Full uninstall of Visual Studio 2012 - visual-studio-2012

I know that the regular uninstall available through Windows 10 for installing and uninstalling programs leaves "bread crumbs" in both the C:\Users subdirectory and the registry. I had to do this for Visual Studio 2019 when I uninstalled it but I do not know the equivalent instructions for VS2012.
Does anyone know any specifics with regards to this?

Visual Studio 2017 Community installation freeze on "Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14"

I just installed Windows 10 Fall Creator and OS is completely updated.
I try to install "Visual Studio Community" now, but is frozen on Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14.
I searched solutions, but nothing.
In my research, I understand that happens often.
I have not installed antivirus yet.
I have tried with the offline installation (I had downloaded and created the folder) by console: frozen.
I have tried with the online installation: frozen.
Every suggestion is welcome.

MicrosoftVisual C++ 2015 Redistributable installation failed 0x80240017

When I try to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, I get this error
0x80240017, I need it to solve the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll problem
I had the same problem recently, I needed to use XAMPP and when initializing the Apache module I received this error. I tried many things:
Install all windows updates.
Install Visual C ++ 2015 Redistributable that installs this DLL (I get this error 0x80240017 and could not install).
Install the KBKB2999226 and KB2919355 package that contains this DLL.
Clear TEMP folder and rename directories.
I could not by any means. What solved my problem was to install Visual Studio 2015 itself, I had to push the envelope, I had to push it, that solved my problem, and XAMPP becomes to run, unfortunately.

VS 2012 Update 3 broke my VS

I am using Windows 8 64 bit machine with VS 2012 ultimate. After installing Update 3 and restarting the machine, I get following error whenever I try to open VS.
---------------------------
devenv.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The said file is already present in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Please let me know what can be done here..don't want to reinstall that monster again.
You need to check where your projects are being loaded. I have VS installs under both x86 and 64. You'll need downloads for both on a 64 bit operating system.

Some basic tips:
Ensure you have run the install with Administrator rights.
VS won't always ask for a computer restart. However, reboot your computer.
A note about this update.
Note Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server (TFS) installation
mechanics are different. The Visual Studio update installs on top of
whatever is already installed on the computer. The TFS update is a
full layout that replaces whatever is installed on the computer.
Before you try to apply the TFS update, make sure that you have a full
backup of your current databases. If the TFS update installation
fails, you will be unable to restart the update or roll back to the
earlier version of TFS without performing a restore procedure.

If you get this error it means you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 Update 3.Try to download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 .Hope this helps.
Since it is a 64bit system, copying the missing file to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder should solve your problem. If it keeps failing for other dll just keep copying.
With same error (MSVCR110.dll not found) really reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 not solved all problems. Some VS tools report - not found msvcr110_clr0400.dll. After repair installation of .net 4.0 (or 4.5/4.5.1) all work fine.

Installing PlatformToolset v110 without installing Visual Studio 2012

We have a Visual Studio solution that contains some VC++ projects, and we've currently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 from VS2010. In the process we also lifted the VC++ projects to PlatformToolset v110.
On our build server (Jenkins), we would like to build this project with MsBuild without having to install VS2012. But I can't get it to work, and I think it's because the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110 must be present.
This folder and its contents is created during installation of VS2012, but as far as I can tell it won't be included in either the Windows SDK 7.1 or Windows SDK 8.0?
Is there any other SDK or installation package that can help with this issue?
I know it's not really without installing Visual Studio 2012, but:
If licensing costs are the biggest driver perhaps the Express for Windows Desktop edition could be an alternative. You could keep the installation to the minimum required to support C++ builds.
