Installing via WebPlatformInstaller cannot be done, where can i find good-old setup.exe?
What you can do is go to a machine that is connected to the internet but hasn't had the Web Platform Installer or Web Matrix installed.
Browse to the WebMatrix website and click the "Install WebMatrix" button:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/
On the next page click "Install Now".
The WebMatrix installer is dependent on the WebPI3.0 installer so that will install and you'll see a dialogue like this:
Click the "Items to be installed" link at the bottom left of the dialogue. This will open a window listing all of the components that need to be installed with links to their sources:
So you can grab these individually. You may need to install the full .NET Framework 4.0 redistributable as well if you haven't already got that.
One thing you will find is that if you want to create sites from pre-packaged Gallery Applications will need an internet connection. There isn't a way around that because it grabs the gallery product feed to display these applications every time you restart WebMatrix.

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 for C++ desktop development. My company writes libraries for other developers, and because some customers are understandably loathe to upgrade once they settle on a development platform, we need to support developers at various update (née "service pack") levels.
It seems that Microsoft is (equally understandably) pushing everyone to get all the service packs when they get any, since when I ask to download Update 1 here, it pushes me to Update 3, which includes Updates 1 & 2.
I have now archived Update 3 (using the /layout flag on the installer), but I don't see a way to get just Update 1 or Update 2, and yet that is exactly what I need. How can I get these updates?
Answer from Microsoft:
There is no longer update 1 and 2 from official site, I cannot provide
a link for you either. Actually I would recommend your customer update
their VS to avoid possible development problems. There are logs of
fixes for VS on Update 3.

I use TFS at work which I am quite famililar with, I need a simple version of something similar that integrates into VS for my home hobby projects.
The only things I really need is :
Task lists, with detail pages where I can record info about how I might implement the task / test it.
Categorisation, prioritisation.
SVN / VS support so I can commit to SVN at the same time referencing the task.
I have tried using notepad and the tasks in VS but thats just too mimimal. And other solutions that cater for full agile/scrum are OTT.
Thanks.
Microsoft now provide "Visual Studio Team Services" (it was first released under the name "Team Foundation Service" and later renamed to "Visual Studio Online" and then renamed again recently). It provides most (perhaps all) of the facilities of TFS but in the cloud; actually in Azure which is Microsoft's own cloud. The system is free for up to five users.

You could try Trac and put all your tasks in those Trac tickets. The SVN cross-linking is excellent. First, have a look at the Trac playground to test it. If it makes you happy, there is a good Windows bundle called Bitnami Trac including all necessary tools, and it's for free and easy to install. Also check out the Trac homepage.

Does anyone know an easy to use application that creates exe setup installation package for any windows program? InstallJammer looks a good candidate but its development is discontinued and it does not create a desktop icon although I configured it to do so (probably a bug - googling did not help much). Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.
All a question of how complicated you want to get. If you just need something quick to install a handful of files, I would recommend NSIS. If you need something with a bit more power and flexibility I'd go with WiX, which emits Windows Installer MSI packages.
Both of these a script\text based, so you can see what you are doing, and don't have any license fees.
I second the recommendation for NSIS. It will do everything you need, works with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Is compatible with 64-bit and handles user privileges and short-cuts.
It is all I use for all of my installers and patches and some of them are quite complex, it is also free and open-source.
Download the main framework at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download and then I would also recommend using the HM-NSIS editor for writing your scripts http://hmne.sourceforge.net/

Like this done in
http://directory.fsf.org/
http://www.ohloh.net/
so anyone in our company (include bosses) can look:
what projects exist (good to have web search capability)
who is primary mainteners, responsible employees
provide CHANGES, latest version
point to BTS (Trac/Mantis), VCS (SVN/Git/HG), Wiki, Mail list, NNTP, Night build, CI build, etc...
may be provide some summary info based on activity on BTS/VCS (how many opened bugs, how often and who commit)
I don't need extra features as Wiki. and package must work with several existing sofware management/development tools, and does not restricted with Java/C#...
I look on WEB without happen as don't know gold "keywords". Search on StackExchange also don't show any result.
Some requested features available in enterprise application architecture for project hosting (like KForge, FusionForge, GForge) but thay too complex and dictate toolset for teams...
Seems that all existing software directory project built in house and their sources are not released for public.
Look for most complete list of software directories enabled site that I found. Only OpenSymphony provide sources of some components.
So complete lightweight solution does not exist currently.
I going to write own...

I use more than one machine for development in VS 2008. Is there a tool to automatically synchronize the snippets between the machines? Same concept of synchronizing browsers' bookmark.
If you have Vista and the LiveMesh client installed try this suggestion
Hope this helps.
The machines are in different locations, home and work so software like SyncToy won't work.
I don't know about SyncBack. It's not clear from their web site if it can be done over the web. I can't find the client software on MS's site for Live Mesh.
I will check ideas here:
http://lifehacker.com/372175/free-ways-to-synchronize-folders-between-computers
Try one of these:
1) http://www.getdropbox.com
2) https://www.foldershare.com/welcome.aspx
3) Microsoft Office Groove
I personally use SVN.
I tried foldershare and did all the setup and it's not syncing. Also when I chose On Demand type of synchronization instead of Automatic, I expected to see an option to trigger the synchronization manually and I couldn't find it. I didn't like the software.
Looked around and found syncplicity and it works fine.
Assuming you already know what files you need/want sync'd then some additional options to Mesh would be to tool-out. Maybe look at SyncToy or SyncBack to keeps these collection of files centralized - then have all your machines pull from the central data store.
There is also Live Sync (formery FolderShare) which works over the internet.
