Visual Studio 2013 Hangs

I have just installed vs_community update 4. Since then, when I start VS it gets to the start page and hangs. I have a mouse pointer but it will not activate the menus. I have run Collect but there seems to be no facility to attach those files here.
Kind regards John

Visual Studio 2013 hangs/freezes when trying to click the designer view

my Visual Studio 2013 update 1 hangs/freezes when trying to click the designer view, after clicking "Design" I can not click "split" neather "Source". What can I do ? I already tried to set the "HTML (Web Forms) Editor
" as "Default"... thanks for support.
In VS2010 the same worked fine.
I "Run as Administrator".
ty for help

Hi,
I assume that you are not using VS2013 Express version. In order to get the reason about the hang issue, please use devenv /log to gather activity.xm log and find HR error from this log.If it shows some package corrupt, try to repair your VS.
Here are my general suggestions:
Please try to run devenv /ResetSettings (in command prompt) to eliminate the related potential settings problem.
Try disabling Add-ins (e.g. “Tools” | “Add-in Manager”) or run “devenv.exe /SafeMode”.This can eliminate the possibility that third party Add-ins or packages are causing problems. Also you can try these command lines:
devenv.exe /resetskippkgs and devenv.exe /resetuserdata
Try to create a new user account. This can help isolate user profile corruption related causes.
If the suggestions above are no help, please reinstall your VS.

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

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

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.

Unable to see function return values in Visual Studio 2013 debugger

Hi!
I can't see function return values in

Installed Version: Ultimate<o:p></o:p>
as described in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/06/27/seeing-function-return-values-in-the-debugger-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx
So what can I do to get this functionality back?
MsdnMezzo

Hi MsdnMezzo,
Reference:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/06/27/seeing-function-return-values-in-the-debugger-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx
If use the same sample in the above blog provided by you, how about the result? Could you debug it with the same steps? I could debug it in my side using the VS2013.
So to make sure that whether it is your VS IDE issue, please debug it with this sample, if it works well, I doubt that we would think about your specific project and the debugging steps.
If so, to really repro this issue, could you share us a sample with one drive? You could upload your project to one drive and share us the downloaded link in your new reply, I will download and repro this issue in my side.

Unit Testing with Microsoft Sharepoint Emulators and Fakes with Visual Studio 2013

Hi All,
I have created Test Project and now creating Test cases for Sharepoint. I found a link on MSDN which suggests using Fakes framework but it supports VS2012 and I am using Visual Studio 2013.
So how can I use it with VS2013 or is there any other way with which I can implement the Test cases with VS2013.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu Nigam

Hi HimanshuNigam,
According to your descrition, my understanding is that you want to use Fakes framework to create test case for SharePoint project in Visual Studio 2013.
If you want to test using Fakes Framework, you can use the codeplex extension to achieve it. It supports Visual Studio 2013.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
Better Unit Testing with Microsoft Fakes
About how to include the Nuget package, you can use the package with the link below:
NuGet Package Manager for Visual Studio 2013
Installing NuGet
If you still have question about this issue, I suggest you can create a post in Visual Studio, more experts will help you and you can get more detailed information from there:

How do I put a project using nmake (or other make util) into a visual studio 2013 project?

I'm not asking how to convert it over to visual studio's internal setup. I want to use the custom build feature to build the code prior to building the current project so that the library generated will be available to the project.
Steps I've used I got from
here:
Create a win32 dll project.
Copy the files into a subdirectory under the project.
In the Solution Explorer, I create a Filter that I then add all of the source, headers and Makefile to.
I select all of the items in that filter group and right click and select properties.
In Configuration Properties->General, I change Item Type to Custom Build Tool and click Apply. (In the Visual Studio 2013 community, this sometimes comes up with:
An error has occured while saving the edited properties listed below:
One or more values are invalid. Object reference not set to an instance of and object.
Yeah, that's not cryptic. 9.9. When that happens, I just click Ok and then click on the parent window, and it will ask me
Do you want to save the changes you've made to the property page?
To which I click Yes and it seems to apply it to all the files and I then reopen the property page again.
I then go to Configuration Properties->Custom Build Tool->General and set
Command Line to:
cd subfolder
nmake
For Outputs, I set it to subfolder\bin\output-file.lib.
For Link Objects, I leave it as Yes.
Clicking on ok and then building gets me the following error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'subfolder\bin\output-file.lib'.
Yeah, no kidding, it hasn't been made yet.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Adrian

