All my C++ Visual Studio 2012 projects cannot be upgraded by VS 2013 Professional Update 2, microsoft tells that you also need to have VS2012 installed in order to open VS 2012 projects.
The problem is that I have installed VS2012 and still get the same error.
after each project name in VS 2013 I have (Project incompatible), I want to convert the projects to VS2013 because I don't want to use VS2012 anymore.

These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
and this is the error in migration report
The application which this project type is based on was not found.
I found somewhere on a forum that if you install VS 2012 SDK it should work, but the VS2012 SDK cannot be installed because it cannot find Visual Studio 2012

I inherited a project that was created in Visual Studio 2015 with SQL Server Data Tools version 14.
I'm running VS 2017 version 15.6.0 with SQL Server Data Tools 15.1.61801.210
When I try to open the solution it just fails with the below error message. What do I need to do in order to "upgrade" the solution so I can work with it?

Ended up the SSDT integration elements hadn't installed. Once I did that I could right-click on the project in the solution explorer and reload it, and then it started working.
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 have C++ VS2008 project and my lovely IDE VS13. How can I work into VS13, but compile and debug project like in would be VS08. When I open VS2008 *.sln files that wrote to me about one-way upgrade, and how you i guess you understand, project after open in vs2013 don't open in vs2008.
For now, I use VS13 like notepad then copy all files text to alt+tab opening VS 2008 IDE and there are run project. And again work in VS13.
Based on Microsoft product lifecycle policies,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio&wa=wsignin1.0
Visual Studio 2008's mainstream support ended in April 2013, while Visual Studio 2013 was released in Jan 2014. That means Visual Studio 2013 will not support Visual Studio 2008 bits, so not a surprise if native multi targeting does not show v80.
I don't think you can easily get side by side, as VS2008 is too old, and its C++ project is not even MSBuild script. Once converted to VS2013, there is no way back.
Why cannot you just let VS2008 go? I guess that's why you get so many down votes.
You can't convert the solution to Visual Studio 2013 and still open it in Visual Studio 2008. You can, however, tell Visual Studio 2013 to use the Visual Studio 2008 compiler.
To do that, convert your solution to Visual Studio 2013 (don't forget to keep a copy of the original file, just in case), then open the project properties, go to the General options and select the Visual Studio 2008 platform toolset.
I have a VS2010 library project that I would like to use in a new app in VS2012. Of course when I open VS2012 it wants to update the library project. Is there any way of having two projects - one for VS2010 and one for VS2012?
We have a large product portfolio and not all apps will move to VS2012 at the same time.
Generally, as long as you're running VS2010 SP1, everything will work appropriately opening the project with both versions of VS.
For C++ compatibility specifically:
You can use Visual Studio 2012 to open a C++ project that was created in Visual Studio 2010 SP1. If you want to use the Visual Studio 2012 build environment to build a project that was created in Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you must have both versions of Visual Studio installed on the same computer.
The full list of compatibility information can be found on msdn
Recently I have downloaded Visual Studio 2013 ultimate, and I already had Visual Studio 2012 professional which was working fine.
However, after installing the VS2013, all of my VS2012 projects won't load. Even won't let me add any new files to the projects.
So, I captured the activity log by running the devenv.exe with devenv.exe /log command. An error was occur during opening up projects.
ERROR Extension will not be loaded because an extension with the same
ID 'Microsoft.Windows.DevelopmentKit.Desktop' is already loaded at
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON
FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS
KITS\8.0\DESKTOP SDK...
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS
KITS\8.1\DESKTOP SDK\ Extension Manager
Can anyone help me solving the problem?
I had the same issue. The problem is caused by VS2013 installing two tools automatically that conflict with older version previously installed with VS2012. (sigh). The two tools are:
Microsoft.Windows.DevelopmentKit.Desktop
Microsoft.WinJS
VS2012 installs version 8.0 and VS2013 installs version 8.1
Solution
Control Panel - Programs and Features
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
Select Change
Select Modify
Unselect Tools for Maintaining Store Apps for Windows
8 and Windows Phone 8.0 SDK
Save and restart either VS2012 or VS2013
If the error isn't gone, unselect anything having to do with developing Windows apps/programs and try again.
