Visual Studio "15" was released on the 30th March.
Can Visual Studio "15" preview be safely installed along side Visual Studio 2015?
The news article doesn't seem to say one way or another and everything I hit on google only talks about 2015, not "15".
#NikolaiDante, yes you can install Visual Studio "15" Preview alongside Visual Studio 2015. I have installed Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio "15" preview and both are working fine.
Even though you can see in the screenshot That I am Using 4 Versions of Visual Studio (Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2015, and Visual Studio "15") and all 4 version are working fine.

I upgraded C++ projects from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2015, but it's still showing (Visual Studio 2010) in the Solution Explorer.
Please inform me if there is any change I need to do to solve this error.
This is displayed in the Solution Explorer:
This is not an error, it simply means that the project is using the toolkit that came with Visual Studio 2010. This doesn't prevent your projects from being compiled however.
To upgrade the project to the Visual Studio 2015 toolkit right click on the projects showing (Visual Studio 2010) and select the desired toolkit under General->Platform Toolset.
How can I install MSVC 2012 compiler having only Visual Studio 2017?
I tried installing from this link, but it is issuing an error:
0x81f40001 - A valid Visual Studio installation was not found.
I need MSVC 2012 due to compatibility with a lib we are using.
As of July 10th 2017, Visual Studio 2012 is no longer available for download without an MSDN subscription. If you install VS2012, you can choose the "Visual Studio 2012 (v110)" on Visual Studio 2012/2017 from [Project] - [Properties] - [General] - [Platform Toolset]. Make sure you select your C++ project first.
I'm not able to install sitecore rocks in my VS Express 2013. Im getting the error "This extension is not able install on my currently installed products"
I downloaded the file from this link
Check the supported versions of VS:
http://vsplugins.sitecore.net/Supported-Visual-Studio-Versions.ashx
Sitecore Rocks only works with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013 (and maybe later versions).
Only Visual Studio Premium, Proffesional and Ultimation editions are supported.
Visual Studio Express is not supported.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 community and created C++ project.
I want to share the project with a colleague working with Visual Studio 2012 professional.
Once he took the project he had to change the toolset to v110 and it worked just fine for him.
When he shared it back with me I got the message:
error MSB8020: The build tools for Visual Studio 2012 (Platform Toolset = 'v110') cannot be found.
To build using the v110 build tools, please install Visual Studio 2012 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 "Upgrade Solution...".
I do not want to upgrade the solution, as that will cause us each time to change the project, but I couldn't find anywhere to download the VS2012 build tools.
Where can I find Visual Studio 2012 build tools?
You can have both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013 installed on the same machine. Once you have both installed you can use the Visual Studio 2012 compiler in Visual Studio 2013.
So I suggest you install Visual Studio 2012. I think Express edition should be enough.
Alternatively, your colleague can install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition alongside his existing Visual Studio 2012 Professional Edition. I think the features are roughly equivalent the only question is if they are breaking the license terms.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 first and then Intel Parallel Studio 2015 afterwards.
The options for Intel parallel studio was showing in the Visual Studio 2013(right click project in VS 2013).
I had problems with Visual studio 2013 and Intel C++ compiler integration,
since VS 2013 is not officially supported by Intel C++ 2015.
I have uninstalled VS 2013.
Now I installed Visual Studio 2012 and I find no Intel parallel studio options in the project right click menu in Visual Studio 2012.
Should I uninstall and reinstall Intel Parallel studio 2015 to get it detected by VS 2012.
Or any methods are there to detect Intel parallel studio 2015 by VS 2012.
Intel C++ 2015 include only x64 version, so
in the project property, change the Platform to x64, then General->Platform ToolSet to Intel C++ Compiler XE 15.0
You should reinstall Intel Parallel studio as the installer will configure the necesary modules for Visual Studio 2012 if it is available at the time.
