 SDK with VS 2010 or VS 2012?

I need to convert my old Windows Phone 6 application from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012. Is it possible or not?
From the forums I came to know that Windows Phone 6 SDK is no longer supported in versions 2010 and above
windows mobile 6 standard sdk not detecting visual studio 2010 beta installed
Visual Studio 2010 Lacks Support for WM 6.x App Development
No, you must used visual studio 2008.
