Here is the scenario: My dev environment is a Windows 2003 virtual server, MOSS2007, VS 2008, SQL2005, .net Framework 3.5, Ajax 2.0.
We're in the process of upgrading user workstations to Win 7. So I decided to install VS 2010 alongside VS2008.
When I tried to open an existing VS2008 project that has custom web parts for the MOSS, it went through the upgrade wizard but at the end it failed but I did not note what the error was. Instead, I decided to recreate the project but when adding a new sharepoint webpart to my solution I received an error stating that SharePoint must be forst installed on the server. Well lah-di-dah, it is installed!!! So now what?
Ended up uninstalling VS2010, but that is not the point. Does VS2010 requires SharePoint 2010 to work, really? Can anyone elaborate on this. Thanks.

You tried to open up a Sharepoint solution on your new Windows 7 workstation? I doubt you've got Sharepoint installed on that workstation, so the error message might be correct when it's saying Sharepoint isn't installed.
But, you can use VS2010 to do some Sharepoint 2007 development, as written here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointdevelopment/thread/bbced82a-a0e2-4a50-836a-3deb96c02de8
You still might want to have WSPBuilder installed though, even though VS2010 works pretty slick out of the box.
I've reinstalled both versions of VS and that soleved the problem. (not the most efficient method, however).

Symptoms
Visual Studio syntax highlighter and Intellisense for Javascript and Razor views are not working.
There is no Web templates installed when creating a new project.
When I try to uninstall the web developer feature:
Add or remove Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 > Modify
Microsoft Web Developer Tools is always checked. Even when I uncheck it and uninstall it, then restart the computer; the next time I still see it's checked:
What I did to solve this:
Running devenv.exe \resetuserdata Command to reset the user data.
Running devenv.exe \installtemplates to install the templates.
Repairing the Visual Studio.
Trying to uninstall and re-install the Web Developer Tools feature through the Visual Studio installer.
None have worked so far.
What I guess
I think Visual Studio thinks this feature is installed (through some registry keys probably) but the files are actually not installed.
Because whenever I try to Modify the installation of Visual Studio, the Microsof Web Developer Tools check box is not checked for the first second, then it is checked again after 1 second.
Question
Any suggestion on fixing this without uninstalling Visual Studio itself?
I was having the same problem and this is what worked for me:
Uninstall ASP.NET Web Tools from Control Panel
Download and install "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools" extension from: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c94a02e9-f2e9-4bad-a952-a63a967e3935
Try this (in order):
Find Microsoft ASP.NET 5 RC1 ... in control panel / programs &
select modify
Select repair
Run devenv.exe /installvstemplates as administrator
Run VS as administrator
I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2015. I tried several things, but simply updating Microsoft ASP.NET seemed to do the trick.
Install ASP.NET 5 RC1, restart, and the issue should be resolved.
I didn't know I had this problem until I opened an MVC project with Razor views and didn't have syntax highlighter and Intellisense. I was lucky to read your question because the symptoms are the same and so is the conclusion. And unfortunately none of the answers solves the problem. But it did help me to find the answer, or what worked for me.
What did the trick was installing .NET Core 1.0.0 (DotNetCore.1.0.0.RC2-Runtime-x64 and DotNetCore.1.0.0.RC2-VS2015Tools.Preview1). I am pretty sure that this is enough to solve the issue. But since I tried all kinds of things, it is possible that another action is required. In that case, continue reading below the images.
When I start a new project this opens the following dialog:
Selecting ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) opens the dialog with the projects I was looking for.
The syntax highlighter and Intellisense are also working for Razor views.
I do not know what caused the problem in the first place. Is the installation incomplete, is there a conflict with other software or did I do something that caused this?
Visual Studio 2012 is installed on my machine as well. I installed and uninstalled VS2015 (pro and community version) and then installed vs2015 Community on multiple volumes. On uninstalling I did use /Force and removed several folders manually.
Microsoft ASP.NET 5 RC Update 1 is also installed, but repairing this did not solve the issue. Also installing Asp.Net Web Framework tools 2015 didn't change anything. I copied templates to all template folders I could find (perhaps an issue with installing on multiple volumes?), ran devenv.exe with different parameters and deleted the '14' folder in my profile. None of this worked. Finally I installed .NET Core 1.0.0.
I've just been given a new work laptop and have an MSDN subscription. My old laptop had VS 2008, 2010 and 2012. I'd rather not install all of these again if I can avoid it. My main question here is whether there any reason to install VS 2012 if I have access to VS 2013? I believe Projects & Solutions are compatible, what other reasons might there be for installing VS 2012 (and for that matter VS 2010) again? If I have an MVC 3 app created with VS2010, will it be possible to open and work with that in VS2013 without having to "upgrade" the project type?
It really depends on what kind of projects you are working on. Each new releases of VS in fact remove certain features.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh266747.aspx
ASP.NET MVC 3 is not supported by VS2013.
Lex' answer is pretty good. I'd also like to add that if you are using C++/CLI, upgrading to Visual Studio 2013 will force you to target .NET 4.5, which might not at all be desirable if your users only have .NET 4.0 etc.
You can still target the older frameworks, by letting VS2013 use the older "Platform Toolset" from e.g. VS2010 or VS2012, but this will force you to have either one of these installed. I am using this exact scenario (VS2010 + VS2013) and it works quite well. (I have only VS2010 and 2013, not 2012 in that specific virtual machine.)
Update: Here is a MSDN page which backs up my statement about C++/CLI, just for the reference.
According to Microsoft the side-by-side installation of Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 is supported (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246609.aspx).
I already had VS 2010 installed on my system (Windows 7 box) along with the Windows Azure Tools 1.5. I used this configuration to create a cloud project that is hosted on Azure. A few days ago I decided to also put VS 2012 on my system but to do it in a side-by-side manner rather than upgrading (or uninstalling) the VS 2010. The reason why I did not want to uninstall VS 2010 was that I already had some add-ons configured for it for script and css minification and aggregation. I heard that VS 2012 has this functionality built-in but I did not want to touch the dozens of scripts that I had already created using the older method. So I wanted to keep my VS 2010 environment in a pristine, working state in case there was an emergency and I had to publish a patch for my already hosted application. I would use VS 2012 for all the new projects going forward.
However, after I put VS 2012 on my box it also brought down 1.8 version of Azure SDK. As a result, I can no longer successfully build my VS 2010 solution. I have one worker role and one web role in that solution. If I build each one of them individually the builds succeed. But if I then try to build the entire solution or package it, it fails with no message in the log whatsoever. It just shows "Build Failed" in the VS status bar.
Since I was not getting any error in the status bar, I decided to create a "Hello World" application from scratch with only one web role using Windows Azure Cloud project template in VS 2010 hoping to get a better error message. Indeed, when I try to build the entire solution I get an error:
Error 102 WAT080 : Failed to locate the Windows Azure SDK. Please make sure the Windows Azure SDK v1.5 is installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.5\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets
Clearly the installation of VS 2012 and Azure SDK 1.8 corrupted the older version. Ideally I would like to keep VS 2010 + Azure SDK 1.5 truly side-by-side with VS 2012 + Azure SDK 1.8. Is there a way to do this? If not, then how can I fix the error above? In other words, how can I fix VS 2010 to work with Azure SDK 1.8?
All you help is greatly appreciated.

Archil
I solved this by going to Microsoft site and installing Windows Azure SDK for .NET - October 2012 (1.8).

Initially I was a bit afraid and people were saying that it would not work and they encouraged to do a manual one-by-one install. However, I decided to use the Web Platform Installed link from the above page:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=254269
All in all, things went smoothly.
I'm trying to deploy a Nintex Sharepoint workflow from Visual Studio 2010, on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, running Sharepoint 2010, and I keep getting this error:
Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is not installed on this system. It is required to perform this operation.
Any ideas what the problem might be or how to fix?
I kind of stumbled across the answer. I found a couple people who addressed similar issues by disabling .NET Framework 3.5.1 in Windows Features.
I turned the feature off, rebooted and it works. No more error.
I think that as the error states, you need to install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 on you machine. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22
I had Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 installed on my machine , unfartunately i have to install VS.NET 2003 on it to work on an old project. However after the installation now my VS2008 projects are not compiling as they are unable to resolve the .NET core namespaces. I trying reinstalling .NET 3.5 and VS2008 but it still giving me the same errors while building the solution.
anybody had such experience and any tip to solve it?
strangelly VS 2005 is working fine and it means its working fine with .NET 2.0 deployments however its causing issue with ASP.NET MVC project in VS 2008 which is certainly using .NET 3.5 and yes i have given a try to reinstallation as well
rifferte is correct in that it's safest to install in the other they are released.
Probably the best thing to do at this point is to repair your Visual Studio 2008 installation. You can do this through the Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs menu. This should fix the issues you are seeing.
I think you should try the advice here:
http://channa.gunawardena.org/2008/12/installing-visual-studio-2003-after.html
Basically - you actually have to reinstall the framework outside of VS. That being said - the best advice is to always install VS editions in the order they were released.
