I'm using Visual Studio 2015 to work with Visual Studio 2010 C++ projects.
Those projects are not converted and need to stay true 2010 projects.
Compiling works as expected.
However, when I try to modify the project properties I only get Codeanalysis, everything else is missing.
See here:
In VS2010 it looks as expected:
Can reproduce that: every new c++ project I create in VS2010 does not show the properties in VS2015.
Ok, the problem is indeed due to language settings.
Settings with issue:
VS2010 german version
VS2015 english version
-> project properties missing
This fixed it:
VS2010 german version
VS2015 switched to german language
-> project properties there
Unfortunately it is not possible to change language in VS2010 without re-installing. And I don't want to stay with VS2015 in german language :(
UPDATE:
I reported that issue at microsoft and they just confirmed it. So this might be fixed in a future update

I ran into the rare situation that I have to use static libraries in a project which were compiled with Visual Studio 2005.
As I do not want to get into trouble at runtime as mentioned in this post or here,
I think it's reasonable to use the original toolset.
As far as I have seen, using toolsets down to VS2008 is straightforward. For VS2005 this seems to be more challenging, only Daffodil might be an option.
Is there any chance to get the toolset v80 (VS2005) into the dropdown menu of VS2019 ?
After playing around, I don't know exactly understand how daffodil works or how a feasible approach looks like.
Maybe one could create wrapper-DLLs with a plain C-API and the help of VS2005. Using one IDE with various toolsets feels advantageously to me.
Daffodil works only in earlier versions of Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015.
For using daffodils, check out the related thread: How to move old VC6 project to VS2010 using Daffodil.
To build your project in VS 2010:
Make sure the VC 6 build tools are installed and working. Make sure VS
2010 and Daffodil are installed and working. Open your VS 6 workspace
in VS 2010. A. In Explorer, right-click on your VS 6 workspace (*.dsw)
file. B. Choose Open With -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. C. Perform
the migration when prompted. Change the Platform Toolset to v60. A.
Right click on the project(s) and select Properties. B. On the General
page, set Platform Toolset to v60. Build.
I develop an application using Visual Studio 2015 + Qt VS Tools extension. For me it's first time I used Qt (version 5.14.1) in my project. Everything was working fine until something wrong happened.
I was asked to make release version of my application, it worked fine on Windows 10 and Windows 7 64-bit systems. Then I set the project configuration back to Debug x64 to continue my work. First strange thing I noticed - when I double-clicked on *.ui form files in my Solution Explorer, Visual Studio crashed and reloaded without any error, Qt Designer doesn't launch.
What I tried:
First I tried to open Qt Designer externally (from bin folder in Qt directory) and open my form - it worked.
I tried another project made in VS 2015 + Qt VS Tools Extension - same problem.
I tried to remove my Qt Version and re-add it. And here it comes: Error screenshot. It also occurs without using system enviroment variable $(QTDIR).
I reinstalled Qt to my PC (installed version 5.14.2 instead of 5.14.1), same error.
I reinstalled Visual Studio 2015, same error.
I tried to reset my Visual Studio settings and parameters to default, no results.
I installed Visual Studio 2019. The problem is still present.
UPD:
I cleared Visual Studio cache according to these instructions. It didn't work for me.
I removed every Visual C++ Redistributables from my PC and installed the latest version from Microsoft site. It also didn't work.
The error occurs even if no project is opened, so the problem is caused either by Visual Studio 2015, by Qt 5.14, or by Qt VS Tools extension.
P.S. Sorry if my english wasn't perfect. Waiting for any ideas on fixing this problem.
For any future readers who have this problem, start your maintenance tool or Qt installer, e.g. C:\Qt\MaintenanceTool.exe, "Add or remove components", and then make sure Qt/<version>/MSVC is installed, as shown in the image below:
.
Then you'll be able to select that Qt version instead of MinGW, since the Visual Studio extension only supports the MSVC compiler and not MinGW.
Encountered the exact same problem and the only solution I have found was reverting to an older version of the Qt Visual Studio Tools extension.
Visual Studio has been painfully persistent about updating the version even once I installed an older one, so make sure to disable automatic extension updates (Extensions → Manage Extensions → Extension Settings → Uncheck Automatically search for updates/Automatically update extensions).
Hope it helps.
To solve your problem, you need to remove the QTDIR and QMAKESPEC environment variables that remain in Windows after installing older versions of Qt.
Well, after some more procedures that didn't help, I just did clean-reinstallation for my Windows 10. Fortunately, that helped :)
I'm a student in Videogame Development, and just starting out looking at Unreal.
And no, none of my teachers know anything about this.
I have installed Unreal Engine 4.13 and Visual Studio Community 2013 now 2015.
