Visual Studio 2012 and Program Compatibility Assistant - visual-studio-2012

I have been successfully using VS2012 on Win7-x64 for months now. Today after restarting my machine launching VS2012 brings up this compatibility dialog:
Clicking "Check for solutions Online" has no effect.
I could run the program with "Run Program" but then VS2012 is not stable and I cannot run our custom development and source-control plugins.
Did anyone else ran into this issue with VS2012 or any ideas?
Appreciate your help.
Best,
Sarang

M$ realized they have problem with latest Windows updates and released the hotfix for VS2012.
For interested folks the hotfix is: Visual Studio 2012 hotfix KB2781514
Update:
As Carlton pointed: The hotfix is included in all Updates from 2 on
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301713

Visual Studio 2012 hotfix KB2781514 (from Sarang's correct answer) is part of Visual Studio 2012 Update 2. Instead of installing just this one hotfix it is better to install the latest update. As of this writing the latest one is Update 5.

resharper8 cannot find vs2012 on installation

I'm installing resharper 8 (the latest till now) onto vs2012, but when I ran the .msi file, it says "unsatisfied requirement: microsoft visualstudio" which means resharper cannot detect any visual studio installed on on PC. But I do have VS 2012 ultimate version installed and registered.
Can anyone give me help?
My vs2012 has also update3 installed. I'm now trying update4.
Thanks in advance.

After having the same problem I looked more into it reading the system requirements - I didn't realize it doesn't work with Visual studio Express versions, I'm guessing that's the problem you're having.

Visual Studio 2012 updates

How can I find What Update version I have in Visual Studio 2012? (update 1 or 2 or 3). HOw can I go back to update 1 so that I can build .dll which can be supported in windows XP? I am sorry It's not a programming question but highly appreciated for your answer. I'm stuck!
I have a following Error: Unable to load DLL 'xxx.dll': The specified procedure could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F)
My Target OS is windows XP: 32 bit .NET 4.0.
Also Same dll works for windows 7 and other so I think there shouldn't be dependency problem.
Help -> About will tell you what update you are running.
As far as I can tell, targeting windows XP is supported from VS 2012 with any update. You just need to make sure the project targets a version of the .NET framework that is supported on Windows XP. (.NET 4 or earlier)
How can I find What Update version I have in Visual Studio 2012?
Open Visual Studio, Click Help, Click About. See Second line.
Mine says "Version 11.0.60315.01 Update 2"
How can I go back to update 1?
(assuming Windows 7)
Control panel > Programs and Features > view installed updates > uninstall the update you want under the Visual Studio 2012 category.
That being said, I have no idea if this solution is actually something you need to do or will fix your problem. It is simply about how to remove the updates. It sounds like you may just need to download the latest .NET framework for XP.

Crystal report .rpt file in visual studio 2012 shows binary format instead of design

We developed an application in visual studio 2010 and reports are working fine, when we choose to open the same application through visual studio 2012 Ultimate, reports are not working and when i open .rpt file showing binary format ad also I could not find Crystalreport.rpt in Reporting template in visual studio 2012. After googling it, I have installed
CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 , but doesn't work.
How can i change or edit .rpt file design using visual studio 2012 and want to change the .rpt database name too. Any suggestion or idea to achieve this?
I had the same problem after installing visual studio 2012 and found no answer on the forums. I uninstalled CR yesterday and downloaded again the CRForVS 13.0.5 from here just in case there was a bug in the previous version I downloaded in may and installed it. Then I installed update 3 for Visual studio and everything works fine now.
Cheers
Michael
I figure this one out for me.
From SAP Crystal Reports's download site:
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft > Visual Studio" you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not ? >fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime >distribution only.
By default Windows 10 does not install the 3.5 framework, CR for VS still needs >it. Select it by "Turn Windows feature on or off" and choose both options.
I downloaded the exe, instead of the MSI packages, and it worked for me finally. Helps to read I guess.

Visual Studio 2012 Express is suddenly "incompatible with this version of Windows"?

I'm running Visual Studio Express 2012 on Windows 7. I've been running it with no problems for several months now.
Last Friday, when I shut down my PC, a lot of Windows updates were installed. This morning, when I started up and opened a VS2012 solution, I got this error message:
This program has known compatibility issues
...
Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop is incompatible with this version of Windows.
There's a button for Run Program, and when I click it, the solution opens normally. I haven't changed anything about my Windows configuration. This happens every time I open a solution. Did MS release a flawed patch in the batch of updates that got applied last Friday?
EDIT: I'm not sure why people are voting to close this question. The answer that's been linked to isn't related to my issue; that answer seems to pertain to trying to open a VS2012 project in VS2010. I'm trying to open a VS2012 project in VS2012. If you really think that the question needs to be closed, please let me know why in the comments, so that I can change it appropriately.
The .NET updates installed on Friday were:
KB2805226
KB2805221
KB2804582
UPDATE: I gave up, more or less, and clicked the "Don't show this window again" checkbox on the error window. Visual Studio seems to be running ok.
I received the same message on Visual Studio 2012 Premium (on PC where Windows 7 re-installed in last month) - the suggested fix was "Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (KB2781514)" which seems to have fixed it
www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36020
Install Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 solved my problem. No previous update needed for this one. Here's the descriptions of the update.
(I'm using Windows 8, installed all important updates for Windows, then tried repair Visual Studio in Programs and Features, problem still here until installed Update 2.)
I've been running VS2012 for about 2 weeks now since I clicked the "Don't show this window again" button. I haven't encountered any problems. For now I'm going to consider this an adequate solution.
I've just installed VS2012 at home and came across the same problem. The 1st solution I found is that webdeploy doesn't work after Oct 2013 and I should install Web deploy V3.0.
Done that, no joy. I let Win7 search for compatibility solution on-line and it found an update patch (KB2781514) which did work.
This is the same solution as mentioned before by #John M.
Should've looked here first, just posting this again if someone comes across this again these days..
Thanks to all other users who helped with this thread.
I had a similar problem with VS2012 awhile ago it was along the lines of:
"this solution has no errors and could potentially be damaged"
*yet still opened fine.
as far as fixing it went I performed a clean install of VS2012 and the error has not bugged me since in saying that I am probably out of date at this time and may find if I updated I would have the same issue.
Food for thought.
Even i had the same problem on Windows 7 with Visual studio 2012.
Installed Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 -KB2781514 and it fixed the issue.
Note: "Just clicking on Run program was also opening up the solution file without any issues in my case."

Can't run MSTest unit tests via Resharper after upgrading to VS 2012 Update 2

All tests are in pending state. I can not run or debug them. I see that others are experienced the same issue: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-339546
Jetbrains are on the case already:
We will be releasing an update to ReSharper 7 to fix the issue with the test runner and Visual Studio Update Pack 2.— JetBrains ReSharper (#resharper) April 5, 2013
Jetbrains fix it: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-339987
Seems to work in most case, still not with Windows Phone.
Run VS as administrator. I had exactly the same issue with vs2012 and resharper and it works like charm now
I'm using ReSharper 8.0.2 and VS 2012 and had this issue. I downloaded VS2012 Update 3 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/visual-studio-update and it solved the issue
