I created a SilverLight solution in Visual Web Developer Express 2010. Now, my system got installed with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. On opening the existing express solution, I got the below error:
Unable to open project. An update to Microsoft Visual Studio is required to support the targeted version of SilverLight. Download the update at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=168436
It takes to install the add-on Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010. My question is 'Why itz not part and parcel of professional edition?'
If I recall correctly, the silverlight tools for VS2010 were released very shortly after VS2010 went RTM. Silverlight is a separate technology that isn't dependent on Visual Studio. It's developed by a different group and they have separate release schedules.

I recently got a copy of Microsoft Test Professional 2013, where previously I used Visual Studio 2012. I'm unable to run any projects within Visual Studio 2013 - Shell Integrated, which comes with Test Professional 2013.
The development team have upgraded to Visual Studio 2013 with no issues and we have tried changing the project versions.
I have checked that I have the correct .net framework and mvc installed.
Should I be able to open the projects and if so what might be going wrong?
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.
Hello,
My operating system is Windows 7 - SP1 (64bit). I tried to create a Silverlight project in Visual Basic 2010 (Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - SP1). Complete Install expect SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x64). But I got this message,
So I went to that link shown above (here it is) and downloaded the Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 and tried to install it and this is the message I get,
The link in the above message leads here. What needs to be done here to create a Silverlight project in Visual Basic 2010?
Thanks for Vinicius for the help in above comments.
This is what I did. I went to Programs and Features in Control Panel and uninstalled everything with the term "Visual Studio 2010". Then installed Visual Studio 2010 again. That's it. It worked. It created the Silverlight project with Silverlight 3. I also installed Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 after that and it created the project.
I just installed VS 2010 Professional Edition, then the Service Pack 1. So now I wanted to install the 7.1 RC for WP7. The first thing it tries to do is download VS 2010 Express. Is this normal? Do I really have to install 2 versions of VS to develop for WP7?
If you already have a valid and applicable edition of Visual Studio 2010 installed, then the installer installs the SDK, Expression Blend, emulator, etc. and adds the necessary project templates into your existing edition. It will not install Visual Studio 2010 Express if you have already have an existing edition, so there are no issues around multiple installs of Visual Studio.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium at my work computer. I'm evaluating the installation of the VS2010 SP1 Beta to adjust many little problems that I've noted in using VS2010.
But I don't know if the SP1 Beta is rollbackable or if If'll have to reinstall all the VS2010 when the final SP1 will arrive to us.
Could anyone advise me about the opportunity to do this?
thanks a lot

From Scott Hanselman's blog:
•If you install VS2010 SP1 beta, don't
uninstall it if you can avoid it.
Rather, wait for SP1 final which will
upgrade your beta cleanly and leave
you in the best state.
This is a copy from the readme file at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=207141 :
2.2. Uninstalling
2.2.1. On computers that have earlier versions of Visual Studio
2.2.1.1. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta removes features in
Visual Studio Tools for Office and
Visual Studio Tools for SharePoint
Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Beta removes the Visual Studio Tools
for Office (VSTO) Design Time and some
features of Visual Studio Tools for
SharePoint. The Office and Sharepoint
features in Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Beta are major upgrades and have
different product guids than those in
the Visual Studio 2010 original
release. Therefore, when SP1 Beta is
removed, the features are removed, and
the Visual Studio 2010
original-release versions must be
reinstalled.
To resolve this issue:
In Windows Control Panel, click
Uninstall a program. In the list of
programs, right-click Microsoft Visual
Studio 2010 and then click
Uninstall/Change. In the Maintenance
Mode dialog box, click Next and then
click Add or Remove Features. Select
the following features. Microsoft
Office Developer Tools (x86) or (x64)
for Office development. Microsoft
SharePoint Developer Tools for
SharePoint development. Click Update.
2.2.1.2. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta may not donwload all
required packages
When Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta is
uninstalled by using Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel, a
prompt for source may be displayed.
To avoid this, run setup.exe from the
original location, and uninstall by
using Setup Maintenence Mode.
To resolve this issue:
Navigate to the original installation
location for Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Beta . Run setup.exe. Select Remove.
Update
Regarding your comment below, yes, I installed VS 2010 SP1 Beta, here are the problems I got:
I couldn't install Visual Studio SDK - Fixed - I found there was newer version for VS2010SP1Beta that I didn't realize at first.
I could not install Phone Developer SDK - Fixed as unrelated - I contacted #ScottGU and they said this is test scenario, I downloaded again and it worked as a charm
Few issues about Resharper or so (can't remember exactly, but minor for sure) - Fixed - I just got a recent build of Resharper.
If this leads to the question "Should I install it?", I'd say, if you need any of the new features in it (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg442059.aspx for listing), then just install it. It's OK. If not, wait for RTM.
BTW,
If you want to discuss your specific SP1 issues instead of uninstall, no problem in that as well :)
