I want to run Visual Studio 2010 with two commands:
devenv.exe /nosplash
devenv.exe /safemode
How can I run Visual Studio 2010 with both commands? Meaning, I need to run an instance where both commands are executed with them.
How do I do this with Visual studio 2010?
Run it as:
devenv.exe /nosplash /safemode
It seems to work OK when I run it.
Unless I'm missing something here, simply type...
devenv.exe /nosplash /safemode
...and all should be well. (Tested and works fine on my set up.)

We have both Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 installed on our machine. Often we want to run it with the devenv command. To be clear, we want to open Visual Studio. How do we pass the version number to run? The devenv command line documentation doesn't say how.
Whenever I try to create a new project in VS 2010 I get the error:
New project/item dialog could not be initialized due to error:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dialogs.DialogInitializationException' was thrown.
And when try to open existing project visual studio 2010 restarts.
I had the same problem on my computer. After a long time searching I solved it by the following steps:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE" (or whatever is your VS installation directory)
Run command devenv.exe /resetuserdata and wait until finished
Run Visual Studio
I can't find the former case. As you met an exception
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Dialogs.DialogInitializationException
I am suggesting you try the way below:
Run devenv /resetuserdata.
Delete the file:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
and restart Visual Studio.
Close all VS instances and try the solution mentioned here:
Launch Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 as Administrator
Go to VS 2017 installation folder, for example: pushd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise
gacutil -if Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll
Open your control panel
Change
Regional -> Formats tab -> Format: English(United States)

It works for me :)
This problem can cause when you install an older version of Visual Studio nearby the current version. For example VS 2017 is installed on your system and you do force install of VS 2008.
I faced this problem many years ago by installing VS 2008 after VS 2010;
and today again I had this problem. Because I installed SolidWorks 2015 after VS 2017. SolidWorks had a Visual Studio 2008 inside its package that interferes my installation.
Just uninstalled VS 2008 and I'm done.
I found this to still be an issue in Visual Studio Community 2017, Microsoft released a work around that fixed my problem:
The work-around for this issue would be:
-Launch “Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017” as Administrator
-Go to VS 2017 installation folder, for example: pushd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise
-gacutil -if Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll
Is there anywhere I can download the ProjectTemplates folder for Visual Studio 2008? I accidently deleted it and the cache folder so need to get a copy of it!
What about using installation repair?
Try running this from the Visual Studio Command Prompt. It should allow you to fix the problem without going through the installation repair process.
devenv /installvstemplates
Hi I am getting the operation cannot be completed error when i tried to open Visual studio 2010. Previous to that I was trying to install web platform and didnt install but that is all I did...anyone have suggestions...i tried restart my pc...
Try devenv /setup, devenv /resetsettings, or devenv /resetuserdata. Important: only try the last two as a last resort since they will reset your settings.
Assuming you're on a 32-bit OS, devenv is available from the command-line at \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE or from the VS command prompt.
I am writing a VS Integration Package and setup using Visual Studio Setup Package. I have a custom action that runs "devenv.exe /setup" when the package is installed.
If the user has VS 2005 and 2008 installed, do I need to run devenv.exe /setup from both directories? Like so:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup"
Or will running just one be sufficient? If so, which one should I run? (2008 I presume)
Yes, you need to run both. They are two independent environments.
It depends on which one you are installing to. VSIP packages install into a version of Visual Studio vs. a machine. So you should only have to run devenv /setup on the version of Visual Studio to which your package installs. Running devenv /setup on the version you did not install to will have no effect.
