Visual Studio 2012 pro @ Windows 8.1

When I build my Project, I always get the following errors:
1>------ Build started: Project: ConsoleApplication3, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(344,5): warning MSB8003: Could not find WindowsSDKDir variable from the registry.  TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number.

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
In the properties is the right Version Number installed, I have the right SDK-kits (8.1, 8.1A), I reinstalled the Software and also the Laptop a few times, nothing works.
Know any answer?
Greets,

Hello NicoleSF,
Maybe you can refer to Amanda's post from here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/48a4500c-2c48-43dd-822b-10e83258d18b/warning-msb8003-could-not-find-windowssdkdir-variable-from-the-registry-targetframeworkversion-or?forum=visualstudiogeneral
To change the platform toolset, you can also refer to MSDN
here.
To fix the registry, please read to the blogs as shown on above VS general thread:
https://helgeklein.com/blog/2010/01/visual-studio-fixing-broken-windowssdkdir-variable/
However, it is better for you to check the following first:
1. Have you get any installation problem when install?
2. Are you able to use Visual Studio to create projects before you get this error?
If it is actually a corrupt setup issue, you'd better repair Visual Studio control panel first and remeber to verify your installer, for example, ISO need to be verified from here:https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs

  • App.Xaml cannot be edited in design view(Visual Studio 2012 for Window Store).

     App.Xaml cannot be edited in design view(Visual Studio 2012 for Window Store).

    The
    Simple Application Walkthrough specifically instructs one to edit App.xaml (because it previously had you inject a defect by changing the name of the file StartupUri property points to). So that is the scenario, or one of them. I assume it is 'valid'
    to rename MainWindow.xaml to whatever you want it to be.
    So there should be some way in the IDE to fix this (short of changing the file name back to match StartupUri). What is it? 
    Like another person here, I just edited it with a text editor and reloaded it into VS. But...

    I have create the new solution using CODED UI project. I have use the Recorded the steps using UImap- Coded Ui test builder.(i.e just opening the calc). All the class file ,CodedUitest1.cs, UIMap.cs, UIMAp.Designer.cs is generated.

    Could any one please help me if i need to add some special setting while running the code.

    You didn't specify any error.  The Build message is saying that MSBuild ran and found that 1 project was already up to date and didn't need to be rebuilt.  There were no other projects that were built.

  • Installing Visual Studio 2012 update 4 on Windows 10 preview

    Hi all,
    I successfully installed visual studio 2012 on Windows 10 preview but when I try to install update 4 I get an error about compatibility:
    I tried downloading the update with "VS2012.4 /Layout"
    but I could not find any way to control the compatibility setting...
    any advise?
    Smadar

    What's the name of the file you're using to install Visual Studio?
    It seems there may be a bug in Windows 8.1 (and hence also Windows 10) where re-naming the EXE file fixes the problem.  More information is available
    here, however the applicable text is below:
    "Thank you for taking the time to submit this issue to Connect. This is a known issue with Windows 8.1 RTM and it will be addressed in a future update of Windows 8.1. In the meantime,
    you can typically rename the EXE to get it to work correctly. 
    Examples:
    Visual Studio Professional 2012 installer should be renamed to vs_professional.exe
    Premium -> vs_premium.exe
    Ultimate -> vs_ultimate.exe
    Please let me know if this resolves your issue."
    Hope that helps!

  • Can't connect to VPN anymore after installation of visual studio 2012

    I found that a similar question was  asked, albeit for the previous version of Windows and visual studio
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/335e9de5-f183-4d03-a441-95bc151dc7d0
    it took me few days to resolve an issue, so decided to share here.
    as a headline goes the story was: I installed Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 and after installation  an L2TP vpn connection gave error 789
    the solution I found with my internet provider was  to change in registry
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\Parameters]
    "ProhibitIpSec"=dword:00000001
    it looks though that this issue should be fixed, while my solution works it is hardly  useful hint for most 
    affected ( if only they find a solution by search ).

    Hi,

  • Visual Studio 2012 MFC C++ Win32 Compiled Application wouldn't run on Windows XP... FIXED!

    Converted a large Visual Studio 2005 MFC C++ Win32 Application to Visual Studio 2012.

