After installing VS2012 Professional as Administrator, successfully, according to the congratulatory message from the install package, there's no devenv.exe in the Common7\IDE folder and no entry in the Start menu.
Looking for technical support on the Microsoft site, I don't see Visual Studio 2012 Professional listed there. Has it been renamed to "Premium" perhaps?

FxCopIntegrator-2.0.0
FxCopSetup 10.0
I am using above tools to integrate Fxcop with Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition and it is worked fine as expected. Same configuration is not working in Visual Studio 2012 professional edition.
Is there any tool/configuration/integrator available for FxCop integrating with Visual Studio 2012?
Visual studio 2012/13 has fxcop built into the IDE.
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 VS 2012 Express and then later installed MS SQL Server 2012 Express with Tools.
Oddly, I now have two Visual Studio IDE's: the 2010 version that works with MS SQL Server 2012 projects and the 2012 Version that works with c#, vb, C++ projects...
How can I get the MS SQL Server projects to show in VS 2012 alongside c#, vb and C++ ?
Wait until 2013 comes out? They're behind on SQL Server Management Studio and VS, kind of how Visio was behind when the Office Ribbon came out and how Office was behind when Windows 8 came out.
How can I included Microsoft reporting 2005 with Visual studio 2012 while I'm working under .Net Framework 2.0?
Microsoft web site has conflicting information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182372.aspx
... using the Profiling Tools of Visual Studio Premium and Visual Studio Ultimate to analyze performance issues ...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd264994.aspx
Requirements
Visual Studio Ultimate, Visual Studio Premium, Visual Studio Professional
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compare
Professional: Examine and refine your code with extensive tools for app debugging and profiling
Ultimate: Collect and analyze runtime diagnostic data from production systems
Ultimate: Perform unlimited web performance and load testing
I think I am right in saying that 2010 Professional did NOT have the profiler, and you needed Premium or Ultimate edition. Has this changed for 2012?
VS 2012 Pro includes the profiler.
These Visual Studio 2012 versions supports Profiling Visual Studio Ultimate, Visual Studio Premium, Visual Studio Professional
