I just installed WIX 3.10 and I'm using VS 2012 Ultimate. I have then successfully added a WIX setup project to my solution but that's about as far as I can go because the WIX menu is not showing up. The commands buttons that should appear at the top of the solution explorer window does not appear, neither does the shortcut button that appears just below the 'clean' button when you right click the project. I have tried uninstalling and restarting my PC several times but still the same.
snap shot of the solution explorer window.
I'm obviously missing something, but what? Thanks very much.
The designer you're looking for is from a 3rd party commercial product:
https://www.add-in-express.com/wix-designer/index.php
Normally one would write most Wix files by hand. It's relatively simple XML and the documentation isn't bad.
You can install the extension: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Then in the search box type 'wix' and Enter.
The extension name is 'Designer for Visual Studio Wix Setup Projects':

So I have been messing around trying to create an Azure Function using Visual Studio code. Frustrated enough to start all over and now according to Microsoft, to create a new project, I have to click the Azure icon on the left hand side and click New Project:
That being said, I don't have it anymore somehow:
Somebody please advise. I'm going crazy here trying to make it reappear.
For me, this option was buried in the sidebar menu in vscode as pictured below. I was not able to get the icons to reappear (I'm on an Apple Silicon machine).
1.Try to uninstall Azure Function Extension.
2.Restart Visual Studio Code.
3.Install the extension again.
The documentation on how to create New Azure Function Project in Visual Studio Code appears to be out of date. I found the solution in the store page of the extension. Open the 'Azure' extension, go to Workspace, click the plus, create function. Proceed as normal as per the MS Docs. Uninstalling did not work for me as #bala suggested.
Yeah, I did not had the button to create a new local Azure function.
I uninstalled Azure function plugin and after the refresh the button appeared. When I clicked the button, it informed me that I need to have Functions plugin installed.Then I reinstalled the plug-in and the button disappeared.
Restarting and Updating VSC fixed the issue.
I'm experiencing the following error each time I open up an instance of VS 2012, for about a week
(so it's not due to the yesterday's Update 4).
Even if I click Yes, the error is shown again when I re-open Visual Studio.
Anyway, the VMWare debugger seems to be correctly loaded
(actually I don't use it, it came with VMWare workstation).
I can't isolate a single operation that caused the error to start appearing.
Anyone is experiencing the same error?
[Edit] See Attilas answer for a much easier solution producing the same result [/Edit]
For anyone who could not solve this problem by re-installing the VMWare plug-in but do not want to sacrifice all his VS settings, here is a solution that did work for me:
Export 'Menu and Command Bar Customizations' VS settings only using
Tools => Import and Export Settings... => Export selected environment settings
Deselect 'All Settings'
Select only 'All Settings/General Settings/Menu and Command Bar Customizations'
Open exported .vssettings file in a text editor, scroll to the end and remove the entry <add_toolbar Menu=... Name='VMware' .../> in the UserCustomizations section
Import edited .vssettings file using
Tools => Import and Export Settings... => Import selected environment settings
and restart Visual Studio to check if the error has gone.
I know this is an old thread, but I solved this problem with a rather simple step. Had the same scenario, clicking Yes in the popup window didn't change a thing.
What worked for me: you should start VS as an administrator, wait for the popup window and click Yes. After that the popup never came up again (even when VS was run as a non-administrator). So there was no need for me to uninstall the VMWare pluging (or the whole VMWare WS).
Run the VMware Workstation installer
Choose Modify/Change
Uncheck Visual Studio Plugin
Problem gone!
Run the VMware Workstation installer
Choose Modify/Change
Check Visual Studio Plugin
Problem back again!

one possible solution:
Tools => Import and Export Settings => Reset all settings
seems to work for me.
VS 2013
Tools > Customize.. > Toolbars
Here I selected VMware and clicked Delete button.
I really don't use this plugin, this was the easiest solution for me.
None of the solutions here worked for me since I have already uninstalled vmware a long time ago and I was not willing to re-install it again.
MSDN suggests that there should be a registry key under
Root\Software\Microsoft\Visual Studio\...\AddIns\...
for VMdebugger, just delete that entry (the whole folder) and it'll be gone.
This worked for me:
completely uninstall VMWare workstation, reinstall it (select or deselect the VS plugin as you wish)
old school
If the option to install for all users was requested these Registry entries must also be removed.
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\Addins\VMDebugger.Connect
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\AddIns\VMDebugger.Connect
They correspond to the following HKCU entries. Hunt and kill.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\Addins\VMDebugger.Connect
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Addins\VMDebugger.Connect
From VS2012 menu bar select [Tools] [Add-in Manager]
Then check mark the radio box to install VMDebugger.
Worked on my system:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012
Version 11.0.61030.00 Update 4
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.51209
Installed Version: Professional

