Visual Studio 2015 for maintenance of Projects created in VS2008

From what I have read, VS2015 cannot import a project developed using VS2008, but are there guidelines on how one might go about setting up a new project in VS2015 to use code originally developed using VS2008?

Visual Studios 20122 - Installing the redist file or including merge modules?

$
0
0

We have a GUI app that is built on both Linux and Windows, so we do not develop/build inside Visual Studios as a project/solution.  We do compile with Visual Studios but we use cygwin/command line to do it.

I am trying to deploy an end-user application.  For the Windows version, I am using InnoSetup to create an installer exe (Linux version is just a zip file).

InnoSetup works very well for the majority of what I need to do, but I ran into an issue when upgrading my platform from VC10 to VC11.

With VC10, my [Run] section looked like this for installing the vcredist_x64.exe:

[Run]
Filename: {app}\Redist\vcredist_x64.exe; Parameters: "/q:a /c:""VCREDI~2.EXE /q:a /c:"""" /i vcredist.msi /qb!"""" "" "

This, though annoying in that it always installed and required input, worked.

But in switching to VC11:

[Run]  
Filename: {app}\Redist\vcredist_x64.exe; Parameters: "/q:a /c:""VCREDI~2.EXE /q:a /c:"""" /i vcredist.msi /qb!"""" "" "; StatusMsg: Installing 2012 RunTime Libraries...;

I have a strange thing happen - when my installer gets to this point, it continuously launches vcredist_x64.exe.  The panel hangs, I go to the control panel and there are many, many instances.  Killing the setup will bring down the original panel, but not kill all the vcredist instances, I have to reboot.  After reboot I can see in Program and Features that none of the vcredists launched actually installed.

Now if I just double click vcredist_x64.exe it works just fine, and it correctly appears in Programs and Features.

So I started searching for solutions to this issue, and came across these articles:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2007/10/12/how-to-redistribute-the-visual-c-libraries-with-your-application.aspx

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235290.aspx

The first suggests you should never use vcredist (although written in 2007), the second suggests you should default to using vcredist, and only use merge modules for special situations.

I will admit my first hope/desire is to just get vcredist to work correctly with InnoSetup:

- install only if needed 
- install quietly in the background or just with a status bar

but I really need to solve this issue, so I'm willing to switch to merge modules if that's the way I should go.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Heather

Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 update 4 locks up when pressing 'Select Team Projects'

$

This problem has been happening for a week now.  My machine was fine before that.  I don't know what could have changed, but whenever I click the 'Select Team Projects' link in Team Explorer, my entire visual studio is non-responsive.  When I close with task manager, I get 'Microsoft Visual Studio has detected that an operation is blocking user input.  This can be caused by an active modal dialog or a task that needs to block user interaction."   I see no modal or anything that points me toward what is causing this.  

I checked online and found nothing to help.  I repaired visual studio -- no fix.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the application -- no fix.  I'm at my wits end... can anybody offer any assistance, please?  Thanks!

Does Visual Studio 2013 still support WPF Designer Extensibility?

$

I found some documentation on WPF Designer Extensibility for .NET Framework 3.5 and I tried out the "How To" here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb907313%28v=vs.90%29.aspx

I tried it in Visual Studio 2013, but I wasn't ever able to get the design extension to work.  Does Visual Studio 2013 still support WPF Extensibility?  If so, what might be different between when the "How To" was written and now that would cause the instructions to fail?  Or is there another way to control WPF controls at design time?

Thanks!

Visual Studio 2015 - Visual Basic 10 not supporting Global namespace

I started using Visual Studio 2015 yesterday on my existing website development.  Now I get the error "visual basic 10 does not support declaring a global namespace" when running a page.  This is in my datacontext.designer.vb file, which is generated by VS. I think Visual Basic 10 was downloaded with Visual Studio 2015 - I didn't have this problem when still using VS2013.

Unable to Create a C++ Projekt in VisualStudio 2010

$

Hi,

my Visual Studio does not create new C++ Projecs, in older Projects it doesen't find my C++-Compiler, that is installed with Visual Studio.

I have a fresh Windows 7 Installation, installed 3 days ago as well a new Visual Studio Professional Installation (complete), I only modified the pathes to my projects. When I try to create a new C++ project the wizard flickers and the same window reapears without a project created. Projects in the other languages (c#, F#,...) are created without any trouble. My older C++ projects compile with Visual Studio 2010 on different machines, so I'm fairly sure the projects aren't corrupt.

I have the same problems in safe mode (Windows and/or VS) and new account, already tried reseting the Default Settings as well as repairing the VS Installation with the wizard and a new Installation. None did work, so I still cannot work with C++ in VS.

Regards

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and it has started having a problem recently which I can not understand why. Everytime I use or try editing a DataGridView, Visual Studio stops working and has to restart the program. I tried repairing it and also uninstalled and re-installed it, but the problem persists. Please can help be given as to what I can do to solve this issue. It is causing me such delays. Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

tasklist returns "unknown" status for most processes.

On 32 bit Windows XP, running "tasklist /v" from an elevated command prompt will fill in the status with running / not running.

However, in 64 bit Windows 7 Pro, most of the processes listed by tasklist have an "unknown" status.  Is this a limitation of tasklist?  Is there a way to get a list of running processes and their status in Windows 7 Pro?

HelpLibAgent.exe has stopped working

$

If I try to View Help from within the Visual Studio 2010 SP1 shell or SQL 2012 Management Studio, or if I try to run the HelpLibAgent application directly from within File Explorer on my new Windows 8.1 machine I receive a message that states, "HelpLibAgent.exe has stopped working". I am confident that everything has been installed identically to the way that everything was installed on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, on which I never encountered this problem, so I can only assume that it is due to me now using Windows 8.1 64-bit. Therefore, after two days of trying everything that I can think of to view local help (all files are in the specified library location of C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\HelpLibrary\), including repairing SQL 2012 and the Visual Studio 2010 Shell, making various registry changes and config file changes that have been suggested by others, and running as an administrator and standard user, I would be immensely grateful for any suggestions that do not require removing and reinstalling SQL 2012.

When I receive the error message specified in the title to this thread, the following two errors appear in the Windows log.

How do I download VS2013 Pro to my new P'C. I have a license for my retiring PC for this product

I purchased VS2013 Pro and downloaded it to my old PC about a year ago. I just bought a new PC and want to download VS2013 Pro to it.  I shouldn't incur a charge for this, but I'm afraid to download it onto the new PC and then find out I'm being charged for it.

Where can I get information on this download of VS2013 Pro which is licensed to me.
