I had an issue installing Visual Studio 2010 RC on Windows XP SP3?
(Have installed same ISO package on Vista and worked fine...)
Setup would fail no matter what I tried:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC Setup
A problem has been encountered while
loading the setup components.
Canceling setup.
I found a solution by "Mikael Söderström" on MSDN Forums:
Display the language bar at the
taskbar, right-click on it and choose
settings. Then you remove the hand
writing support from the list.

I was installing VS2010 on a windows 7 machine inside a "Windows XP Mode" instance and it was failing.
The reason being the install files were not on the Windows XP instance.
Copying the setup files to within the XP instance fixed the issue.

My windows version is Win 10 1803. I installed Visual studio professional 2017, and along with that I installed SDK 10.0.17134.1 and WDK 10.0.17134.1. I restarted the system, and the visual code, yet the option of creating a Windows driver project under Visual C++ is not showing.
Methods tried:
Re-installation of WDK,
Rebooting the system,
Using same version of WDK and SDK as mentioned in Microsoft site.
This solution worked.

Since the extension that works with Visual studio does not pop-up on its own, manually executing through cmd solves the purpose.
Last night, I downloaded Unity to start developing games with my brother. The installer also gave me Visual Studio 2015 and MonoDevelop, which I gather is basically a slightly modified Visual Studio.
This morning I discovered the problem: MonoDevelop will open, but Visual Studio won't. It always came up with a pop-up box saying "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer."
According to this other StackOverflow question, I need to download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. But before doing that, I decided to check if I already had it, just in case.
I opened "Programs and Features" and beheld that I already had nine other Visual C++ Redistributables installed on my machine. This image shows the list.
Included are the 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2015 redistributables for both x86 and x64. I don't know if this is typical or not but it certainly seems excessive.
Despite all these, my Visual Studio still won't open. Do I need to install another one? I'm happy to do that if I need to; I just want to start coding.
(I also had this same problem with Microsoft Office 365 before I just gave up and downloaded Microsoft Office 2013 instead, which works fine. Perhaps it's a problem with my machine? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, for what it's worth.)
You also need to install the Universal C Runtime
The Windows Update package on this page allows Windows desktop
applications that depend on the Windows 10 Universal CRT release to
run on Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1
S14.
Extract the WindowsUCRT.zip and install the Windows6.1-KB3118401-x64.msu (note if you get a hang at "Searching for updates on this computer", cancel the install, stop the WU service and try again to install the update).
When I try to install the Windows Phone Template Pack on Visual Studio Community 2015, the following error is obtained.
What is the reason? Where can I check the error log from?
Couple of issues:
The Windows SDK link you provided (http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=8442) is for Windows 7. It is not compatible with Visual Studio 2015 for Windows Phone development.
I think this error you're seeing with the Windows Phone Template Pack (HRESULT: 0x80070057) is because the Windows and Windows Phone 8.1 Tools are not installed on your computer along with Visual Studio Community 2015.
I am able to reproduce this only when the Windows and Windows Phone 8.1 Tools are not installed.
If I click skip, then I see the error dialog you included above.
To resolve this issue,
Go into the Control Panel
Open up Add/Remove Programs (or Programs & Features depending on your OS version)
Select Visual Studio Community 2015, then click Change
In VS setup, click Modify
Make sure that the "Tools and Windows SDKs" feature under "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools" is checked.
If you're running Windows 8.0/8.1/10 x64 Professional or higher with a Hyper-V capable computer and then you should also be able to install the Windows Phone 8.1 emulators.

Found this answer today, but it no longer works, or doesn't work if the host OS is Windows 7 Pro. I just installed Windows 7 Pro (plus all updates) and then VS2015 (plus all of ITS updates) on an otherwise CLEAN computer. NO SDK was installed. My options for modify look like this:
The Windows 8.1...Tools option is TOTALLY MISSING. The Windows 10.0 SDK is offered under the Universal Windows...Tools option, but that doesn't help me with Windows 7 targeted development.
Also, FWIW, the Windows 8.1 install tool that Microsoft is offering for download just gets an APPCRASH every time I try to use it (and yes, I've downloaded it several times, even to different machines, but always with the same result.)
So for me, I can either stick with Visual Studio 2010 or suffer the user interface abomination that is/was Visual Studio 2012 (not gonna happen). Sigh.
I have a windows Application developed in Visual Studio 2013.
When i tried to install the current installation on Windows XP, i get an error as "The setup file was interrupted. Appname could not be installed.Please try again"
After i did some google, i found that build files of Studio 2013 is not supported for Windows XP.
I need help for creating the required setup file for Windows XP OS via VS 2013?
I am currently working on a long-term project for which I need Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2012 (2010 not necessary). Right now I have Windows 7, but I would really like to upgrade. Is it possible to install all of those versions of Visual Studio on Windows 8?
2012 can obviously installed (and takes away the need for 2010). I already found reports that 2008 is also possible if the 3.5 framework is enabled through Windows Features, but I'm unsure about Visual Studio 2005.
Is it possible and does anybody have any experience with this?
PS: Do not come with solutions as "Why still use 2005, 2008, ...", I really need it.
After installing it on VMWare (Virtualbox gives errors) I've enabled framework 3.5 (which indeed contains 2.0 and 2.5). After that I've installed Visual Studio C# Express Edition. During installation and startup of VS it gives a lot of "This program has been known for comptability problems" warnings and they offer to search help online or to run it as usual. I've always opted to let it run as usual. It installed fine and I could compile and run a Visual C# Windows application.
Visual Studio 2005 Standard installed mostly fine for me. I installed it on Windows 8 on an x64 CPU. It complained a bunch about "known compatibility issues," but if I told it to carry on everything seemed to go fine. The only catch was that "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x64" failed to install. Also, I had to run Visual Studio as administrator the first time so it could finish its setup, but after that I've just run it with my normal account.
Download Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and install to VMWare or Virtual Box. It's a 3 month trial and would allow you to test VS2005 plus the others. Once downloaded, it's a fast install. You can download from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx
For an install of Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7 as well as Windows 8 I install three things: (1) Visual Studio 2005, (2) Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1, and (3) Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista.
The Visual Studio 2005 service packs can be a bit difficult to locate on Microsoft's web site since everything is really about Visual Studio 2012 and later.
When installing Visual Studio 2005, there will be a number of Incompatible warnings displayed. I just click through them to get to the end.
Also I do a custom install and do not install some components: (1) Crystal Reports and (2) SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1 which seems to be for all editions of Visual Studio 2005 including Professional Edition which I use.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista is required to update Service Pack 1 to work with Windows Vista and later.
Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 won't install by default on Windows versions later than 7.
In Windows 8.1, go to:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off
Check the box labeled ".NET 3.5 (Includes 1.0 and 2.0)" and press OK / Apply.
My system has issues with trying to download the files for such programs, and thus there is a way to bypass this error by running a script which installs the files from a Windows installation disc.
Here is the script (for error 0x800F0906, at least):
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
You can replace /Source:D: with whatever drive letter you may be using for your optical / virtual drive, if needed.