I was trying to get it to be part of another project, and the information from Specifying Custom Build Tools stated:
If the Custom
Build Tool folder does not appear, the file extension of the file you selected is associated with a default tool. For example,
the default tool for .c and .cpp files is the compiler. To override a default tool setting, in the Configuration
Properties node, in the General folder,
in the Item Type property,
click Custom Build Tool.
Click Apply and
the Custom Build Tool node
is displayed.
Indicating that what I was trying to accomplish could be done. However, since this is 3rd party code, this seems to be a cleaner way of doing it.
Thanks,

Can't Create New Excel Project Visual Studio 2013 Office Tools The Project Cannot Be Created

I am having this issue on two computers. If I try to create an Excel 2013 Workbook C# in new projects, and choose create a new workbook, it starts to open Excel, and then I get this error in VS
I have tried:
Uninstall & Reinstall of VSTO from the Visual Studio Installer
Uninstall & Reinstall of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, (manually removing anything with visual studio that was left over)
Manually turning on the add-on Visual Studio Tools for Office Design-Time Adapter for Excel
Installing VSTO by hand
Enabling Macros
Running VS as administrator
Uninstalling & Reinstalling Office 2013 Pro Plus OLP
I have made this change to excel:
Like I said, this problem occurs on TWO pc's. I have tried 2013 Visual Studio R1 and R2. Does anyone have any ideas?
Edit 3-1-2015
There is still no answer to this, I have tried target frameworks:
4.0
4.5
4.51
And Running as Administrator. Recently I upgraded to the CTP of Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate and the same problem exists.

Thanks for the reply.
The issue is not reproducible for me and I can confirm this not a known issue. We might need to do deeper troubleshooting at the repro machines.

Adding SQL Server Express to Visual Studio 2013 Pro on Windows 10 Preview

I have installed VS 2013 Pro on Windows 10. I need to delevop unsing SQL Server Express. Do I download the full SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced (with full text search), or do I need only part of it? I was going to download the SQLEXPRADV_X64_ENU.exe.
Is this a good way to go?
Do I also need to download any other .net frameworks?

Visual Studio 2013 - New Project

Hi
Many years ago I wrote a VB6 program for school students for diet analysis in terms of energy and a range of vitamins and minerals. It drew comparisons against the national guidelines. Results were tabulated, graphed and output provided in Word
and Excel files. The VB6 program used an Access database containing about 850 foods. It has been used by quite a few schools and appears to always be used across a network.
My intention is to re-write the whole program in Visual Studio 2013 using Visual Basic code. I intend to refresh the whole program and add a wider range of foods and update the comparisons using the latest national guidelines and food label formats.
This will be my first attempt at Visual Studio and I intend to use a Windows Forms Application approach. The data used is "static" - it does not change it is simply a "read only" file - get the data, multiply for mass and add up each
category (energy, vitamins and minerals). It is a "file of data" rather than a true database. In reality a 1000 food data file should only be about 200 Kbytes. As an Excel file it is only 150Kbytes but as an Access file it is bloated
up to a 550Kbyte file.
The program is not sophisticated, so, should I be using a WPF Application or a Window Forms Application? The WFA just feels a bit more familiar than a WPF. Also, the program is intended for loading onto a network at some schools or on a stand-alone
computer.
My greatest concern is about the choice of approaching the data. A "true" database is not needed because the data is simply for about 1000 rows of food each with about 20 columns of data (numeric and text). The Access file is simple
but I could create an mdf file (I think) but would that be an advantage? With the Access data I appear to have loaded the file and created a DataAdapter and I have experimented with GetData() which works. My attempts to use ExecuteReader() failed
completely. Is there a better approach? such as SQL "DataTable.Rows(RowPosition)(“column name")”?? It seems a very sophisticated method for a small file of data.
The Access Database that I have experimented with in VS2013 appears to use Jet Drivers???? which proved to create a few problems for installations in the past. Should I be using an mdf file approach?? I will need to distribute the data in a "resx"
file. I could use SQL Server Management Studio (free download) and then use VS2013 to read the Access file and build a new mdf database.....
I am not convinced that I have the best solution. Any comments and suggestions would be very greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for reading this far.

