64 bit visual studio not available on website spark - 64-bit

I have a website spark account that I find very beneficial.
I run a 64 bit PC and looking to download visual studio 2012 from website spark - but the 32bit (X86) is only available. Any idea why 64 bit isn't available or when it might be available?

There's no 64bit version of Visual Studio because it uses a combination of 32bit and 64bit DLLs as it needs in respect to programs you are developing (and debugging). You can install it on both 32bit and 64bit systems and will work.

There is no 64bit version of Visual Studio.
Not on spark sites, not anywhere.
The Visual Studio team has decided not to produce one, as the overheads and complication of having a 64bit version outweighed the benefits.
The 32bit version will work just fine.

There is no 64-bit version of Visual Studio.
The 32-bit version will work fine on 64-bit systems.

InstallShield limited edition in visual studio 2012 on windows 10 gives BSOD

I'm working with installshield 2013 limited edition in visual studio 2012. This used to work fine on windows 8.1. After upgrading to windows 10 installshield produces a BSOD: registry_filter_driver_exception; ISRegFlt64.sys problem.
This is a known problem for Flexera but they don't seem to offer an upgrade.
Or am I missing something?
The fix is present in InstallShield 2015, including the 2015 Limited Edition. If you can't use that because of editions of Visual Studio, you should be able to just take the updated driver and replace it per (tweaked) instructions on the community (except for the bug fix, the driver is shared and hasn't changed lately):
... copy ISRegFlt.sys (ISRegFlt64.sys on 64-bit machines) from \Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2015\System to the System folders of any other recent versions of [InstallShield] on the machine.

How to Install Visual Studio 2015 in Ubuntu

I have heard about Visual Studio . Net 2015 for Ubuntu
I can't find anything useful online yet
Can you please help me install this version on ubuntu linux?
Thank you...
As far as I know, no Visual Studio can be run in the LINUX or UBUNTU version.It only can run in Windows
You can try Wine, but per the Wine application database, Visual Studio generally works poorly under Wine

Visual Studio Code isn't an IDE like Visual Studio
Instead, it's a modified version of ATOM which is a text editor. It lacks almost everything from the original Visual Studio. By now, Visual Studio 2015 isn't properly working under WinE. Maybe a test can be done using the ISO instead of the web installer. Make ISO installer work under WinE it's your only option to get Visual Studio under Linux.
You can try wine, but it probably wont work very well.
Visual Studio Code isn't a full IDE and I hate it, but you can try it.
You could use a virtual machine with windows on it, or you could look at other programs that are similar. For example I use pycharm, because I generally work in python.
You can try wine.
Or Visual Studio Code, announced and released (preview) today:
https://code.visualstudio.com/#alt-downloads
Microsoft have released a cut down version for Linux https://code.visualstudio.com/ its simply called visual studio code! Then you have to install additional components such as ASP.NET version 5 which you can download from the same link. In my own experience I installed all of these and the program worked fine. That is until it was time to reboot my Linux Mint v 17.2 system. I use an encrypted drive and was able to enter my password to unencrypt my drive, but then after entering my userpassword my system crashed and went into a loop which I couldnt get out of. So I had to boot from a USB stick with Mint on it and unencrypt the drive from there to remove Visual Studio Code and its components just to access my system again so beware - there is a major bug here which needs fixing.

Developing code in Visual studio that also runs in Linux

I have developed Visual C++ 2008 code that runs in Windows. I have made it cross platform also so that it runs under Linux.
I am greatly concerned about distributing source code and even just libraries that Linux users can link to.
I have used CMake and Code::Blocks (only in Linux) but it was still developed using Visual Studio 2008 for most development.
The license looked similar for the professional version and the express version. Let me know if binaries can be released to run under Linux and also if it is okay to open source the entire project. I am pretty far into this project. Maybe it should have been done entirely in Linux.
I am also interested to jump to another Windows compiler such as MinGW in addition because of the Visual Studio licensing restrictions. Is this the path that cross platform programs are usually created or can they be created primarily with the professional or express Visual Studio compilers?

Targetting Windows XP from Visual Studio 2012 when using C++ DLL

I am trying to execute a C# program on Windows XP (SP3) which references a managed C++ DLL compiled with VS2012. When compiling the C++ DLL, I have set the Platform Toolset to build to Windows XP (using the v110_xp option) and set minimum required version to 5.01 in linker options, and I already installed Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package on the Windows XP machine. But it didn't work.
Any idea on this?
As you mentioned Platform Toolset and v110_xp option, I'd risk assuming the question is about an unmanaged C++ DLL. Anyway, try compiling your DLL with the original VS 2012 distribution (no updates) and see if it works. I dealt with a similar issue caused by VS 2012 Update 2, which is described here. You could test each of your dependency DLLs (including VC++ redistributables) with DependencyWalker, to check if any of them is using a Win32 API not implemented by Windows XP. Just do it under XP itself.

32bit Build in Visual Studio 2012

I read in another thread that in order to make exe applications run on a 32bit OS, you need to go into the properties of your program and change Target CPU to x86. I've done this and for some reason, I still get an invalid win32 error when I try running it in Windows XP. I would post a picture but I don't have enough rep, so I hope you get what I'm trying to say!
I had your exact same problem, take a look here How to compile for Win XP with Visual Studio 2012?
Basically, VS 2012 does not support Windows XP, so you need to download & install CTP Update if you want your program to work in that OS.
Once installed, you need to change this option in your project properties:
Hope this helps.
