Visual Studio Express will not install

Hi, I am trying to install Visual Studio Express for Windows and as far as I can tell my system meets all the criteria however when I try to install it says I need to update windows to a newer version. 
I am running Windows 7 XP 64bit Service Pack 1 and IE 11
The end of the install log gives the below, what am I missing? :

Hello Mike,
Can you clarify the OS version first? What is Windows 7 XP 64bit Service Pack 1? It is Win 7 or Win XP?
Condition '(VersionNT = v6.3) AND (WindowsBuildNumber < 9600)' evaluates to false
Condition 'VersionNT < v6.3' evaluates to true
I checked here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT to see those NT versions and find that v6.3 means Win 8 version.
So please notice that " Visual Studio Express for Windows " is for Store Apps and Phone Apps, they required Win 8 or higher version OS. Win 7 or Win XP does not meet the requirements for this kind of VS.
If you just want to develop normal version, please choose to use Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop.
Best regards,
Barry

  • Air Port Express Will Not Install

    I just installed OS X 10.5 on a new Mac Book Pro. When I try to install AirPort Express on my hard drive (unpartitioned) it says: "You cannot install AirPort on this volume. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported". What do I do?

    diznory, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Forget about the software on the disc. Use the AirPort software in the /Applications/Utilities directory on your MacBook Pro.

  • Application Express will not install

    OK - I have been working on this for days now. I downloaded Oracle Database 11g and installed the "standard" version. All seems to be working OK and I can connect to the DB using SYS as SYSDBA.
    Next, downloaded Apex 3.2 and unzipped it into a separate directory (C:\TEMP\APEX). Tried to run through the installation instructions for Apex but continually can't get passed the @apexins section. I run SQL*Plus, log in as SYS as SYSDBA, and run @c:\temp\apex\apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/ per the instructions. The SQL*Plus window flashes some messages then closes. The user APEX_030200 is not created (FLOWS_FILES and APEX_PUBLIC_USER already exist because 11g comes with earlier version of Apex). Can't continue from here - can't set the ADMIN password as the @apxchpwd script errors out with:
    ...changing password for ADMIN
    wwv_flow_security.g_security_group_id := 10;
    ERROR at line 3:
    ORA-06550: line 3, column 5:
    PLS-00201: identifier 'WWV_FLOW_SECURITY.G_SECURITY_GROUP_ID' must be declared
    ORA-06550: line 3, column 5:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    etc.
    I also tried copying the whole "apex" directory from c:\temp over the "apex" directory in the 11g directory structure and running the install. Same results.
    Can anyone help please??

    On Windows:
    1. Click on the Start button and then click Run
    2. Change to directory where you unzipped the Apex. E.g. c:\apex
    3. Then execute:
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba
    type the password
    4. Select the appropriate instalation:
    Example:
    @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
    5. When you to run the apex_epg_config.sql ensure this:
    On Windows:
    @apex_epg_config SYSTEM_DRIVE:\TEMP
    Replace SYSTEM_DRIVE:\TEMP by C:
    Then result is:
    @apex_epg_config C:

  • Just installed Visual Studio express 2013. Start menu folder empty.

    I just installed Visual Studio express 2013 For desktop.  On to my windows 7, 64 bit laptop.
    After it installs it asks you if you would like to launch the program.  So I clicked launch.  And it never launched.
    Furthermore when I go Into my start menu.  I find why the Visual Studio 2013 folder.
    And it's empty.
    So I went ahead and tried to reinstall Visual Studio express 2013.
    After I reinstalled it I had to restart my computer.  I have done that.  And my start menu folder is still empty.
    I have no way of finding the executable file for Visual Studio express 2013.
    And if I could I'm not confident that it would launch.
    I decided maybe I should uninstalled completely and reinstall it.
    I went to control panel>uninstall a program.
    I selected Microsoft Visual Studio express 2013.
    And then I selected uninstall.
    a window pops up that says.  " Microsoft Visual Studio express 2013 for windows desktop has stopped working.   A problem caused the program to stop working correctly .  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.".
    so I can't fully uninstall the program.  And reinstalling the program doesn't help.
    why is this happening. What do I do. How do I fix this?

    Hi HAL9090,
    >>I find why the Visual Studio 2013 folder. And it's empty. And my start menu folder is still empty.
    Do you mean that you can't find VS2013 in the start menu? Please click "All Programs" in the start menu to see if you can find it.
    If you still can't find it, could you please tell us how you install it? From the web installer or by the downloaded setup file? If you have the ISO image, I suggest you verify its checksum. Perhaps you need to re-download one. If you have no one, please
    download it from
    Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 with Update 4 for Windows Desktop - English
    DVD5 ISO image
    The correct checksum is
    4AE40D10B303C034F6D6230CE21F0295E5CD708C
    You can download the
    fciv.exe tool to verify the checksum.
    Once it matches the correct one, please make sure that your windows is patched up and disable the anti-virus software. At last, install VS.
    What's more, it seems that you can't uninstall VS2013. If you want to uninstall it, you can use the setup file to uninstall it. Please double click it to open it, then you can choose to uninstall it in the pop up dialog.

