Visual Studio Pro 2014 w/Update 4

I have an active Action Pack subscription as Application Design and Development. With the subscription I am entitled download of VS Pro 2013. I have an active sign in to the MS Partner Site and related Action Pack software downloads. I
am also activated on the MSDN download site, with an active subscriber ID. When attempting to download VS, I am unable to complete the download, presented with an HTTP error, something related to Akamai Downloads, indicating a "Save As"
dialog box will appear, yet it does not. When the below message appears, it then quickly resolves to an HTTP 403 error, indicating I need to sign in. To get to the respective download area, I did sign in. As per the Akamai FAQ, the active
X module does not install itself or present and option to authorize its download and installation.
I arrived at this location on the direction of a MS Partner/Action Pack Forum member/moderator.
I would request assistance on how to complete the download.
Thank you.
Akamai Downloads: In moments, a "Save As" dialog box will appear. You can select the default location or choose a different location to store your downloaded files. Click the "Save" button. The Download Manager console
will open and you will have the option to Pause, Stop, or Cancel your downloads, or see file details and download progress.
If you have not already installed the ActiveX control, an information bar will appear in your Internet browser prompting you to install the ActiveX control.
If the Download Manager cannot install the ActiveX control in your browser, you may have system restrictions.

Hello,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage issue of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Now you got problems when you downloaded software from Action Pack software downloads. MS Action Pack's official support here:

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.

Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.sfc version 11.0.0.0 on Visual Studio Ultimate 2014 Update 4

I am getting the infamous "Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.sfc version 11.0.0.0." The set up of my system is Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate update 4 and my SQL server is 12.0.2000 Express. I am also using SQL
management studio 2014. I read other comments and blogs, and reinstalled the SQL Express 12.0.2000, but no luck yet.

Hi payam49er,
>>I am
getting the infamous "Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.
sfc version 11.0.0.0."
Based on your error, could you please tell me what you do operation and then you get the error message?
Could you please tell me if you add a data connection from Server Explorer Window in Visual studio 2013 Ultimate update
4 and then you get the error message?
If yes, to check if the issue is related to the VS IDE issue, I suggest you can execute the following commands to check if it can
help you add data connection in VS2013 Ultimate Update 4.
(1)I suggest you can run your VS in safe mode by executing Devenv.exe /SafeMode to add a data connect again.
(2)I suggest you can use the Devenv.exe /ResetSettings to restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to the specified
VSSettings file.
(3)You can execute the Devenv.exe /ResetAddin to remove commands and command UI associated with the specified Add-in.
In addition, if you used the SQL Server Express to connect the data in VS, you need to specify the server name
as MyComputerName\SQLEXPRESS. If you used the SQL Server to connect the data in VS. Please you try to specify the server name as MyComputerName\InstanceName here to check the result.
If still no help, according the error, it indicates that the problem is that the system cannot locate the right assembly (SQL
Server SDK). So I think you may get better response and solutions if you consult on SQL Server forums.
Thank you for your understanding.

AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF fails with MS Visual Studio Pro 2013

Hello.
I'm using MS Visual Studio Professional 2013 (Version 12.0.30501.00 Update 2) and MS .NET Framework Version 4.5.50938. I also have installed in my system (Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1) the Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.07.
Before 3 months I have created a Windows Form Application with VS2013 and I've used the ActiveX tool "AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF". Everything was working normally.
I left this app for some time because of other obligations.
Now I've started using again my application and I get an error from VS2013 regarding the ActiveX control of AdobePDF in my app. The error I get is "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component". I have re-installed three times Adobe Reader XI and I still get the same error.
Why VS cannot detect the COM component of Adobe reader?
I have the respective reference (Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0) added to my project and the tool (Adobe PDF Reader @C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll) added to my toolbox and when i try to add the tool again to my form I get the following error: "Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): A wrapper assembly is not registered for this type library....". This is just a part of the error.
AcroPDF.dll was last modified on 08/05/2014. So i suppose its a new version.
Can you please give me a solution?
Thank you in advance.
Message was edited by: John Lolas

It's probably related to this KB that got posted after 11.0.07 shipped.
PDF applications built with VB6 don't work with Acrobat 11.0.07
Note the designation of the CPU building and the web application piece about calling the ActiveX control directly.

