I'm creating a set of project templates for my team. We use Visual Studio 2012, but haven't migrated our solutions to .net 4.5 yet. I've installed the Visual Studio SDK for VS2012, but it seems it only installed the "Project template" and "VSIX project" templates for .net 4.5. Is there a way to create 4.0 versions in Visual Studio 2012?

I had a .net 4.6 project and I installed the .Net Framework 4.6 but when I open my project Visual studio 2012 gives me those 3 options
1-Change the target to .Net Framework 4.6. You can change back to
".Net Framework, Version=v4.6" at later time.
2-Download ".NetFramework, Version=v4.6". The project will not change.
3-Do not load the project.
I'm sure that I had .Net 4.6 installed on my computer
The Idea that Visual studio 2012 doesn't support by default building project using .Net 4.6 and you have to setup something called targeting .net framework this allows you to find .Net 4.6 as a target .Net version on the project properties.
To update you studio 2012 you have to download 12.9 MB update from this link
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 recently migrated my VC++ 6.0 application code to Visual studio 2008 in Windows 7. Now, I would like to migrate my project again to Visual studio 2012/2013 in Windows 7. Which is prefered and why?
Visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2012
or
Visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2013
Please advise.
Thanks!

I would just migrate directly to VS2013. The changes between VS2012 and VS2013 are minor and none of them game-breaking.
I would also suggest looking at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/06/27/what-s-new-for-visual-c-developers-in-vs2013-preview.aspx and maybe the official MSDN articles
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.110).aspx for VS2012
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.120).aspx for VS2013
This may alert you to anything you might want to change\investigate before upgrade. At the end though if your goal is VS2013 then just do 1 upgrade, 1 set of tests etc.
I have created my codedUI project using VS2010 Ultimate and build works fine when I am building from VS2010 Ultimate.
I am trying to build the same project using VS2010 Professional and when the build starts it complaints about missing assemblies one of the missing assemblies is "Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework"
Is it possible to build CodedUI projects with VS2010 Professional?
The Visual Studio 2010 Professional version does not support the coded UI test, you might need to upgrade to the Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate or Microsoft Visual Studio Premium.
In new Versions of Visual Studio, Only Visual Studio Enterprise provide Coded UI Support and Visual Studio Professional & Visual Studio Community doesn't have support.

I'm running Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and working on a MVC 3 project.
I was just reading the:
"Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Hosting Provider using Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer: Introduction - 1 of 12 "
This states ".....install the Web Publish update that was released with Visual Studio 2012 RC."
Where do I download this?
Please note : I do not want to install VS 2012. I only want to upgrade my VS2010 Ultimate
Thanks
It is part of the Windows Azure SDK for VS2010: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/downloads/