    VF,
    Sounds like a plan.
    We are experimenting with Visual Studio 2012 on the Metro Style for our applications. So far, Windows 8 and Metro Style are extremely frustrating to me.
    Have VS2003 and VS2005 which is where most of our executable program code has been generated.
    We also have VS2008, VS2010, and VS2012.
    The ultimate goal was / is to convert a very large MFC C++ Program from VS2005 into VS2012 Metro Application... and VS2012 is fighting me every step of the way... Mostly linker errors at the moment... and that is just trying to do the DirectX Initialization
    for a Video Window without building the Video Graph.
    Oh well... The fight continues!

  • How create Windows Services in Azure using Visual Studio 2012

    Hi,
    I have a need to write a Windows Service (Batch Job), which would execute everyday at a specified time, say 4:00AM. This job will do some processing and will send out an email to predefined users. I am using Visual Studio 2012 for the development.
    Based on some research, it looks like that Azure doesn't have a concept of Windows Service. Rather, we need to create WorkerRole to achieve the same.
    I wrote the code to implement the WorkerRole. The problem, I am facing is that
    1. How to prevent the continuous looping of the code below? I want the task to be executed only once a day at 4:00AM
    2. How do I schedule this functionality in Azure?
    Any help will be highly appreciated. I have provided the code sample below.
    Thanks.
       public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
            public override void Run()
                while (true)
                    SendNewsEmail();
                    Thread.Sleep(10000);
           private void SendNewsEmail()
                /*Email Logic Goes Here*/
            public override bool OnStart()
                // Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
                ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
                return base.OnStart();

    HI
    I think JuneT's answer is what you want.
    However it's for Azure website.
    If you still want to use a workerRole, you need much harder work.
    You can use Timers Class to do such things:
    http://stick2basic.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/how-to-schedule-a-c-windows-service-to-run-a-method-daily/
    How do I schedule this functionality in Azure
    I suggest you save the settings file in a cloud table, and notify your webrole using WCF service to let the service get the new settings when your changed it.

  • AppV 5.0 - Unable to Sequence Visual Studio 2012 - Unresolved

    Hi there,
    Would you be so kind to assist me with the error which is reported when my sequencing of the Visual Studio 2012 fails?
    Here are the details:
    App-V 5.0.
    Sequencer: Windows 7 SP1 Pro x86. 1.5 GB.
    Visual Studio 2012 Premium MSDN.
    Error: occurs at "Create Package" step. There is 9.3 GB of free space available at that time.
    Error message: The virtual package could not be saved because an internal error occurred. For details, consult the sequencer event log. Typical reasons for save failures include:
    1) Package size is too large.
    2) Sharing violation - another application is blocking access to a file in the package.
    An error was encountered while trying to finalize the package. Please check the event log for more details.
    Thank you very much for your help and time in advance!

    If you are using the 4.x version of the Sequencer, the potantial cause message points to the right direction: App-V 4 only supports package sizes of 4 GB max, and it might be that your VisualStudio installation is larger than that.

  • 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.

  • SQL Server Database Connectivity with Visual Studio 2012 - Help Needed

    Hello,
    I am having Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Developer 4.0 installed on my system with Windows 8 - 64bit
    I want to shift a VS project with an SQL database connectivity to another new Laptop (above mentioned) ...
    I have the project opened in VS without bieng connected to the database.. 
    I have a backup file of the database (which needs to be restored to a new created database on SQL Developer) 
    The problem:
    I am unable to create a server connection in SQL Developer which will allow me to create a new database followed by the recovery from backup file.
    I am getting the following error message when I try to create a connection:
    Status: Faliure - IO error: The network adapter could not establish a connection
    Please help me in setting up a server connection and adding a new sql database

    The error message seemed unfamiliar to me and since I had never heard of SQL Developer before, I went to Google. Google might be pulling my legs, but it appears that SQL Developer is related to Oracle. This forum is devoted to SQL Server, so you are in the
    wrong place.
    Try finding a forum for SQL Developer.

  • Visual studio 2012 the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace in visual WebPart

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to create a visual webpart in SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2012 and I am seeing that the file ascx.g.cs
    is missing and i have this error in file ascx.cs : the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace.
    And like i said i use VS2012 Ultimate
    Can anyone Help me please!!!
    thanks.

    In most scenarios this is caused by some error in code preventing Visual Studio from generating the designer file. You could try to undo the latest changes and see whether the item is being generated or not. Additionally you could try checking if the custom
    tool is still associated with the Visual Web Part SPI in the Properties Window.