Keith,
I intentionally truncated that post with “let me know when you’re that far along” simply because it’s very easy to get lost
with a concept that’s new. This isn’t as different as you might think though – you’ve been using a database, and now you’ll be using instances of a class (various ones).
Over the years here, I’ve seen many times where people use databases because they assume “that’s the only way to do it”. The
“it” actually being encapsulation.
Encapsulation
is what they need and certainly a database provides that (and a lot more), but it’s not the only way it can be done.
Think about this a bit: A DataRow encapsulates the related data for whatever it is. For example maybe it’s a person’s data –
you’d want to keep the person’s first name, surname, and things like that all together because it defines something related to that one person. You then have a collection of those DataRows in a DataTable.
In much the same way, what I have here is similar: Instead of a DataRow, I’m using instances of a class. Instead of columns
in a DataRow, I’m using properties of the instance, and instead of a DataTable, I’m using a List(Of Class).
…the concept is identical.
Classes are a means of building an object in OOP. In and of itself, it’s really just a template or a blueprint (overused metaphor).
Deborah Kurata put it best, in my opinion, when she said that a class is like a cookie-cutter and the objects created are cookies. You eat the cookies, not the cookie-cutter!
A class works that way exactly: You can’t “consume” a class; you consume the objects (instances) created by them and in this
case, like a DataTable housing DataRows, I’m storing them in a very specific type of collection known as a List(Of T).
I don’t want to get too far adrift about classes and/or OOP here – not that I would mind the discussion – but it’s a new concept
to you and it’s easy to get confused about what’s doing what. I’ll get more to the specifics next.
That entire class library is the data layer; it doesn’t work with controls of any sort, only the data.
That said though, in the following I’ll explain how controls can be ‘assisted’ by the methods in the classes.
The main class in this is the one called “FoodComposition”. That one is only barely started – the
only
method in it so far is an overloaded way to add a new instance to a list of them.
Two of the classes are really just ‘supporting classes’ – those being the ones called “FoodCategory” and “LabelNote”. Don’t
get me wrong here, they do have methods in them (with more to be added), but you won’t too much be working with those in the user’s program – you will in the program that I’ll create for you to add/modify/remove* and so on, but for now let’s set those two
aside.
* The fact that these are “supporting” classes, I have it set up such that you cannot remove an instance of those if there’s
a reference to them in FoodComposition. If you want to see where/how I’m doing that, look at the code of the class FoodCategory, for example, and go to line 633, then read the code of that method named “Remove”.
The one class in the bunch which is pretty much self-contained is the one called DietaryReferenceValue (DRV is the name you
used). That one makes for a good topic to explain how I can provide methods which lend a helping hand to your controls but don’t, directly, have anything to do with controls.
I have a method in that class named “GetAllGroupNames” which is a function that returns a string array containing the names
of each instance’s group. That might be used, for example, if you wanted to show a ListBox or a ComboBox to allow the user to select one of the group names:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim url As String = _
"http://www.fls-online.com/VBNet_Forum/12-13-14/NutritionData.xml"
GetNutritonData(url)
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(NutritionData.DietaryReferenceValue.GetAllGroupNames(drvList))
End Sub
So, for example, when the user selects one of them:
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
Try
If ListBox1.SelectedIndex > -1 Then
Dim selectedGroup As String = _
ListBox1.Items(ListBox1.SelectedIndex).ToString
Dim drv As NutritionData.DietaryReferenceValue = _
NutritionData.DietaryReferenceValue.GetInstance(drvList, selectedGroup)
MessageBox.Show(drv.ToString, drv.SexAndAgeGroup)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
"Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
End Try
End Sub
As you can see there, I’m using the .ToString method which I have overridden in the class. That’s also part of what I wanted
to discuss: What it gets.
Currently I don’t have much else (other than maintenance routines like adding, removing, renaming) in there; the methods that
you use are methods that I set up – but in the words of Hamlet, “therein lies the rub” … I don’t know what you want!
Give some thought to just what methods you might want to have in there. For example maybe you might want to have a method which
will return the value of one specific nutrient which you specify. I can do that, I just don’t know yet that you want it so it’s not there.
Quite often I’ll also provide what I’m come to call “convenience properties”. For example with the property named “Sodium”,
I might have another property (read-only) named “Sodium_String” which returns a string in whatever format you wanted it to have.
These are things I don’t know that you want and also things which you may not have known can be done, thus this writing. ;-)
The other day I asked about units. It may not be where you want to go with this but I’d also like to offer that we can provide
more granularity to the nutrients themselves. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be an overhaul of what I have right now, but I’ll do it if you want to proceed:
Imagine that we have a class, all by itself, that we call “Nutrients”. At the very least that class would have members like
Name and UnitOfMeasure, but it could have anything else you wanted. An example that comes to mind might be the URL to a page on Wikipedia about it, or maybe a URL to an appropriate image or … whatever you dream of here.
So then when using them in the other classes, “Calcium” would, itself, be an object which has a name (“Calcium”), a unit-of-measure
(maybe “milligram”), and so on.
It’s a lot to take in all at once and even this is something you may want to reread, but do give it thought. Let me know what
methods you want in the classes which will help you in your user’s program.
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

