I'm a little bit reluctant as to ask question, as it was asked already here, but the problem is, it wasn't answered sufficiently enough, so I'm forced to ask it second time.
So, just as previously mentioned asker I'm trying to create new project in Microsoft Visual 2010. And instead of showing normal window, it prompts me to save .html file, as shown in picture below.
Saving it and that opening it results in the following window:
though it does nothing - just page with no influence over the project at all.
Notably, this happens not only for Win32 application, but for MFC applications too.
As for the cause of this I don't know of it. As you can see from first screenshot, I was doing Web applications before hand, but I didn't change any of preferences at all (though, my guess is that it's somehow connected).
As for solving this issue, I tried uninstalling IE8, as stated in previous topic, but that didn't help. Also, I tried doing Tools -> Import & Export Settings -> Reset, but it didn't help either.
Please, if someone know solution for this, tell me - I'm out of my wits with this problem.
This problem is occurred because some Visual studio setting is corrupted.
I'd like to recommend to reset settings like following
start > Run> devenv.exe /resetsettings
Unfortunately, many parts of this case related to disturbing or collisions among files. In my experience, some programmes, which were installed recently, might cause this concern.
I'd like to recommend to install all service packs and update patches for VS 2010 and then try it again. If it doesn't fixed, reinstalling VS will be a relevant solution for saving your time and conserving your passion.

Let me apologize in advance for the new-guy quality of this question. I would much rather be asking a question about something more interesting, like a challenging Project Euler question or evolutionary algorithms, but alas I am stuck with major VSE 2012 problems.
Up until around four hours ago, VSE 2012 worked perfectly fine. Now, I can't even run a simple "Hello, World" program. No compile errors, although I did have an issue with symbols not being found at the beginning of this nightmare, but I managed to resolve that. It compiles, but it does not run. The console window appears, but no output is displayed, no prompt for input is displayed, nothing is processed. All that appears is the "Please press any key to continue..."
I'm starting to think that my configuration of VSE is corrupted, that maybe I need to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall it all, but I'm hoping that's not the case. My version of VSE is up to date, as is my redistributable. My specs are pretty normal, XPS 15z run-of-the-mill laptop running Windows 7, handled VSE perfectly fine for several months until now.
Since VSE started to act up I have been operating through the command line, although I'm really starting to miss an IDE for C++, it just isn't the same. If VSE doesn't start looking up, I'll just have to get a plug-in for Eclipse or actually put in the time to learn how to use Emacs (maybe this is a sign? haha).
I'm sorry for the rant. Has anyone experienced problems like this? The problem isn't that my program is running too quickly (at least I don't think), since prompting for user input doesn't work, nor does the dreaded system("pause").
Any help will be greatly, greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more information.
Reinstall it. If it's compiling and running correctly through the command line then it's a problem with VS.
Considering the issue with the symbols, it sounds like you have the choice of either reinstalling or spending a potential several hours fixing some super specific configuration corruption case.
I'm on Windows7, SQL Server 2012 and currently I've installed SSMS Tools Pack (licensed) and SSMSBoost (community free license) plugins, both really usefull and time savers.
The issue I'm having is that each time I restart ssms, usually once a week (but some days, as this morning, maybe couple of times), I need to reconfigure the visible/hidden buttons on both toolbars related to these plugins. I guess is an issue not related to the plugins but more a ssms missconfiguration. I've searched a lot trying to find where is the problem but can't find it. It's becoming really annoying to configure tools bars on each restart.
Any clue on where the problem could be? Do anyone has/had same issue?
I am developer of SSMSBoost. The reason is that we re-create the toolbar every time SSMS starts. This is due to some old issues with toolbar registration in SSMS2008. We plan to eliminate this "bad behaviour" in coming versions.
I have inherited a install shield project that was using 2010. I upgraded to 2012 IS professional.
I also downloaded the skin customization kit which encounters the following problem. I am trying to use this customization kit to generate new skin file as
CreateSkinFile.exe C:\MySkinFilesSrc C:\CustomizedSkins\setup.isn
It opens and closes immediately. There is no scope of reading the error that it displayed as it opens a new window and closes in a sub-second. There is no log, no trace on what exactly it is complaining.
Is there any way to trouble shoot this and see what the problem is? The ini file is in order per the customization kit guidelines.
btw: I wanted to make sure that I am doing the right thing. I took one of their clown examples and tried to generate a skin using it. That also fails in a similar way. Added to that I used the skin customization kit to extract and used the same exacted ones to make a skin and that fails too.
Here is what i have found and i hope it helps others.
The kit is written very poorely, as it does not have any verbose or proper error reporting. It opens and closes so fast a human cannot read. Having said that i found that:
The kit that the account representative gave me is for 2012 Spring. Once i rectified that, the problem remains.
The root cause is that, one of images in the skin file does not exist. I have number of images, and i was not careful to look at every one of them. Once i went through and made sure every image is present in the directory, the CreateSkinFile went ahead and generated the ISN file successfully.
Hope it helps some one else.
I'm using VS2008 (version 9.0.30729.1 SP) and have found that outlining regularly stops working. I get outlining options for the start and end of functions, and for comment blocks, but not for other code blocks, such as ifs, while loops, for loops, etc... Using Reset all settings, as recommended in a similar previous question temporarily fixes the problem, but it comes back going in and out of visual studio. It also has the side effect of requiring me to reset all my C++ directories. Any ideas how to resolve this?
Edit: Using Right Click / Outlining / Collapse block works, but is a bit tedious. I'd really like to see the embedded pluss and minus symbols on the graphic outline. I've tried all the other outlining sub-menu options but to no avail.
My suggestion would be to write a script which every couple of hours adds a randomized post to the VS2008 support forums, requesting that this feature be made more robust, until someone at MS promises to improve it. ;-)
More seriously, you might make a copy of the VS configuration settings files, work until the bug reoccurs, then make another copy, and diff the two versions to see what might have changed. That might give a clue, since resetting the settings seems to fix it temporarily.
Many, if not all, of my old VC++ 6.0 MFC apps don't work in Vista and Server 2008. I had that migration was a problem, but now it's my problem :(
How do I go about making these things work? Is that possible? I've searched, but is there some repository of knowledge on this subject?
edit:
Compatibility mode seems to work.
There should be specific reasons why they don't work, and of course, what exactly does not work. Maybe you should break each issue into a separate question (maybe here at SO) and tell us exactly what kind of problems you have when you try to run them, and what is the code that makes those errors show up.
Without the details, it's too vague. There is no magic you can apply to make applications simply work just like that.
There's a document available here that explains how to develop UAC compliant applications.
Without recompiling, have you tried setting the compatibility mode on the program to Windows 98 or ME?
