My Computer Program
My computer have two visual studio like picture below:
Can I uninstall one of its? Because my disk is almost full. Please help me, I am very confused about this. Thanks so much
Since I don't use Visual Studio, it is hard to know. But judging from the space it uses up. I would say yes. Remove the "Visual Studio Ultimate (2013). Leave the Update 5 intact.
If it doesn't work then just reinstall it. It won't affect your existing projects etc.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional however it seems as though I cannot open/create Office Projects.
I assumed there must have been something wrong with my install and a feature wasn't added. However whenever I go into my Maintenance Mode for my VS2010 nothing about Office appears. And it does say Professional, which I believe comes with office tools.
I do have Office 2010 also installed.
I've looked around and everywhere says that I can just add that feature, but I only get a number of features in my install; VB, C++. C# (plus X64 Compilers and Tools), Visual Web Developer and Graphics Library, all of which are tickets.
Any tips?
p.s. I do also have SP1
For anyone else that may encounter this problem, you may need to reinstall SP1 as well as Visual Studio. This is what did it for me.
VSTO is what you're looking for.
Try one of the walkthrough articles to get started.
I've tried to search my question but I didn't find any question answered.
So, here is my problem:
I've installed the Visual Studio 11 Beta once, and it works perfectly. Then I uninstalled the Visual Studio 2010.
I don't remember why, but I had to reinstall VS11. After uninstalling it and installing again, I couldn't find the devenv.exe executable.
So I've tried to run Microsoft Blend, and then, create a project, but I couldn't, because there was no templates available, neither a language to create the project.
When I try to search for Visual Studio in the start menu, I can't find it.
My English is not good, if you can understand, congratulations :D
at this moment you should not longer install VS11.
you should download VS2012 as it is required to develop for win8 RP
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional (final version), with some components, plug-ins and templates I use a lot. Recently, I been checking all the things that the Ultimate version has, and I've been wondering,
Can I just run the VS2010 ultimate installer and it upgrade the Sku, letting me use all of its features along with the previous plug-ins (like telerik rad controls, Deklarit for VS2010, and VS.php)??
Thanks in advance
Just for records, looks like everything worked pretty well.... And the answer to my own question is: Yes, you can Upgrade the Sku of Visual Studio 2010
Just to confirm that the upgrade path worked for me:
I simply ran the setup program for Ultimate without uninstalling Professional. It installed in less than an hour taking with it all of my settings, plugins and extentions & resharper came across also :)
Very Impressed ! :)
Yes, it works, I also upgraded Professional to Ultimate. Have to mention, that while updating I was not able to change the path for additional components. But ugrade works.
Does Visual Studio 2010 RC play nicely with Visual Studio 2008?
I am wondering if I need to setup a Virtual Machine to play with VS 2010 or if I can just install it on my Dev machine.
If it messes up VS 2010 then that is sad but ok. If it messed up VS 2008 then I would be in trouble.
Has anyone tried this out? Does it work well? Poorly?
Thanks for any answers.
I've had no problems. Microsoft has designed the last several versions of Visual Studio to be able to co-exist side-by-side.
That said, VS 2010 is an RC, so it is still a pre-release. And even after it goes RTM, it's still a complex product and like any complex software install there can be bugs. I wouldn't expect serious problems, but there's always the fraction of a percent that do run into issues. So I'd still plan to install it on a day when you'd have cycles to deal with potential issues (if nothing else, installing it on my machine that hadn't had OS updates installed in a while required at least 2 reboots).
Yes this works and is a supported scenario. My advice is to install 2008 first then 2010. This is the setup i have on multiple computers.
has worked for me without any issues so far. I would follow JaredPar's advice though, install 2008 first, then 2010.
I never trust the "plays nice with others" claims because I've been bit by it before. They supposedly co-exist, but I still put it in a VM.
See this blog post.
Visual Studio 2010 / .NET Framework 4 RC Ready for General Download
I haven't installed it on my machine but my manager has and after we looked at it we decided it's best not to go there yet for two reasons:
1) We have to go through the whole conversion process again, which after our experience with 1.1 -> 2.0 wasn't very enticing.
2) We caused an error within the first couple minutes of playing around that worked fine on VS2008 leading us to believe it's not quite ready for primetime yet anyways. (It was adding a method in the class diagram that caused VS to crash for some reason).
Just my two cents though.
edit: I just found another great example, fifth one down: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Tell-a-programmer.aspx
I've had no problems either. And I didn't with VS2010 beta 2 and VS2008 either.
I have both of them on my machine, so far no problems
I havent go into too much testing with my VS 2008 projects in 2010, but it does look like it works fine with VS 2010 RC.
Also, both versions seem to run fine on my machine. (I have also VS 2003 on my local as well)
Bearing in mind its the Release Candidate version, is should be very reliable in this area.
I've run into an error with IIS and VS2010 -- it's solved by re-running the .NET 3.5 version of aspnet_regiis.

I installed 2010 with 2008 already installed. I had tons of hangs, crashes and general malfunctions. Reinstalling 2008 didn't help until I removed every trace of 2010 from registry.
I've installed 2010 with 2008 on this machine for silverlight development.. I haven't noticed any problems except for file associations all goto the 2010 version rather than what I'd prefer opened in 2008 by default. (2010 to me is much slower than 2008)