I have used the ajaxtoolkit with .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010, and I was able to add a new tab to the toolbox and add the ajaxtoolkit controls to the toolbox. How do I do this in Visual Studio 2012?
I have added the ajaxtoolkit with NuGet, but I would like to see the controls in the toolbox, so I can drag the controls in. How is this done?
It's located in the packages folder created by Visual Studio 2012 after you use NuGet Package Manager to download it.
Create a tab in Visual Studio (you can name it Ajax Toolkit).
Right click on it and select: Choose Items..
Click Browse and navigate to the packages folder that Visual Studio 2012 creates with your source. Something like this: ..\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.7.0123\lib\40\AjaxControlToolkit.dll
Select AjaxControlToolKit.
I just installed it in Visual Studio 2013. Here's a summary of the process:
Click on solution and Manage Nuget Packages
Filter for AJAX and select the Ajax Control Toolkit
After NuGet installs this, it won't be in the toolbox!
Create a new toolbox group for AJAX CONTROL TOOLKIT
Add Items
Browse
Navigate to the toolkit URL. Project is Webapplication1 in the c:\temp folder so the toolkit was in: C:\temp\WebApplication1\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.7.1213\lib\45 (because I am using framework 4.5)
Click OK and the toolbox should be populated.
Slight sort cut for finding the dll folder, for example step 7 in the instruction set given by user3546149.
(Good job, I would up vote your answer but no reputation).
AjaxControlTookkit should show under References for the project. Right click it and select Properties. The Path property is the path to the AjaxControlToolkit.dll. Copy that Path property.Then for step 7 paste the Path property directly in the search box. Saves eye strain and clickity click oops syndrome.
(Works for VS 2013 also, maybe others).
The current version of the AJAX Control Toolkit does everything to install itself into the VS toolbox. First exit out of VS (it will tell you to exit if you don't) then click the Download button in AJAX Control Toolkit.
To install Ajax Control Toolkit, run the following command in the Package Manager Console
PM> Install-Package AjaxControlToolkit
this is install the Ajaxtoolkit in your current project..
I'm using visual studio 2012 and I don't find the button start for debugging.
Instead, there a button "Attach".
How is it possible to enable Start button.
I have only one project in the solution that I imported from vs2010.
When a create a new project from scratch, Start is available.
You can solve this issue by right clicking the project in Visual Studio and setting it as the 'StartUp Project'.
I had this problem and it turned out that, even though the status bar was blank, it was still building (reeeeally slowly).
Hi there I have installed the krypton toolkit which makes your program look a lot more disgner friendly.
Heres my problem.
I can't use the toolkit i try looking through all of the options but no answer and i look on the internet no answer how can i use the toolkit on vs 2012 because i know it used to work on vs 2010
The Krypton Toolkit works fine in Visual Studio 2012.
You might have to manually add the controls to your toolbox in order to use them in the way you are accustomed to.
Show the toolbox by clicking on the 'VIEW' menu, and then the 'Toolbox' menu item.
Right-click on the toolbox, and click 'Choose items'.
Click the 'Browse' button, and navigate to the Krypton directory. This is usually C:\Program Files\Component Factory\Krypton Toolkit x.y.z\Bin\ where x.y.z is your installed Krypton version. It will be in Program Files (x86) if you are running 64-bit windows.
Select the ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit.dll file (and, optionally, the other Krypton files: ComponentFactory.Krypton.Navigator.dll, ComponentFactory.Krypton.Workspace.dll, ComponentFactory.Krypton.Docking.dll, and ComponentFactory.Krypton.Ribbon.dll).
Click the 'Open' button.
Your toolbox will now be populated with the Krypton controls, and you can use them just as you did with the previous Visual Studio versions.
That's got it. Thanks.
Once OPEN you'll notice them under the name Krypton .... in the "All Windows Forms" toolbox listing.
You also need to browse for it in the menu>Project >> Add Reference and then navigate to the same dll at C:\Program Files\Component Factory\Krypton Toolkit 4.4.0\Bin\ (current version at Mar 2013).
Now you'll be able to declare "using ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit;"
Around 37 controls should appear now in the design screen.