    I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

  • Logic Express 9 will not install.

    Hi all,
    I just bought a Macbook Pro 17" with Logic Express 9 and the program will not install and comes up with with "Errors where detected and installation has stopped. Contact the manufacture." It would get through to about 20 - 30% when it fails.
    I have updated my mac with all the latest updates and I have only installed Adobe CS3 Master collection. CS3 did not install with succsses either and Encore failed to install. To be honest CS3 I have found never installs like it should so that does not seem out of the norm (Although it should be Adobe).

    Hi There.
    Did you manage to get this sorted? I have just bought a brand new Mac myself and cannot install Logic Express 8!
    I have limited connectivity to the internet and don't know what to do.
    If yo sorted the problem, would be great to know how you did it!
    Cheers

  • How to prevent "Sign in" dialog on first launch of Visual Studio Express 2013?

    I am installing Visual Studio Express 2013. When I launch application shortcut for first time, It shows "sign in" window, which I want to hide for the users. This window also overrides all my settings (e.g. disabled "automatic check for
    updates"). Is there any way to prevent this dialog from appearing?

    Hi,
    >>I was looking for file or registry settings to suppress this dialog
    As far as I know, there is no way to realize this. It is by design. Since the users will sign in later, why need to suppress the dialog. What's more, this is an express edition, so you can't find any third-party add-in to help hide the dialog because Visual
    Studio Express doesn't support third-party add-ins. The only way you want the dialog not showing is to click "cancel" button the first time the dialog pop up. After that, you still can sign in if you want to. Click "Help", choose "register product", then
    you can sign in the appearing dialog.

    It maybe a registry or administrator issue.
    Please install VS with administrator.
    What's more, it maybe a corrupt registry issue. And you can't install any version of Visual Studio, I think you can use the tool to fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled. It also can fix the corrupted registry keys.

  • How do I create a view in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop?

    Hi
    I've got a SQL Server database set up using the internal SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop. I want to create a view (using tables with one to many relationships) but I don't
    know how to do it.
    Where can I find a good tutorial on creating views in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop? I think Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop doesn't have some view designer that
    exists in the non-express version of Visual Studio (if I'm not mistaken). So I think I'd need a tutorial on how to do the actual SQL, unless there is some tool I don't know about.
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    According to your description, if you install SQL Server SQL Server 2014 Express and SQL Server Manager Studio tools (SSMS), if you want to create a view, you can use SSMS. Then if you want to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio
    2013, you can attach the database file by using the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server in Visual Studio, and create a database diagram via expanding the “Database Diagrams” node.
     For more information, there is similar issue about how to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio 2012 , you can review the following article,

  • Editing pages created using dreamweaver with microsoft's visual studio express

    Here's a quick, somewhat vague, question for anyone who might have an answer. Is there a trick to editing pages created using dreamweaver with Microsoft Visual Studio Express? The reason I ask is I recently finished a web site for my first client who now wants to make edits herself using the program she uses, that being Microsoft. I thought it would be as easy as pulling the html files from the server (or the usb flash drive i gave her), making changes and then putting them back to the server, but apparently she is having some problems. I'm meeting with her soon. I have no experience with any other programs, other than Adobe, so I don't know how much good I'll be in helping her. Maybe it's an easy question, maybe not. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

    Dreamweaver template commands are all wrapped in HTML comments, so they
    shouldn't cause any problems. They should simply be treated as comments.
    However, the concept of editable and locked regions will be ignored.
    Hi David, I meant the templates with the dwt extension, not the html files that are created from them. The full version of VS will recognize the dwt extension as 'Dynamic Web Template' but as this is a microsoft extension it does not recognize the code for editing and shows a large number of errors, (before anyone comments the dwt file extension is used by a number of other programs, all referring to a different file type).

  • Connecting BI Web Server with SQL Server Express / Visual Studio Express for Report Development

    Hi,
    My company is using the Report Builder 3.0 to build the BI Reports ( I guess based on SQL Server 2008 R2). Our software vendor has provided us the web URL to access the BI Server. I want to generate the BI Reports with SQL Server Express or  Visual
    Studio Express instead of Report Builder 3.0. Need some guidance in this regard.
    regards, BI.Developer.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, if we want to open the report from report server to Business Intelligence Development Studio, we should download the report from report manager, then add this item in Business Intelligence Development Studio. For more details, please
    see the following steps:
    Type the URL in IE browser to access the repot manager.
    Browse to the RDL file folder or location.
    Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow near the RDL file.
    Click on download button, the download window will pop up now. Then save the rdl file.
    Click Manage option in the drop-down list, make a note of its Data Source Connection string.
    Create a Report Server Project in Business Intelligence Development Studio.
    Right-click the Reports folder to open the Add Existing Item dialog box, navigate to the location where you saved the .rdl file for the report, and then click Add.
    Right-click the Data Source to verify the connection string is correct.
    Besides, please make sure that software vendor had assigned ‘View reports’, ’Manage reports’, ‘Manage folder’ and ‘Manage data sources’ tasks for your account, so that you can download the report and view the data source.
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,
