SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET does NOT support Express Editions of any version of Visual Studio .NET.
You can download the free visual studio community edition 2013 which work well with crystal report

I am not able to see any project template for InstallShield 2010 in Visual Studio 2012.
How to integrate InstallShield 2010 with Visual Studio 2012 after installing it?
I also tried this approach http://flexerasoftware.force.com/articles/en_US/HOWTO/Manually-Enable-Integration-with-All-Versions-of-Visual-Studio-NET. But no result.

Today I found that installshield 2010 supports visual studio 2010.
InstallShield 2010 was released far before Visual Studio 2012 ever saw the light of day, as such there was no way to integrate it when it shipped. As far as I can tell no Service pack to InstallShield 2010 ever brought this functionality.
The InstallShield 2012 edition is the first edition that integrates into Visual Studio 2012.
The full compatibility matrix is listed on the FAQ you quoted:
Only certain versions of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET are supported with specific versions of InstallShield products. For example:
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2012 is supported by InstallShield 2012 Spring and later.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010 is supported by InstallShield 2011 and later.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008 is supported by InstallShield 2009 and later.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 is supported by InstallShield 11.5 and later.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 is supported by InstallShield X and later.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 is supported by InstallShield Developer.
I installed Crystal Report from http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824 support pack 8 with visual studio 2012 express edition,but it didn't work as in documentation it is clearly stated that it is only compatible with Visual Studio professional edition.(Which i got after spending few hours)
My question is : which version of crystal report will be compatible with Visual Studio 2012 Express edition?
Plz reply...

After Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2013, the download links to Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web (and all 2012 Express for that matter) have vanished from their site.
They have still kept download links to Visual Studio 2010 Express. This seems ridiculous. I have a system where I would like to do some testing without IE 10 installed which is a prereq for Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web. Only Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web allows that.
If anyone knows where I could find the legit ISO for VS 2012 Express for Web, it would be of great help! I believe express editions are completely free forever, so getting an ISO would be legit.
Microsoft is notorious for changing removing links from their portal :)
Here is the actual link:

Hope this helps.
I would like to make a template for F# lib + XNA 4.0 + Xbox360 for visual studio 2012.
All I have is Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition for Web.
When I try to install the Visual Studio 2012 SDK, it stops after reporting that it requires Visual Studio 2012. The log seems to indicate it's looking for the Professional edition.
I'm not interested in buying a professional license for hobby work, and I am a bit surprised Microsoft would want to prevent hobbyists from extending their product.
I do have a professional license for Visual Studio 2010, though. If there's a way to make extensions for 2012 using 2010, that would work for me.
You can use VS2010 to develop extension compatible with VS2012.
All you have to do is to manually change vsixmanifest to make it work with newer version:
<SupportedProducts>
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
Note however that Visual Studio Express does not support extensions, so you won't be able to install it in VS2012 Express anyway.
