Problem to make new project in visual studio 2012 Ultimate RTM This is often caused by registry permission problems

hi
i Install Visual studio Ultimate 2012 RTM and ..
when i want to create a new project (windows application form C#) give me this error :"Visual Studio does not have permissions to read the template information from the system registry. This is often caused by registry permission problems"
what can i do for this problem ?
how can i solve this ?
Visual studio Ultimate 2012 RTM

This issue is quite wide-spread and it affected older Visual Studio versions. I am disapointed by the amount of junk advice and the lack of proper stance from Microsoft.
The only correct solution I could find was provided by HallCrash on July 01, 2010 in this similar thread:
social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbexpress2008prerelease/thread/c273b0e1-7f46-4065-afaf-4edf285d2531
Ironically, that thread is locked and I was not able to give recognition to HallCrash there ...
You'd have to scroll almost to the bottom to find HallCrash's solution. That solution is based on a Microsoft supported tool (SubInACL) which can be downloaded here: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510. It limits the registry changes strictly
to Visual Studio. Nevertheless, start by creating a System Restore Point.
I do not trust and would not recommend using unknown software (such as the Softpedia suggestion) for this.
Cheers

Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate - GUI not loading.

Recently, my copy of Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate has started loading in with a completely white screen with only the grey General bar on the left.
The other graphics render after resizing the window but the menu items (File, Edit, View, etc.) won't drop down menus when clicked on.
I have tried repairing Visual Studio (through Programs and Features), but the problem persists.
Has anyone else had this issue? Did you manage to fix it?

Hi Jaosh,
Glad to receive your reply.
According to your description, you mean that when you re-install the VS 2012 Ultimate, the grey General bar and
the window’s menu items (File, Edit, View, etc.) still won't drop down menus when you clicked on, am I right?
If yes, to make sure the issue if it is related to the VS IDE or Windows System, I suggest you can try to install
the VS 2012 Ultimate on another machine check if you get same issue.
Note: you'd better sure you have same system configuration on another machine.
If you did not get same issue on another machine, I doubt that the issue may be related to your windows system.
I suggest you can repair your machine and then check this issue again.
If you still get the issue, I think that I suggest you can try the following commands to check the issue.
Step1: You can try to run your VS in safe mode check this issue again.
Reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278(v=vs.110).aspx
Step2: You can try to reset the setting file by using
devenv /resetsetting commands
Step3: You can correct the log and upload the onedrive, then copy link here.

Evaluation period has ended trying to create a BizTalk project in Visual Studio 2013 ultimate

Hi,
I am doing a proof-of-concept with BizTalk, and I am using evaluation versions of everything involved, SQL server 2012 SP1, Windows server 2012, Visual Studio 2013 R2 and BizTalk 2013 R2.
All worked (relatively speaking) until I finally came to creating a BizTalk project in Visual Studio 2013 R2.
I installed the relevant BizTalk components on that machine (windows 8.1 32-bit, non eval) and then I get the BizTalk evaluation period has ended error message.
I am sort of stumped, I have a long while left on the evaluation period on all involved software, anyone knows what this is about?

Hi,
Try repairing the BizTalk installation.
Mark As Answer or Vote As Helpful if this helps.
DPS Bali: I repaired the BizTAlk installation and it worked!
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Converting a LightSwitch project to Visual Studio 2012

We have a LightSwitch project that works in VS2010. We are trying to convert it to VS2012 before converting it to VS2013 (because apparently you have to go through VS2012 first).
We installed VS2012 with Update 4.
Now when the project is loaded we get the following errors:
Could not find the following extensions: Microsoft.Lightswitch.Extensions. Unable to update file D:\SCM\Licence 2013\PP.Licensing.PPLicenceManager\Server\web.config.
and then the following error twice:
Cannot load the application item provider:\nSequence contains no elements\nThis may indicate the model file is corrupted.
The LightSwitch project itself has no files in it. I also do not have Resharper installed (which has been mentioned on a few threads). I have also looked in detail at the project files in Notepad (again mentioned on some threads) and they look to be OK.
So I created a new LightSwitch project in VS2012 and the Server folder had a web.config file in it (my original solution did now have one). I added this file into my new solution and the first error did not appear but the two following it did.
Has anyone got any ideas what is going on? I am probably going to try and start with a clean machine but any ideas would be welcome. The conversion of this project has been extremely painful.
Thanks
Ian

Hi ghostme,
Based on your description, this issue is related to the SQL Server Script, like this document:
CREATE SEQUENCE (Transact-SQL)
I think it would be related to the SQL Server, so if possible, I suggest you select the correct forum here:

How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hello,
My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report.
In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
Thanks.
qatm

Hi qatm,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
test.
Thanks for your understanding.