Updating In-Flight SharePoint 2013 Workflows (Visual Studio)

Is there any guidance on the best strategy for upgrading in-flight SharePoint 2013 Workflows? I am currently developing a SharePoint 2013 Workflow using Visual Studio 2012. The workflow has 6 phases and may take up to a month to complete.
I need a plan for when I will inevitably need to make a change to the workflow.
I am concerned that simply deploying a new version of a WSP with new XAML might cause a breaking change to in-flight workflows. This was a major problem in 2007/2010, and in the past I have created a new version of the workflow when deploying a change.
SharePoint 2013 designer workflows automatically create a new version when published, but unfortunately with Visual Studio workflows this is not the case. Updating the WSP and reactivating the feature will force new workflow code to run, but I think
this could cause issues when the workflow state data is de-serialized.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update in-flight SharePoint visual studio workflow.
To update the in-flight workflow, such as in the production environment, we can do the steps as below(Make sure you test this first on a DEV server).
Updated the solution (Update-SPSolution)
Disabled the feature(Disable-SPFeature)
Enabled the feature again (Enable-SPFeature)
Then the existing workflow would use the old version workflow, the new workflow instances would use the new version workflow definition.

Connecting Visual Studio 2008 to Team Foundation Server 2012/2013

I currently have many projects in VS 2008.
We are able to build and deliver all of the products to the production servers.
I want to connect VS2008 to VisualStudio.com so I can create an environment for Beta Testing with VisualStudio.com and Azure.
I have started from scratch:
Build a VMWare Virtual Machine - Windows 7 Ultimate
Added all of the Windows Updates
I installed Visual Studio 2008 - Professional
I updated Visual Studio 2008 to SP1
I have installed VS2008 Team Explorer
Unable to install GDR2 - with message "Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your system. '
I attempted to follow the "more information" instructions but there were no previous version to uninstall.
I attempted to login to Team Foundation Server (https://nnnnnn.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection) and receive the "TF31002: Unable to connect to ....
I am able to login to the visualstudio.com site without any issue.
I have been working on this for days and no matter what I have read and tried, I cannot seem to get past this point.
I tried using a laptop I have and did the same steps as above with the same results.
It is obvious I am missing a step or that this process is longer possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Is there a "support" number that might help me resolve this?

How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

What are the requirements in terms of system drive for visual studio 2013

According to this thread "visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2120283-allow-users-to-install-entirely-to-another-hard-dr" it is not possible to install visual studio fully on another drive rather that
the system drive. This link "visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-professional-with-msdn-vs#Fragment_SystemRequirements" states the system requirement for visual studio pro 2013. However can somebody clarify what is needed in terms of system drive
requirement e.g. out of the 20 gb, how much is needed on the system drive.
Thanks

Hi,
Exact space required will vary widely based on installation components chosen and what you may have already installed on your system.
And When you install your VS in another Drive and run the VS installer, you can see system requirement in installation screen.
Because my work computer only have C Drive, I test the VS2012 professional installation in my home computer E drive. The Screen below:
I think the system requirement can also display when you install VS 2013.

Is there is a way to export the themes from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro?

OK...so here's what I'm trying to find out: is there is a way to export the themes from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro? Or can I build the project in DVDSTPRO and import it to iDVD to build and burn?
I've read several threads here and haven't come across my specific question. If I missed it, please copy me a link. Otherwise, I'd like to use the templates/themes in iDVD with my FCP project.
I was thinking about importing the project from FCP to iDVD. Then, I thought about the markers etc....
So, if anyone had an idea, tip or link, I'm all for it!
Thanks!

Importing iDVD Projects and Themes
DVD Studio Pro 4 can import projects from iDVD 3 and iDVD 4. You can import an iDVD theme by using the theme in a project within iDVD and importing the project into DVD Studio Pro. When creating the project within iDVD, you do not need to use the final assets or make a complete project.
Note: DVD Studio Pro will not import projects from iDVD 1, iDVD 2, and iDVD 5. In general, iDVD needs to be installed on the same system as DVD Studio Pro. An exception is if you import an iDVD 4 archive project.
To import an iDVD project or archived project into DVD Studio Pro:
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Open.
• Press Command-O.
2 Locate and select the iDVD project or iDVD 4 archive project in the Open dialog, then click Open.
DVD Studio Pro imports the iDVD project.
About the iDVD Project Import
When DVD Studio Pro imports an iDVD 3 or iDVD 4 project or iDVD 4 archive project, it has standard locations it looks for to find the assets and themes used in the project. This is especially important if the project uses custom themes.
The standard locations that DVD Studio Pro uses are (in this order):
• iDVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
• [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
• [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
• /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as having a server networked into your computer.)
• iDVD application bundle: This is the iDVD application file that contains the default theme elements.
Note: When you create an archive project in iDVD 4, you can choose to include the themes and encoded files. For the best portability, you should include both options. This results in a larger archive file, but ensures you can take the file to any DVD Studio Pro system and import it without missing assets. If you do not choose to include the themes and encoded files in the archive file, those assets must be available in one of the standard locations.
If your project will have automatically-created chapter index (scene selection) menus based on markers embedded in the video, it can be easier to create these within iDVD prior to importing the project into DVD Studio Pro. This ensures the chapter index menus use the selected theme’s background and include arrow buttons to navigate between the menus.
Important: To ensure all iDVD menu elements import correctly into DVD Studio Pro, you must navigate to each chapter index menu within iDVD before saving the project. This is also true for any menus you add to your iDVD project by clicking the Folder button.
Issues With Importing iDVD Projects
There are some issues to be aware of when you import iDVD projects:
• If you import an iDVD project with DVD-ROM content, DVD Studio Pro does not update the settings in the Disc Inspector’s General tab to reflect the DVD-ROM content. You must manually select the DVD-ROM layout and choose the folder to include.
• When you create a slideshow in iDVD, you can add arrow buttons to each still to provide viewers with an additional method of jumping to the previous and next stills. These arrow buttons are not imported when you import an iDVD project into DVD Studio Pro. The viewer must use the Previous and Next buttons on the DVD player’s remote control to jump between stills.
• The button highlights used in iDVD may look different when imported into DVD Studio Pro. In most cases, the text in the buttons is set to be included in the highlight. Additionally, buttons that use an underline in iDVD will not have an underline when imported into DVD Studio Pro.
• When you import an iDVD project, you may find that the button that is highlighted by default on some menus changes. During the project import, DVD Studio Pro numbers the buttons on each menu and highlights button 1 by default. You can assign any button on a menu to be the default button in the Menu tab in the Menu Inspector.
• If you import an iDVD project that contains a drop zone configured as a slideshow and has multiple slides assigned to it, DVD Studio Pro only shows the slideshow’s first slide in the drop zone.

VISUAL STUDIO ONLINE Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed.

Can anyone explain why I've suddenly started getting this error on one file in my projects?
Visual Studio is 2013 Premium Update 4
The file that's failing ins 14,140KB in size.

Hi s6521d,
For this problem, you can try the following methods to check if the issue can be resolved. And elaborate more details if the issue still exist.
1. Do a get latest and then have a check if your team project works fine
2. Clean team foundation cache and sign out your credentials then reconnect to the team project
3. Have a try on other machines to see if it only occurs on your environment
4. Confrm whether the workspace you're using is server workspace and the file is locked. If yes, unlock the file. If the file was changed, you can also revert to a former changeset to check if the error still exist
5. Check event logs to see if there any useful information

Hi Soundersrule,
I wonder if you are developing a Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 8.1 app and what Windows OS that you are using.
In my mind, maybe you need to repair your Visual Studio or try to upgrade your Visual Studio to the latest update to see if it works.
Besides, the following one is a similar thread, please try to check it:
