need help :(
PS:I would like to upload the picture of it but i can't since my account haven't get verified and i don't know how to verify it

Hello Jer_1998,
I'm not sure if it is a corrupt installation issue or some others. May I ask this questoin, have you be able to use Visual Studio before you get this error?
If you cannot use Visual Studio since it is your first time installation. I believe we need your full logs to troubleshoot this issue:
Please use http://aka.ms/vscollect
to gather the installation logs. 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.
If you can use VS before and suddenly get this kind of error, please either choose pvdg42's solution or use the following way to reset:
Please open an administrative CMD window and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE and run these commands:
1.devenv.exe /safemode
2.devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
3.devenv.exe /installvstemplates
4.devenv.exe /resetsettings
5.devenv.exe /resetuserdata

Please wait while windows configures microsoft visual studio professional 2013

After installing visual community 2013 and rebooting visual studio works fine but all other microsoft office programs display "please wait while windows configures microsoft visual studio professional 2013" and continues the installation for
about 1 minute before the program starts. I tried deleting mso.dll and reinstalling but it is still the same. Any help would be appreciated?

Hi iwallhead,
Then can your VS work fine? Anyway, please upload the installation log.
Use a tool named collect.exe to collect the log file. Download
collect.exeand
run it directly. The utility creates a compressed cabinet of all the VS and .NET logs to
%TEMP%\vslogs.cab. Please upload the
vslogs.cab file on onedrive.
I will help check if any install error exists.

Azure & Visual Studio Professional MSDN

Hi,
With a Visual Studio Professional MSDN subscription you can provision Visual Studio 2013 dev virtual machine(s). When selecting the MSDN option when creating a VM from the gallery gives several options with VST to choose from.
- Is a VST Pro MSDN subscriber eligible to choose from all options (even VST Ultimate)?
- How is pricing determined for an VST VM?
- When not selecting from the MSDN subscriber options but from the "normal" VST options (e.g. Win 2012 R2 with VST 2013 Community Edition Update 4) how is pricing determined?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you contact with azure support, it is a good choice for you, Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/
Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a support ticket for you

Can't install Visual Studio Professional 2013

Just got a new PC with a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I went to Dreamspark to download VS for my uni work, I got for Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 web installer.
Only problem is every time I try to install I get an error message:
Set Up Failed!
Visual Studio prerequisites Fatal error during installation
KB2829760LP User Cancelled installation
I've tried to install on the Administrator account, re-downloaded the installer, got the ISO... I also tried to uninstall DirectX SDK and the distro's that came with it as I remember having problems installing it together with VS last time, but that didn't
work here. Thought I should mention the SDK here as it was the only thing I had installed before Visual Studio.
Thanks in advance for any help, I have saved an installing log if anyone needs to see it.

Windows 7 and windows8.1 Azure VM which supports visual studio professional

I tried to find azure vm which supports Visual Studio professional.
without Windows Server 2012, there is no visual studio professional for windows 7 or windows 8.1.
if we want it, we should install it manually?

Dave - Thanks for the prompt response. I've built this application using MFC in Static Library, x86 configuration.
OK, that would eliminate the run-time DLLs.
I've not heard of Depends.exe but found and downloaded it. Ran it on both Win 7 and 8.1 with similar results shown some missing dlls (e.g.: API-MS-WIN-CORE-PRIVATEPROFILE-L1-1-1.DLL). I've never heard of these.
If they're the same on both, I wouldn't worry about them, it's
differences that would be relevant.
On the face of things, there's nothing immediately apparent that would
prevent your program from running, so is there any error reported
(message box, or event viewer) when you try to run your application on
Win8.1?
Have you tried debugging it on 8.1?
Dave

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional

Dear Sir/madam,
We have purchased a software 'Microsoft Visual Studio Professional' from a Vendor (Mumbai based).
we understood that this software do not have a feature or tool like Visual dBase or Visual Foxpro.
Now after enquiry with vendor we came to know that Microsoft has stopped this
Visual dBase or Visual Foxpro in Microsoft visual studio. We want to confirm this from you . Also is there any tool similar to visual dBase or Visual foxpro in
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional? if so pl let us know. Otherwise, we want to revert this purchase order. Pl let us know the procedure for the reversal of purchase order.

Hello Rui M_
Applications are different depending on the processor. For example, common windows desktop apps like WinForm and WPF are not supported on the above "arm processor". But store apps are supported on some kinds of tablets.For example, you may know
that Surface have Surface RT and Surface Pro. They are based on different processor, normal Windows Desktop applications does not support on Surface RT.

Trouble to download visual studio professional 2013

Hi!
I have just recently download the visual studio professional 2013. When I was trying to run that folder in Windows 8.1 laptop. Visual studio running process just come up on my screen for 2 second and disappear after that
process. I have tried manyy times with different types of visual studio. Can u help me to fix this problem? I really need help.

Hi,
It seems you install your VS by web installer. When you open the exe file, the installation process crashed.
You should follow up these steps to install Visual Studio again:
1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.
Look the links to get more information:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msdnforum/archive/2010/03/06/visual-studio-and-net-framework-installation-tips.aspx

Or you can install by ISO:
Please try download the content online or copy the content from your DVD to some folders from your disk, then try the installation again. And try to use the tool in below link to check your ISO checksum.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
If the error also occurs, please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. You will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to
https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

Problem Installing Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010 in my laptop ( OS: Windows 8.1 64bit )

hi staff of microsoft or anybody,
I have problem installation of VS pro in my laptop windows 8.1 (64bits) using web installer and offline unzipping iso. BTW i have VS 2013 installed in my computer at the moment. Before i
upgrade from windows 8.0 to 8.1 , i used to have VS PRO 2010 but after installing VS 2013 it was uninstall automatically,
I keep getting this popup of error: DDSet_Error: Internal error: 1009 ( while installing Visual Studio 2010 Professional ) . Could somebody tell me what is the solution because i need VS 2010 for my project. thanks in advance for anybody who could
provide me the solution , thanks a lot

Hello SuperWeb,
I have checked you logs and find something which may related to this issue:
1. WIN64DUALFOLDERS: Substitution in 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.vspGridControl.dll' folder had been blocked by the 1 mask argument (the folder pair's iSwapAttrib member = 0).
2. Assembly Install: Failing with hr=80070005 at RemoveDirectoryAndChildren, line 396
The folder substitution is blocked and the RemoveDirectoryAndChildren meet access denied in your setup. May I ask a few questions:
1. Do you have admin privilege and have you run your setup with admin
2. Do you have any ant-virus software installed on your OS which may blocked Visual Studio from installing?
I will recommend u refer to this blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-errors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx
You can then run a script to give all your folders and registries admin permissions. Let's see if you can install your setup after that.
By the way, the checksum can be checked by using this tool from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
However since I cannot download ISO from DreamSpark as I'm not a student, I cannot help you verify it. Please contact your vendor to know the exact ISO hash number. A good ISO is required before you start the install process.

Barry

Having trouble getting Visual Studio Professional 2008 to rec. Crystal 2008

I am used to the tricky business of installing Crystal Reports every time there is an new version. I did not have a problem getting VSS 2005 to recognize CRXI R2, and used the reportdocument object to develop web reports within my ASP.NET 2.0 applications.
In my current virtual server development environment, after uninstalling and reinstalling in various combinations, I still haven't got VSS 2008 Professional to recognize that it has upgraded dll's for Crystal Reports 2008.
In my opinion this Business Objects/SAP website for support has got to be the worst website I have ever encountered for trying to find the information that I need to support Visual Studio and Crystal Reports. Very frustrating.
Can anyone tell me what the sequence and/or trick is to get VSS professional 2008 to recognize the updated DLL's???
Thanks in advance....
SMA

Sorry. I'm not sure if you are actually working with CR 10.5 or CR 2008 (soundes like 10.5). But the latest SP (SP1) for CR 10.5 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351512008E/crbasic2008sp1.exe
and the latest SP (SP1 also) for CR 2008 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010503722008E/cr2008_sp1.exe
Now, remember if your reports are created in CR XI and you are running them with CR 10.5, you may run into issues as you're looking for a forward compatibility from CR 10.5. And there are a number of changes in CR XI that CR 10.x will have trouble resolving. Parameters for starters.

Trouble installing Visual Studio Professional

I have been trying to download and install a copy of Visual Studio that I got from DreamSpark. An .iso file was downloaded to my computer.
I tried to burn it to a DVD but it failed, probably because the file was too big. I was hoping to use multiple DVDs, but when I tried a second time it failed again.
I have a 8G flash drive, so I tried using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool but" when I select the file I get a dialog box with the following "The selected file is not a valid ISO file. Please select a valid ISO file and try
again." I tried changing the file extension from .iso to .ISO but that did not help.
Does anyone know what I need to do next?
Thanks

Hi Rick,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
I think that the pvdg42's suggestion is really useful for you, so please you try the pvdg42's suggestion to check your issue in your side.
In addition, I suggest you could also try to check if the .iso file is fine when you download it from the DreamSpark.
If the .iso file is fine, I think that the burn .iso file to a DVD issue, it is out of support range of this forum.

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 keeps crashing at random times

This has been occuring very frequently that the Visual Studio 2012 (4.5..51209) keep crashing during build or Publish. I also looked at the check box for Enable extended Transact-SQL verification as unchecked. This is happening more frequently.
Does anyone has any clue why this keep crashing?
Thanks

Hi Mubeen, please verify you have updated to the latest SQL Server database tooling bits
from the download page and see if this still occurs for you.
If this issues is reproduceable on the latest SSDT bits, I'd suggest capturing the event log for what is going wrong and then opening a connect
bug for this issue at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx and
use the category "Developer Tools(SSDT, BIDS, etc.)". We're trying to track all bugs through connect so that you can tell when we have fixed the issue and we can request
more information. Please include the event log (instructions on this below) plus any other useful information you can provide, such as an example of exact steps to reproduce the problem.
Gathering an Event Log for SSDT
For diagnostic purposes we would like you to gather an event log for the issue that you are experiencing in SSDT. In order to gather a log and send it to a member of
the team, please follow the steps below.
Open a new command prompt as Administrator.
Run the following command
logman create trace -n DacFxDebug -p "Microsoft-SQLServerDataTools" 0x800 -o "%LOCALAPPDATA%\DacFxDebug.etl" -ets
logman create trace -n SSDTDebug -p "Microsoft-SQLServerDataToolsVS" 0x800 -o "%LOCALAPPDATA%\SSDTDebug.etl" -ets
Run whatever the target/issue scenario is in SSDT.
Go back to the command prompt and run the following commands
logman stop DacFxDebug -ets
logman stop SSDTDebug -ets
The resulting ETL files will be located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\SSDTDebug.etl & %LOCALAPPDATA%\DacFxDebug.etl and can be navigated to using Windows Explorer.
Please attach this file when creating the connect bug
NOTE - These logs will only be used by Microsoft product team members in order to better diagnose the problem you are experiencing
with SSDT and will not be shared elsewhere. If you want to make sure that there is no private information in your ETL file, the SSDTDebug.etl file can be opened and analyzed using the Windows Event Viewer.
To do this, open the Windows Event Viewer application. In the right-hand panel, select Open Saved Log. Navigate to the location where you saved the log, open, and review
the contents of the trace.
Thanks,
Kevin

"Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional Stopped Working" When I'm Trying To Install

So for a college class we were given a link to a visual studio exe file. Visual Studio 2013 Professional Update 2.
When I try to run the exe file it just gives a black rectangle for a few seconds with the visual studio logo on it then stops and gives the message I showed in the thread title. and it also says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Can't uninstall Visual Studio 2013 Professional

I installed the trial for Visual Studio 2013 Professional. Now when i try to remove it I can't. When I click on VS2013 in Programs and Features and select "Change" I get an error that says "Microsoft Visual Studio Professional
2013 with Update 4 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." and a Debug and Close Program button. I have re-installed the
program and it still does the same thing. I can run VS2013 and I don't get any error when I open it.
Is there any other way of uninstalling the program?
Thanks!
Patti Neavin

Hello Patti Neavin,
Have you tried to download a standalone installer and run it to uninstall? The installer may leave something in your OS so that it can use it to uninstall your setup. I think that package may corrupt. So if you tried to use a standalone installer which is
alright, you may fix this problem.
You may also try a tool from here
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall?wa=wsignin1.0
The tool said it is applied for Visual Studio 2010, however I got threads that some customer can also fix related issues by using this tool.

Barry

Visual Studio takes long time to start up

When starting Visual Studio on my machine it used to take a few seconds to start up and be ready to either open or create a new project. Recently however I am finding that it is hanging - stuck on "Updating the News Channel" and "Connecting

Hi Sal_S,
>>Recently however I am finding that it is hanging - stuck on "Updating the News Channel" and "Connecting to " Visual studio Online. It remains unresponsive until these actions are completed.
What does "Updating the news Channel" mean? You mean that open the VS IDE, and then some links or videos showed in the start page.
Maybe you could change some settings in your VS IDE under TOOLS->Options.
As you said that the VS hanging when it connected to VSO, one idea is that you could post an issue to the VSO forum:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=TFService
In addition, for the performance issue, we would think about many elements.
For example, the machine configurations, run the VS for a long time(we often restart the VS), the temp files(clean them), or the add-ins or extension tools (you could disable them), the third party processes in your task manager which make the CPU is high
or others.
Best Regards,
Jack
