Is there any place from where I can download the Visual Studio 2008 sample macros?
It turned out that the folder VSMacros80\Samples is empty on my station.
Thanks!
As far as I know, these aren't available online. (The closest thing I could find was the Visual Studio 2005 Automation Samples, but I don't think this will give you want you are looking for.)
Have you tried a "repair" install? That might add them again.

I found this post to change the color scheme but there are no ready style look like VS2008, anyone can suggest me a link to download VS2008 style for VS2010 ?

In addition if found the following styles for vs2010 to look like vs2008:

Keep in my mind you need to install vs extension as prerequisite - https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/20cd93a2-c435-4d00-a797-499f16402378/
Update: Since the above links haven't satisfied the answer, I'm adding another source I've found to support the question.

I have a project written in PowerShell and I want to create an interface for it using Visual Studio 2012. How can I load the .ps1 file in Solution Explorer? I have already run through these steps:
http://nickmeldrum.com/blog/how-to-run-powershell-scripts-from-solution-explorer-in-visual-studio-2010
(the steps are for Visual Studio 2010 but I thought the settings shouldn't differ too much) but now I don't know what to do...I have to install some tools or something?Thank you!
You haven't specified what's the issue here. Steps from the linked article should work with Visual Studio 2012 without any adjustments as far as I see. Make sure that you followed those steps correctly.
BTW, you may want to install "PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio 2012" extension.
OK, can't find a solution to this.
A client sent me his Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web project. I have Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 installed.
I get an error when I try to open his project saying "this project is not compatible with the current version of visual studio".
We'll be passing the project back & forth quite a bit, so I need a solution that meets that need please.
So, I figure I may be able to modify the project with a text editor to let me open it. If so, do I have to re-edit it back when I send it back to him?
Can I install VS Express 2012 for Web on a machine that already has VS Ultimate 2010 on it without any conflicts? Can I open it if I install VS 2012 Ultimate (keeping 2010 as well)?
I have another client that uses 2010, so whatever I do, I need to be able to still support him.
If I can't have 2 versions installed at the same time, and can't easily edit a file to make it compatible, then I guess my last option is a virtual machine.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Microsoft Visual Studio has backwards compatibility since the version 2010 SP1.
So in this case you just need update your Visual Studio 2010 to SP1 and it will understand the new way files are versioned.
Based on my experience:
You do can edit it with a text file and send it back, but it's not compiled yet so it's your partners job.
Maybe, just maybe, you can edit the .sln and .(whatever the project file extension is) file to meet your VS10 env (I think it's going to be a bumpy road though)
Yes, I'm pretty sure you can have VS 10 and VS 12 installed on same machine, note that you have to have .Net 4.0 and .Net 4.5
I'm using Visual C++ Express 2010. Weird thing, when I start *.sln file with "Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector" (dblclick in explorer for example), I get 2 lines for each installed product.
Meaning duplicated (2010 and 10 are the same)
Visual C++ 2010
Visual C++ 10
How to remove one of them?

The values are probably in the registry. You should be able to figure out where the settings on with the help of Sysinternal's Process Monitor.
The Visual Studio Launcher is called VSLauncher.exe. If you filter for registry operations that are performed by that executable, it shouldn't be too hard to find.
.
I have made a github repo with the filter and the procmon events for your reference. Hope this helps.
In my work environment, Visual Studio currently crashes every time I start our main project unless I delete the .suo (solution options) and .ncb (C++ Intellisense symbols) files.
Obviously, I've found a workaround. Is there a more permanent solution than this?
Have you installed Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1?
Try monitoring the Visual Studio process using a tool like Process Monitor and get more info. It could be because of some weird file access issues.
The accepted answer wasn't quite correct, but it pointed in the right direction.
There is a hotfix for VS2k5 SP1 described in KB article 947315 that addresses this issue.
