Can we install visual studio in external harddisk?
pls clarrfy this..
thanks in advance.
You can install it to an external hard drive, but it will only work on the computer you installed it on.
Visual studio cannot be run as a "mobile" application.
Your only option to do this is to setup a virtual machine and install VS on that. You still have to make sure you can run the VM on the computer you connect the drive to.

I am running Windows 7 with the Service Package using Visual Studio 2017.
Anything that I try to install using Visual Studio Installer just stops downloading once it reaches 5MB and the error message will disappear too quickly for me to read it. I am not an Administrator.
A few suggestions I have searched have told me to look through a 'Certificates' folder but I do not seem to have this folder in my program files. Any help appreciated!
I had an administrator come to my computer and run the installer, and it worked just fine.
I have Ubuntu installed on my system. Now I have a project to do using Visual Studio in C#.
I want to know whether I can install Windows inside a Virtual Box and then install Visual Studio. Will I be able to develop Csharp application in a virtual environment? Will the Virtual Box support the running of Visual Studio software?
Thanks in advance.
Sure. I've done this.
You can install a Windows vm in VirtualBox.
Using Visual Studio doesn't depend on whether your Windows is a virtual machine or not.
I used daemon tools lite for installing visual studio 2010 iso file but now i want to remove unwanted softwares from my system. Do uninstalling daemon tools lite will affect my visual studio 2010 installation.
It should not, deamon tools only create a virtual disk, visual studio do not need the CD to be present in the drive when you run it.
No it won't. Remove it if you want.
I'm trying to the install the latest version of the Windows Azure SDK on Windows 7 using the Web Platform Installer. The installation succeeds but I'm not able to see Windows Azure project templates in Visual Studio 2010. Any ideas are appreciated.
Cheers,
In a vanilla install of Visual Studio 2010 (SP1) they should be there automatically in the folder "Cloud". There you can download the Azure Tools to actually use them.
see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff687127.aspx
I would like to know whether you can see the “Cloud” folder on the left side of the new project dialog. If not, please try to run the following command:
Devenv /resetsettings
When you first run Visual Studio, a dialog may be prompted for you to choose a setting. Please make sure to choose general developer settings. If you choose other settings, certain project templates may be hidden.
Best Regards,
Ming Xu.
Please check if you have the following folder on your machine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Cloud
You can use “Program Files” instead of “Program Files (x86)” if you’re on a 32 bit machine. If Windows Azure is installed, you can see project templates under this folder.
Best Regards,
Ming Xu.
Try installing Windows Azure SDK manually by downloading individual msi's from here (depending on your machine arch) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=28045
and see if you are running into an error for any one of them.
(WindowsAzureTools.VS100.exe should install the project templates)
Hope this helps.
Finally got it working.
Uninstalled Visual Studio 2010 Express
Repaired and did a complete install of Visual Studio 2010
Installed the Azure tools and SDK manually
Not sure why it worked but it did. Thanks for all the answers!

Are you using a version of Visual Studio where you can create Web projects and things like that? Maybe it is a problem with the version. Can you create MVC projects?
My laptop had an install error with Vista Ultimate and now it does not let me run Visual Studio. I was able to install Visual Studio 2008 on my HP TouchSmart without a problem and now I use it on there. I want to be able to travel though. So I was wondering if I take the folder in which Visual Studio was installed and put it on my external hard drive and just run it off of there. Is this possible? I've managed to do it with other programs before.
No this will not work with Visual Studio. You're essentially asking if Visual Studio is xcopy deployable. It unfortunately is not. It relies on many items which are not simply a part of the install folder including ...
Registry Keys
Certain versions of the CLR being installed
Supporting programs and libraries
And many, many other items.
As others have said, because of the dependencies it is not xcopy deployable. Maybe Virtual PC is the answer to your problems.
You can install VS 2008 on some other drive/older in your computer. Bu VS 2008 needs to run some DLL or other files to run in the OS. So you can not install it.
There are many pre-requisites that are installed with VS 2008, so I think that it's not a good idea.
