Team,
I am a beginner in Azure. I have a task to upgrade the Azure SDK from 2.1 to the latest version available. The Azure project is housed under a MVC 4.0 solution and is currently using VS 2012.
Is it mandatory to use VS 2017 professional/Enterprise edition to work further on the project.
Can i still have VS 2012 and upgrade to the lastest Azure SDK version. How to go about it ?
My AZURE project uses a worker role, Azure storage n all.. Can anyone give me the step by step upgradation steps for this?

The short answer is no. We could get the answer from this link.
We could know that VS 2015+ is required to install the Azure SDK 3.0
System Requirements
Supported Operating System
Windows 10 , Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016
Note: Windows 7 Home Basic is not supported.
Required Software:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 OR
Microsoft Visual Studio Express for Web 2015 OR

I am trying to install Azure Service Fabric SDK - Preview 1 according to this MS article in which it is clearly stated that
The tools for Service Fabric Preview 1 depend on Visual Studio 2015 RC, which you can find here.
I have VS 2015 RC PRO already installed. I have VS 2012 U4 too. Azure SDK 2.56 too.
The surprise comes when I try to download and install it. Here is a screenshot of the error message - Windows Server 2012 is required.
Here is log 1.
Here is log 2.
I just can figure out what is wrong and how am I supposed to develop for service fabric? Am I required to have WS 2012 with VS 2015 on it?
Windows 7 is not supported for the preview. Supported OS versions are:
Windows 8/8.1
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 10 Technical Preview
As Darran suggests, you can use the Azure VM gallery to get a Server 2012 image with VS 2015 RC pre-installed and then install the preview on top of it.
Feel free to add Windows 7 support as a request on the Service Fabric UserVoice forum.
Which OS are you trying to install on? I believe Windows 8 / 8.1 are > Server 2012. I've got it running on Windows 8.1. You could always use a Server 2012 VM on Azure. There's an image in the MSDN gallery with VS15 RC pre-installed.
I'm getting this Message when trying to create a new project:
TFS 2012 Express and Visual Studio 2012 is installed in a separate Machines. All machines are members of the Active Directory, behind proxy and comes with Kaspersky EndPoint 10 MR.
Also I'm a TFS Console Administrator and have the highest rights available.
Visual Studio 2012 Machine Setup:
Professional Version with Update 4;
Windows 7 Pro SP1;
TFS Machine Setup:
TFS 2013 Express (TFS 12.0.21005.1 Tfs2013.RTM);
Windows 7 Pro SP1
Sounds like you need an updated version of Team Explorer (the connector between VS and TFS) since you are using TFS 2013 and VS 2012. VS 2012 ships with Team Explorer 2012 which can connect to TFS 2012 and earlier versions.
Take a look at the compatibility charts: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997788.aspx
Perhaps you need Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30661
I figured out that the reason this throws the error message because the Team Explorer and TFS should be aligned with same version. In my context, I was using Team Explorer 2012 which ships with VS 2012 against a TFS Express 2013.
Team Explorer Version and the TFS Version should be the same to avoid this error appearing.
There were few things you could do,
As #madannes mentioned in his post above to use Team Explorer Everywhere
and
As Vivek Bansod explains in the MSDN Forum, I used the Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 (The shell version of VS 2013), to create a Team Project and then continued to Add Solution, Check-In and Check-Out operation against TFS Express 2013.
Download Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 from this link and create a project there. These projects can be connected to from VS 2012.
I have TFS 2010 installed on the TFS server, and VS 2012 installed on my workstation, and that's working great except we have some check-in policies that rely on TFPT, and I have not yet installed TFPT on my workstation. I'm wondering if I can just install the newer version, or if I'd have to rely on the older version until TFS is upgraded to 2012.
We use VS2012 and point it at both TFS2012 (in the cloud) and a TFS2010 instance. I have TFPT for 2012 installed and everything works OK. I'm not an advanced user of TFPT.
I am currently setting up a development VPC to test some new technology. I have installed VS 2010 Beta 2.
I now want to install the Azure development tools. The latest download that I have been able to find is the July CTP. This is suposed to work with Beta 1.
I get the following error message:
Visual Studio 2008 is currently installed but this product requires Service Pack 1. Please install SP1 and try again.
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 requires the Visual Web Developer feature to be installed in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (Standard or above).
Am I missing something or is it not possible to install it on Beta 2?
AFAIK Windows Azure Tools only supports VS 2010 Beta 1. I expect a new version with support for Beta 2 pretty soon though (at least when the PDC comes around.)