Visual Studio 2013 problem setting localhost alias in IIS Express

I'm trying to define an alias to localhost in development ambient in Visual Studio 2013.
When I used previous versions of Visual Studio, I used the Visual Studio Development Server to debug and the only thing I needed to do was to change my hosts file adding this entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhostalias
I'm having problems to do this with VS2013. I've browsed all over the internet and I've tried the following things, but I'd like someone of you to tell me what am I doing wrong. I've obviously already changed the hosts file...
In the web project Properties -> Web in the section Servers where IIS Express is selected as default, I tried changing http://localhost:53944 to http://localhostalias:53944 but an error is showed saying: "Unable to create the virtual directory. Cannot
create the Web site 'http://localhostalias:53944'. You must specify "localhost" for the server name".
I also tried changing the applicationhost.config which is located in <<Documents>>\IISExpress\config to
<site name="<<Site name>>" id="2">
<application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="<<Site Path>>" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:53944:*" />
</bindings>
</site>
And when I opened the project it was changed to
<site name="<<Site name>>" id="2">
<application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="<<Site Path>>" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:53944:*" />
</bindings>
</site>
<site name="<<Site name>>(1)" id="3">
<application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="<<Site Path>>" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:53944:localhost" />
</bindings>
</site>
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance,

Hello Camilo,
This forum supports "setup and deployment of .NET Framework.", if there is something about the installation of .NET Framework, you can post it here. I read your post and I think you should post it under

Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows - InitializeComponent() does not contain a definition issue

Hi,
I have recently downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows (Windows Store App version), with Update 1.
I create a blank app. I right-click on InitializeComponent() in the MainPage.xaml.cs and select Go To Definition. It brings me to the .g.i.cs file where this method resides.
I go into the designer for MainPage.xaml and create a grid of 2 rows and 2 columns (all at 1*). I add one button, doesn't matter where. I double click on that button to add a click method to MainPage.xaml.cs. Without entering anything into the button click
method, I scroll up and InitializeComponent() has an error and tells me there is not definition, even though I was looking at the definition a minute ago. I found I could unload the project and reload it and InitializeComponent() would have the definition
in the .g.i.cs file but as soon as I add another button click or anything else I run into the same error. It seems as if the .g.i.cs file is not automatically regenerating, or it is being deleted all together when the button click method is added to the xaml.cs
file.
Everything I have done up to this point is very vanilla. I installed VS '13 Express for Windows, didn't change any VS setting, created a project and ran into this issue. I installed Update 1 thinking there might be a fix from the update--no luck. The xaml
file Build Action is Page and the Xaml.cs file is Compile.
I have tried deleting the MainPage.xaml file, after the creation of a project, and adding a new MainPage file with the added templates VS wants to include, and I still run into the same issue.
I have searched for answers the past few days but haven't found anything that addresses my issue (most of what I found addresses VS '10 but their InitializeComponent() issues aren't the same as mine). Any help the MSDN community can provide would be
a great help. If worst comes to worst, I will re-install VS and see if that corrects it--this would be a last-ditch effort though.
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

Intellisense has a bug in VS2013 where it doesn't recognize InitializeComponent when you start working on the XAML. My feeling is that if you try to compile this app, it will run fine (as long as there are no actual errors).

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

Visual Studio 2013 slows down + crashes when using Source Control features.