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 Installation Hangs on "Windows Software Development Kit" step

Hi,
I am attempting to install Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine that also has Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate already installed.
Unfortunately, the installation always hangs on the "Windows Software Development Kit" step. I have let it run overnight and the installation process never gets past this step. I always have to just kill the process, and uninstall.
I have validated the checksum of the ISO, run the .exe as administrator, and also tried to install the software to both the C and D drive.
I have also tried to run the installation with all of the optional components checked as well as with none of the optional components checked.
In addition, I have uninstalled visual studio 2013 using the /uninstall /force command
I have examined the log files produced at C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Temp and I dont see anything obviously wrong.
Here are the last few lines of the dd_vs_ultimate_20150109195533_225_Windows_SDK_Desktop.log file
MSI (s) (DC:F0) [20:18:20:263]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Features\A2FE5D06C0E403C2836F952CE631F4A4 3: 2

Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? Are there any specific log files I could provide to help pinpoint the problem?
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
"I have validated the checksum of the ISO" Do you mean you have used this page
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx# to verify your ISO?
Please send your full logs to me by use http://aka.ms/vscollect . After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to
https://skydrive.live.com/
and share the link here.
Actually you can refer to the following page to troubleshoot Windows SDK issue:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee248512(v=vs.100).aspx
The recommend way is to manually install Windows SDK itself and check the logs in detail.

Add-in for Access 2010/2013 with Visual Studio 2012 (2013 Preview)

Hello!
Am i right: Microsoft wants to kill Access in favor of Azure/SQL stuff?
I was unable to find any Projects in Visual Studio 2012/2013 to create an Addon for Access 2010 or 2013 (only Word, Excel, Outlook).
There is even no Microsoft.Office.Tools.Access.ApplicationFactory
to install add-in to Access App.
Any solutions for VS 2012?
Or i should use outdated Shared Add-in with VS 2010?
Thank you!

Sorry Donald M from Microsoft,
You need to rethink that response. IDTExtensibility2 is an outdated Office 2003 technology.
Everything EXCEPT the ThisAddIn.designer.cs reference to ApplicationFactory _factory compiles when you switch references in another Office application's VSTO project template to msaccess and dao libraries. Even the Access icon shows up in Visual
Studio 2013. The only reason a Ribbon.xml project will not load into Access is that Microsoft hasn't provided the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Access DLL for it. If you leave the Factory reference pointing to global::Microsoft.Office.Tools.Factory,
the add-in compiles but will not load.
MICROSOFT: Please provide us the missing Factories for MSAccess and OneNote.

Sharepoint 2013 - Can I use Visual Studio 2012 express edition for web-parts and app parts?

I am new to sharepoint 2013. I want to develop the app and web parts using visual studio 2012 express edition. Can I use vs 2012 express edtion to create app and web parts for sharepoint 2013?

Unfortunately no, check this post:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/52338/sharepoint2013-development-with-vs2012-express
To build SharePoint 2013 webparts/apps you will need the 'Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012', which do not come as part of Visual Studio. The tools require Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, Premium, or Professional.
The tools and prerequisites can be found here:

Thanks in Advance

Hi Arpit,
Welcome to the MSDN Forum.
As far as I know, Visual Studio 2010 is compatible with Windows 7 SP1. I think this issue might related with the Visual Studio install media. I recommand you download Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate from
this link, and follow the steps below to install it:
Before install Visual Studio, please finish the steps below first:
Turn off your anti-virus/antispyware software during installation;
Install the latest Windows updates from the Windows Update site:
http://update.microsoft.com;
Complete or dismiss Windows Update before installation. (And don't forget to turn it on later);
Clean your %temp% folder (Start Menu >> Run >> Type "%temp% >> OK);
Run the setup with Administrator privilege: right-click the installer -> Run as administrator
If the installation still failed, please collect the installation log files from "%temp%" folder with the
Log Collection Tool.
Send the vslogs.cab file in the %temp% folder to me for further analyze(E-mail: v-anwu_at_microsoft_dot_com). Note: Please attach the link of this post in the mail.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Import SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows into Visual Studio 2012

I have some 2013 workflows created with SharePoint Designer 2013. I can save the workflows as templates ie WSP files but i cannot figure out how to import them into visual studio 2012. Is this possible? please note the import resusable workflows option
is for sharepoint 2010.

"The workflow activities/actions are in separate assemblies, and each tool references a different one." so you will get an error when you try to open the SPD workflow using Visual Studio.
Please check similar thread below for more details