I'm trying to make a C++ project using Unreal Engine (using blueprints is out of question so this didn't help)
Now, when I make a basic C++ project, Visual Studio shows the following error message:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- UE4, "C:\Users\Gebruiker\MEGA\Unreal\Disposable\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\UE4.vcxproj"
- Disposable, "C:\Users\Gebruiker\MEGA\Unreal\Disposable\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\Disposable.vcxproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- Engine, "Engine"
- Games, "Games"
- Disposable, "C:\Users\Gebruiker\MEGA\Unreal\Disposable\Disposable.sln"
Then my browser opens showing a Migration Report telling me that VS had an error with Project.vcxproj and UE4.vcxproj, although it copes with Engine, Games and Project.sln.
After this VS does show up without any further action, and it does automatically open *.h and *.cpp files for newly added classes in UE4.
Though it does edit and save these, it claims that all UE's code is wrong (with squiggles), and for compiling UE4 gives errors on pieces of code that apparently don't give errors on other's machines.
It would be much appreciated to be helped out, and I'm sure it would help others too who would have the same problem.
EDIT
A screenshot of the problem and configuration
EDIT 2
A screenshot of the Help -> About Visual Studio page, VS 2015 C++ highlighted
Starting with both the Unreal Engine Editor and Visual Studio closed, right click your .uproject file and select Generate Visual Studio project files, and then launch visual studio from the .sln file.
Once Visual Studio is open check your Solution Configuration is set to Development Editor. Then go to Debug > Start without Debugging (or Ctrl-F5). If everything compiles and the Editor opens again then you're good to go.
I uninstalled VS2013, installed VS2015 with all additional options checked, made a blank, new project with Unreal with just VS2015 on my pc, and now everything works fine.
Perhaps my VS2013 installation was broken, deprecated or switching version wasn't a good idea, but I can work with VS in any case now.
Also thanks to jeevcat for mentioning it!
Install newer version of the Visual Studio. VS2013 is not the latest one, VS2015 is. People report that even updating VS2013 from Update 2 to Update 4 helps resolving similar issues.
I'm trying to run OpenCV with Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. It seems I have to compile the code (using the OpenCV libraries) as a x64 application. This is fine. I installed the Windows SDK 7.1 that allows you to do this. So now I go to the dropdown menu, configuration manager and select x64 (copying from Win32). But here I run into a problem. I can't seem to edit the properties in this configuration.
If I change back to Win32 and go to project properties I have all the usual options (Configuration Properties -> General, Debugging, VC++ Directories etc.). But in x64 all I have is a practically blank window that has the Common Properties->Framework and References menus. I can't modify anything.
If I try adding a new property sheet in the Property Manger to Debug|x64, I can name and add it, but when I click on it says "There are no property pages for the selection".
I have searched every possible relevant forum for this! Maybe I'm just using the wrong search terms, but I can't seem to find anyone with this exact problem. Am I just missing something about using properties? Or is this a bug?
Thanks!
Visual C++ compilers are removed when you upgrade Visual Studio 2010 Professional or Visual Studio 2010 Express to Visual Studio 2010 SP1 if Windows SDK v7.1 is installed. For anyone else who has come across this problem I would recommend updating Visual Studio 2010 SP1 via the below link.

Well, even I faced a problem something similar to this in the start, I am not sure, whether my approach would solve your problem, but, let me give it a try.
After making it x64 as explained in your first step, just click on "ok" and close that window, now, select your project or right click on it, you ll find project properties at the bottom, then use it, you ll find all the available options you need.
when you say, you are seeing "common properties" which means that, you are trying to access the properties of solution not the project, so, select the project before accessing its properties.
your approach of adding a property sheet must work well, go to property manager ->right click on debug/64-> add new property sheet -> name it, save it, you must access it from the next go.
Just to let anyone know who might be having the same problem, I didn't manage to fix it but I did find a work-around. The latest version of OpenCV (2.4.8 I think) would not compile as a 32 bit application. It gave me an error which apparently means there is a conflict because I have a 64 bit OS. As I stated above, I couldn't get the x64 configuration working correctly. My work-around was to use an older version of OpenCV (2.4.6) and this works fine as a 32 bit application. It has the same functionality. The official OpenCV website has a list of previous versions. Now I have it all working fine!
So Microsoft released a trial version of Visual Studio 11 Ultimate Developer Preview. I decided to try out the static code analysis feature.
I successfully updated my solution to 2011 and get my project file to build.
However when I try to run the 'Run Code Analysis For Solution' it then proceeds to simply build the solution/project but display no output in the code analysis window (even if I've hacked the code to make sure it should show some errors).
I did have Visual Studio 2010 previously installed and I wonder if that's affecting it?
Any help or anyone ran into similar issue?
*EDIT:
I made a sample project and in it the code analysis works... I'm not sure what I'm missing from my old migrated project to enable it. (I've done the obvious and enabled Static Analysis in the configuration properties menu)
First check which build toolset do you use.
For upgraded project it is Visual Studio 2010 by default.
However when I did similar exercise with my project it didn't compile after switching to VC11 compiler - there were some issues with include paths I had to resolve.
