I am running visual studio 2012 on my windows 8 laptop, and I want to move the visual studio 2012 that holds the templates, projects, settings, etc in My Documents on a folder on my c: drive called Dev. When I copied the folder over to the Dev folder and deleted the original, an error message showed up when I ran vs again, and it created another visual studio 2012 folder in My Documents.
Click Tools>Options then Projects and Solutions change your Projects location path. There is a separate setting for project templates and item templates on the same screen.

I want to use a custom template I created with VS 2013 Update 5 in VS 2015.
The template works with VS 2013 Update 5, but not in VS 2015.
I've opened the solution from which the projects are exported as templates in VS 2015, and exported the 5 projects from the solution to the folder "My Exported Templates" under "Visual Studio 2015".
Under "My Exported Templates", I created a root .vstemplate file, which contains the ProjectTemplateLink tags for the 5 included projects. The project names are substituted by $safeprojectname$ here.
In the sub folders of the exported template projects, I've edited the .csproj
files to include the ProjectReference ... tags for the referenced projects.
The project names are substituted by $ext_projectname$ here.
When I create a new Visual Studio Project from the template, in VS 2013 Update 5, the referenced projects names are substituted properly, but not in Visual Studio 2015.
Former, the same problems occurred in Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 - I think it works since Visual Studio 2013 update 2, but I'm only sure that it works under VS 2013 Update 5.
Thanks for any help!

The Problem only occurs when I open a Visual Studio 2013 Solution in Visual Studio 2015 and use it as a Visual Studio 2015 Solution.
I've built up the solution from the ground in Visual Studio 2015 and exported the projects, and then it worked.
Excuse me, why my visual studio 2012 becomes not responding when include (include in project or copy paste the file) RPT file in project ?
Yesterday was still alright. I've tried reinstall the visual studio, include it in other projects and reset all settings via tools-> import and export settings... but the problem is still exist.
I'm trying to publish my final project on ISS7 server and it works fine , but it deletes some sub folder of images uploading. So, I have to recreate folders manually on ISS7 server.
Is there any solution to help visual studio know that these folders are required to run my website? Can I define this on web config?
You need just to Add the sub folders to visual Studio project before your publish it, so the visual studio know that you want these folders.
I have installed VS 2012 which worked perfectly until last updating. Now it can't see common paths. I tryed to customize them but failed. For example I have some project being ok before but now there are glitches all around it:
here are current settings I done:
This is like those folders look:
While a new project is creating I get such messges:
Besides I have not found how to make settings global (not for only the single project). For sure all that is not very sophisticated but I have too little experience with VS. So I will very appreciate for real help!
And the current version is:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012
Version 11.0.61030.00 Update 4
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709
Installed Version: Professional
Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2012 04938-004-0033001-02302
Microsoft Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2012
Visual Basic 2012 04938-004-0033001-02302
Microsoft Visual Basic 2012
Visual C# 2012 04938-004-0033001-02302
Microsoft Visual C# 2012
Visual C++ 2012 04938-004-0033001-02302
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012
Visual F# 2012 04938-004-0033001-02302
Microsoft Visual F# 2012
The problem is resolved.
The cause was that before updating VS placed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
but after updating here:
B:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
files which paths became broken left at the old location, i.e. here:
c:\Program Files (x86)\VC\
I really don't know why it is possible but reality is such just this.
So the solution was purely empirical:
1. Try to find lost files on the disk where VS was installed before:
Copy them into the directory where it is installed now:
Open any of projects to check if all is correct now:
Checked!
After running through the installation of dot42, and specifying both Visual Studio 2010 integration as well as Visual Studio 2012 integration, I'm unable to find a 'dot42' project in 2012. In 2010 the new dot42 subcategory opens under C# and I'm able to see the project types to create.
I noticed that dot42 installs its dlls in the Extensions folder, and looking at the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions folder, the dot42 files are there, just as they are under Visual Studio 10.0.
Why can't I create a dot42 project in Visual Studio 2012?
I updated dot42 from version 1.0.0.69 to 1.0.0.70 and the problem has been resolved. I can now create Visual Studio 2012 dot42 projects.
