how can i open solution which is being developed using trial version of Visual Studio 2012 Professional in Visual Studio 2012 Express for web?
When i try to do so, i get an error stating the solution you are trying to open is incompatible with this version of the application. Open this solution with another version which supports this type of solution.
Visual Studio 2012 Express For Web wouldn't do alone, in order to open an Azure project with it you have to install the Azure SDK after you have installed the VS.

I recently developed a program in VB.net with Access Database. And I want to create setup file of it.
I'd searched on "How to create setup file". And I got that using "Deployment and Installing" we can. After that I'd install "InstallShield". But that option does not appear inside Visual Studio.
I'm using "VS Express 2012 for Windows Desktop".
Visual Studio Express 2012 does not support extensions, as such 3rd party products will not be able to provide additional functionality. The InstallShield LE page on MSDN spells this out clearly:
InstallShield Limited Edition is free for users of all Visual Studio editions except the Express editions.

Your options are:
Install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition (if you are allowed by the license) or buy Visual Studio Professional. These can be extended with either Wix or the Visual Studio Setup Package extension or Installshield.
Create a click-once installer
Use an installation system that is independent of Visual Studio and have it pick up your project output from a specific directory. You would have to author your installer outside of Visual Studio, e.g.:
NSIS
Wix and Wix Editor
I downloaded the Windows 8 app samples (C#) from here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Windows-8-app-samples-4d76cbbf
I'm trying to open them with Visual Studio 2012 Express 2012 for Windows Phone and I'm getting the following error window:
The complete text of which is here:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio does not have the following
project types installed or does not support them. You can still open
these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were
originally created.
- AccelerometerCS, "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Windows 8 app samples\C#\Windows 8 app samples\Accelerometer sensor sample (Windows
8)\C#\AccelerometerCS.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in this version of
Visual Studio without changing them. They will continue to open in
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and in this version of Visual Studio.
- AccelerometerCS, "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Windows 8 app samples\C#\Windows 8 app samples\Accelerometer sensor sample (Windows
8)\C#\AccelerometerCS.sln"
Is there something I can do to load these samples that doesn't involve me buying the full Visual Studio 2012?
The Express versions of Visual Studio are targeted to support specific platforms only.
The version for Windows Phone will only open Windows Phone projects.
To open Windows [8] projects you'll need the appropriate version of Visual Studio Express which is available from http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2013-preview
I wrote an application with Visual Studio EXPRESS 2012 on a Windows 7 PC for research purposes. Now I want to run it on another PC (with Windows 8), which will be used by a medical group. Now my question is: HOW?
InstallShield LE doesn't work on Express... I tried to install Visual studio Express 2012 on the other PC (obviously the win8 version) using absolutely the SAME version number: 11.0.60610.01 Update 3; but it gives me an error importing the project and says that my project is "not compatible". What should I do?
As Wix cannot integrate directly into Visual Studio Express, you can install the Visual Studio Isolated Shell Environment along side the express edition.
Or you can use a stand alone Wix IDE like WixEdit to author the installer. I suspect that you've downloaded the wrong Visual Studio Express version.
The Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 is meant to build Windows 8 Store Apps, you probably need the Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop Applications version instead, even when building on Windows 8, the name is a bit confusing, I agree.

I have installed visual studio 2012 ultimate. I tried to create new project - MVC4 - WebAPI. I got the error message "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070002)"
I have reinstalled vs 2012 and repair mode also. I still cannot rid of this error message.
Any advise?
Download ASP.NET Web tools 2012.2 from
http://www.asp.net/downloads and install it
I am quite positive you should be able to create ASP.NET MVC projects using Visual Studio 2012.
Previously I used VS 2010 Professional that I got from Dreamspark and I could use cmd line MDbg out of the box. But in VS 2012 there is no 'MDbg.exe' in the installation directory. Is it excluded from the Express edition, if so then is there any standalone installer available?
MDbg.exe is part of the .NET SDK which can be downloaded separately from Visual Studio:
