When I install fortify, I see options only for VS2015 plugin or older. Just to be sure - is a VS2017 plugin available as of now, or no? My version is HPE_Security_Fortify_SCA_and_Apps_16.20_windows_x64.exe, maybe there is a newer version, I don't know.
The Visual Studio 2017 Plugin is planned for the next release (17.20), which is coming out soon.
I have never used the plug in but in the visual studio gallery it says it supports visual studio 2017

I need compile my C++ project with old compiler verison. I saw, that is possibly to add to new visual studio old compiler. I try to download and install some build kit and remote utility for VS 2020 (ver v110), but nothing changed. I expect in properties - platform toolset - new line - v110, but nothing happen.
What I shloud to download and install and what to do?
You could install VS2012 platform toolset. In fact, you don't need to uninstall the redistributables. It's just that there may be installation errors．Also, if you unstall them, you could re-install them in Microsoft Downloads.
Then, you could change v110 in properties -> platform toolset.
For the previous version of VS2012, you can go to download it on daffodil website.
You need to install the old Visual Studio 2012 to use the compiler in a newer Visual Studio (e.g. 2017). Therefore uninstall the redistributables ("Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable") to avoid errors.
Then you have to install the old Visual Studio 2012 and it's updates if required.
Afterward you will probably have to "repair" the newer Visual Studio Installations.

Windows Driver Kit is not currently supported by visual studio 2017.
I tried installing the Windows Driver Kit, but the test driver projects, such as this one, fail to build
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/serial/VirtualSerial
I get this error when building:
Error MSB8020 The build tools for WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsUserModeDriver10.0') cannot be found. To build using the WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools, please install WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".
I already tried retargeting the Solution to the two options I have: 10.0.17134.0 and 8.1, but the same error keeps coming up.
What do I need to do to build this sample driver? Do I need to install VS2015? VS2017 community edition? Why isn't this WDK supported by the Visual Studio 2017 professional version?
Thanks,
Visual Studio 2017 definitely supports kernel-mode device driver development; there's no doubt about that because I've been using VS17 for it for many, many months.
Use the latest version of Windows Driver Kit (WDK) which can be downloaded and installed from MSDN: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk
Furthermore, you can always use the Enterprise WDK and then you can simply build using that if you wanted to from command-line. (Also can be found on page linked-to above)
Download the correct WDK installer for your edition of Visual Studio 2017:
WDK for Windows 10, version 1809 for Visual Studio Community 2017
WDK for Windows 10, version 1803 for Visual Studio Professional 2017
WDK for Windows 10, version 1709 for Visual Studio Enterprise 2017
Visit https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/other-wdk-downloads for more information.
Not exactly a solution, but Windows 8.1 WDK works with Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise,
Download it from here, just need to retarget the project to 8.1

In addition, I needed to get VS2015 C++ Build Tool to fix a missing Microsoft.cpp.props error

Developing drivers to windows is quite interesting one will be exposed to advanced Operating System Concepts.The set up for the environment will be IDE
IDE - Visual Studio (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=16)
Compilers (WDK)
Debugger (WDK)
WDK contains both(https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2085767). Latest Visual Studio(VS2019) will come along with the latest WDK(10, 1903 as of now).
Sometimes plugins might not work properly i.e integration issues between Visual Studio and WDk.
By going to the location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Vsix\VS2019" and run VSIX installer.
Now in a new project, driver related templates are available.
In Visual Studio 2017 the IntelliSense menu is missing the Object Description, the Comments, and the Exceptions as per the following
If I do the same in Visual Studio 2015, then I see it.
I have checked the Settings, but nothing found to change that my C# works fine as VS2015.
After I have opened an older Project with VS2017 that was build on .net 4.5.2 and the IntelliSense with all XML Comments works, I installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 Developer Pack und Language Packs and the Problem was fixed.
So my Problem was that the Developer Pack for .Net 4.6.2 was not installed on my machine, only the Redistributable Package was installed.
I hope this answer can help other people with the same mistake.
So I am in college and by this fact I have an opportunity to have a Resharper for free. Currently I write in C++, so I downloaded a Resharper for C++ and I've tried to install it. I've got three different VS versions:
Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise
Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Desktop
Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Desktop
When I try to install Resharper I only see the option to install it to VS 2015. Is there no option to install it on 2012/2013 version? (I got Desktop version, cuz they are a lot of lighter and faster on my laptop)
Assuming that 2012 and 2013 versions are the Express editions (which is implied from the names), then ReSharper won't work as these versions don't support extensions and plugins.
You need the full versions of Visual Studio to get this functionality.
As an aside, I'm not sure why you need to install three versions of Visual Studio. Won't the latest version do?
I would like to install latest version of Qt (5.5) on Windows 7 for C/C++ application development, and have a few questions:
Can I use Microsoft "Visual Studio Community" edition (2015) as the compiler?
I assume I need to install Visual studio first and then Qt?
I am going to install Qt from here, after downloading and installation do I need to build Qt? Or it is ready to go?
Is there a tutorial that explains all the required steps in details. I have done Google search and found bits and pieces here and there not not a good complete step-by-step reference.
Thanks for the help.
You need the compiler, which is integrated in visual studio. I don't think you can get the newer ones without Visual Studio (From official sources). However, you can use Qt on windows without msvc. You can build with the minGw compiler - but I personally like msvc more.
Regarding VS2015: It won't work without extra configuration. Qt 5.5 supports msvc2013 only (the next release, 5.6, will support the msvc2015 compiler). But Visual Studio 2013 will work. The order of installation doesn't matter.
After you installed Qt, all you need to do is launch Qt-Creator and start coding ;) If you wan't to use Visual Studio instead, there is a Plugin on the bottom of the download page ("Other downloads"). Visual Studio 2015 isn't supported here too, but 2013 is.
