Does anyone know if there is an SDK for the .Net 4.0 framework, and if there is one, where does the installer put it on the hard drive? I've installed the Ultimate Edition of Visual Studio 2010, but can't find the SDK anywhere.
The last stand-alone version of the .NET SDK was 2.0. It got integrated with the Windows SDK after that. You already have the important bits on your machine, it is stored in c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windodws\v7.0a
It is a truncated version (thus the "a"), the full version is a separate download. Beware that this download is 7.1. There have been a fair number of critical problems with the version 7.0 SDK installer btw. The install failed on my machine, leaving a partial install that didn't rewind. I had to patch registry entries by hand to recover. I recommend you install this on a non-critical machine and just copy the folder. I had no trouble with the SDK 7.1 installer.

These links point to the Version 7.1 of the SDK.

We have a TeamCity installation which we have just upgraded from 8.0.1 to 2017.1.1. Everything when very smooth and plainless.
However, we seem to have a problem with our agents, which SEEM to be slower now than before.
The current agents (all virtual on an inhouse VMWare ESXi 6 server) are running Windows 7 32-bit and has not been re-installed or undergone significant maintenance in more than 6 years. I was not the one to do the original installation, so I do not have the full history of the agents, although it is close.
In the beginning the access to the agents was somewhat of the wild west, and thus they are not as alike as I would like.
So, I am thinking of creating new agents and replace the old ones, but am having some questions regarding this.
We develop almost exclusively in .NET with a few licensed third-party products, so the setup of an agent should be relatively simple. We do have a few legacy .NET Compact Edition 3.5 builds, but otherwise it is more or less regular Visual Studio solutions ranging from .NET 3.5 to 4.6. Many solutions are Silverlight.
I am aware of the issue with the missing Microsoft.WebApplication.targets without Visual Studio installed, and have no problem with manually copying the files.
I am thinking about basing the agents on Windows 10 64-bit, but would it be better with 32-bit?
I intend to install the following packages, at least:
.NET Framework 3.5 (Optional Windows component on Windows 10).
.NET Framework 4.6 (Default Windows component on Windows 10).
Windows SDK 7.0
Windows SDK 7.1
Windows SDK 8.0
Windows SDK 8.1
Windows SDK 10.0 or 10.1.
Microsoft Build Tools 2013
Microsoft Build Tools 2015
Microsoft Build Tools 2017
Silverlight 5 SDK
Power Toys for .NET Compact Framework 3.5
The two Windows component should cover .NET 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 4.6. But will I need to install some or all of these separately?
How about 4.5.1 and 4.5.2?
How about 4.6.1 and 4.6.2?
Is there anything else, that I should be aware of?
Is it a good idea to use 64-bit agents?
Will there be issues on older target systems?
Any caveats I need to be aware of?
I hope someone will take the time to answer some or all of my questions.
Thank you.
I want to start developing App for Windows Phone.
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Express, Updating it to SP1. Install Windows Phone SDK 7.1. And when I want to create a new Project, here comes the error.
I have installed .NET Framework 3.5 to 4.5. Silverlight SDK 4.0. What am I missing here ?
I am using Windows 8 32 bit if it has any difference.
Microsoft made developing for windows-phone as complicated as possible. )
So, basically there are two solutions, that are guaranteed to work:
1) You can develop on Visual Studio 2010 for windows-phone-7 on Windows 7.
2)You can develop on Visual Studio 2012 for windows-phone-8 on Windows 8(64-bit).
The other variations are more like a 'dance with tambourine', in my humble opinion.
There are solutions, but they are all tricky.
What may work for you:
Check this question, maybe it helps.
The first answer has a link with instruction of how-to install a sdk for wp7 on windows 8. Try it. However, there's no mention about 32-it system, so it might also not work.
Right now, you've said, you've installed SDK 7.0. Try to to, as suggested in above-mentioned link and install Windows Phone SDK 7.1 and 7.1.1 update.
On windows 7 if i install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (ISO) is that enough to work with vs 2008 or should i install also 3.5 sdk ?
Quote from the Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 release notes:
.NET Framework: Create applications that target the .NET
Framework versions 2.0 (SP2) , 3.0
(SP2) , 3.5 (SP1), 4.
Visual Studio: Use the resources in this SDK with Visual Studio
versions 2005, 2008, and 2010,
including Express editions (not all
features work with all versions of
Visual Studio).
Thus yes, includes backwards compatibility into the lines described in the release notes.
When you install VS it will install the .NET framework it needs
I have Visual Studio 2005 and want to teach myself DirectX in my free time. I downloaded the latest Windows 7 and DirectX SDKs. According to Microsoft's website, the latest DirectX SDK is not compatible with Visual Studio 2005 (I assume they mean it's not compatible with the SDK it came with). Can I configure VS2005 to use the SDKs I downloaded instead of the SDK it came with? If so, is there anything I should be particularly careful with?
The June 2010 DirectX SDK no longer supports Visual Studio 2005. You need to download an older version of the SDK and you'll be fine.
I'd wager you can encourage June 2010 to run under 2005. You may need to modify your headers slightly to make them 2005 compatible but the DX DLLs don't care what they get dynamically linked to by ... Install the SDK set up the include and library paths to point at the DirectX sdk ... compile and see what errors you get.
I have a machine with Vsiual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 and Windows SDK version 6.1 (Windows Vista). I am planning to install the latest SDK (Windows 7 and .Net 3.5 Service Pack1), but the MSDN Comptabilty document (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd146047.aspx) indicates that the latest SDK is not recommended with VS 2005.
I would like to check if the two SDKs can coexist on the same machine or the latest SDK will oevrride the older version and could cause issues with VS 2005.
Thanks
Just a word of warning, the 7.0 SDK has a badly broken installer. It hacks registry keys that are used by Visual Studio to find SDK components and drops files in the VS install directory. This can render it unusable. The worst problems are documented as sticky posts in the Windows SDK forum at the MSDN forums.
I had problems as well, the installer failed half-way through on my machine with a completely undescriptive error. On a pretty virgin machine with VS2008. It didn't roll back the install even though it failed, I had to edit the registry by hand to fix the damage.
I recommend you actually install the SDK on a machine you don't care about. Then copy the directory to a production machine and edit the VC++ directories yourself. Do strongly favor the v7.1 version instead. Good luck with it.
Should be fine as long as you don't try and install both versions of Visual Studio in the same folder. The SDK is essentially passive, you can have as many of them as you want installed, but you need to make sure that the paths that VS 2005 uses are to the older SDK rather than the newer one.
Since by default, the SDK is installed in a subfolder of the Visual Studio install folder, a long as you put different versions of VS in different folders, everything should work out fine all by itself.
Yes they can. I have 6.1 and 7.0 on one machine (Windows 7 64 bit no VS 2005 though) without any noticeable issues.
Definitely you can . u can set the sdk version u want to use each time .
This links tells how to set up your sdk versions in different visual studio versions.