I have spent two full days trying to resolve this issue but no luck so here we go,
I have created a project using Visual Studio Team Foundation Server plug-in in the past. Later on I switched to
Microsoft Git Provider.
Now when I connect to that project in the Team Explorer and double click on the solution to work on it locally it somehow changes the plug in to Microsoft Git Provider automatically and of course I can't
Commit/Commit and Push since I receive following error in the Team Explorer,
An error occurred. Detailed message: Failed to open directory 'C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Application Data/'
Manually changing the plug-in to the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
results in a broken Team Explorer as below,
With Settings leading to an empty pane, and also a warning in the Team Explorer's Changes page telling me the message below if I click on Pending Changes...
Microsoft Git Provider is not the current Source Control plug-in. Change Plug-in
And manually selecting the solution from Solution Explorer, right click and
Add Solution to Source Control, leads to never ending hour glass and (Not responding) visual studio.
New Projects
Creating a new project is straight forward, unless I "Add to Source Control" is checked. If so, again never ending process if Microsoft TFS plug-in is selected in the tools and eventually me Ending the Visual Studio task. And a VERY long process
(40+ mins) if I have chosen Microsoft Git but that finishes successfully rather.
New TFS project from Team Explorer
If I create a new project in my Online Web Studio
Click on Open with Visual Studio Link => Opens and connects to a my newly created TFS in team explorer.
Clicking new in Team Explorer under Solutions to create a new solution and bind it to this Repo
leads to straight crash of Visual Studio and restarting attempt of VS.
So I really can't use Source Control from visual studio other than cloning GitHub's existing repo's on Visual Studio and Committing my current Microsoft Git managed projects.
I have attempted
Repairing Visual Studio (no luck in results)
Devenv.exe /setup (no luck)
Trying to scrap the SCC info on my solution then at least it won't get picked up by source control then I can Check it in as a new project. (no luck and the solution picks the Microsoft Git upon opening it by clicking on the .sln file.) I have followed
these steps in this stack overflow answer.
And lots of mucking around like removing my workspaces almost Thousand times and putting them back, binding and etc.
I am really stuck on this and it's holding me back from staring a new project (which is problematic using Adding to Source Control) and unfortunately is dependent on the old project (which is developed under Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Plug-in which
is throwing tantrums)
Would like to hear you pro-s input on this
Using
Visual Studio 2013 Community edition (recently switched from Pro to Express to Community)
Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi Mehradzie,
Based on the description, seems you're working with Git team project in Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service). I'd like to know whether you mean Visual Studio Git command tool as the plug-in, and if you're trying to create solutions/projects
with Visual Studio and add them to the created Git team project.
From the screenshot, you're not connect to the Git team project by using Team Explorer. To work with Git team project locally, you can follow the instructions as below:
Connect to Git team project by using Team Explorer, after that you might install Git tools if you connect to the team project for the first time
Clone the remote Git repository to a local git repository and set the path to local git repository
Create a solution and select Git source control, also saved to the local path of the local git repository
Select your branch, and then click "Changes" and Commit the changes
Click "unsynced commits" and push the commit to remote git repository
You can also refer to the links below for more information about getting started with Git in Visual Studio Online.

SharePoint Connection not available with Visual Studio 2013

I've installed Visual Studio 2013 in my SharePoint 2010 environment. When I try to add the existing SharePoint Connections I've used in Visual Studio 2010 there is always the same error: Remote SharePoint site connections are not supported. The SharePoint
site is located at the same server, I'm able to access the Central Administration with Visual Studio 2013, but I can't access my development SharePoint Web Application.
I'm sure I do have access to the configuration database, in Visual Studio 2010 I'm able to delete and add SharePoint Connections without any problems. The URL of the development SharePoint connection (like sp1.sharepoint.contoso.com) is not named like
the URL of the Central Administration (like servername:5000). The port of my development SharePoint is 80, but I can't access with servername:80 too. My account is in the group of the local administrators, Visual Studio is started as Administrator
and my account is a SharePoint farm administrator and additionally a site collection administrator of all site collections in my SharePoint web application.
Any idea what's wrong with this SharePoint connections?
Thanks in advance. Georg

Can you try the following workaround and see if it helps? First try adding host entry for your server name and if that works change it to sp1.sharepoint.contoso.com.

2013 Visual Studio Project Error – “Cannot connect to the targeted site”
I understand your situation is different than the one mentioned in the blog but given you seem to have all the permission so may be you try and see if the error is because of above issue. Actually if above does not work (assuming your are on your development
environment), try adding your account to DB Owner on your site collection database as mentioned here.

Windows 7 with SharePoint 2013 Foundation and Visual Studio 2013

Hi,
I am begginer with Sharepoint 2013 Foundation.
My company installed Sharepoint 2013 Foundation on a virtual Server. I installed
Visual Studio 2013 on my local computer. Also i created a developer site.
Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220047(v=office.15).aspx#RDOverview I installed Office
Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on my local computer.
I am trying to remotely develop apps
with Visual Studio 2013. In the option What SharePoint site do you want to use for debugging your App? i put the url
of developer site.
First of all, i had to choose if the apps will be SharePoint-hosted or Provider-hosted apps. Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142379(v=office.15).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142381(v=office.15).aspx,
i decided to followed SharePoint-hosted because is the only type that applies to SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
I followed the steps of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142379(v=office.15).aspx, which is the quide for How to:Create a basic SharePoint-hosted app. In Step 10 for deploy my app i get the following error:
Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': Failed to install app for SharePoint. Please see the output window for details.
What is the problem?
Also, the visual studio need to be installed on the server where sharepoint was installed?
Moreover, do I need app catalog for testing and deploy apps?
thanks, Aphrodite

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about creating app.
Per my knowledge, the issue is caused that you don’t configure the app catalog URLs from the central administration.
It means that we should create an App site catalog site collection to hold our Apps.
