I ran Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista (32-bit). I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and Visual C++ began crashing when building release executables. The actual crash is in mt.exe. I get the message, "mt.exe has stopped working".
Is there a way to solve the crash, or do I need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008?
I did a clean install of Windows 7 (64-bit) instead of an upgrade, and the problem went away.
You should check your .NET installation before reinstalling windows. Read this:

mt.exe is part of Windows SDK. Maybe you can try the version in Windows 7 SDK.

I have installed Visual studio 2012 on windows 7 Ultimate. but every time I open it , I get the message that
" visual studio 2012 is incompatible with this version of windows. For more information , Contact Microsoft."
As far as I know that Visual studio 2012 could be installed on windows 7. How can I find the incompatibility problem?
This Incompatibility issue occur when windows 7 is least update but Visual studio 2012 is not update .

I am running Windows 8.1 and I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise RC with Blend.
I am trying to install the Windows 10 development tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC and getting the following error:
ExecuteError: Package (VSSecondaryInstaller_box) failed: Error Message Id: 1603 ErrorMessage: Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294
Has anyone else gotten this error and found a solution to successfully install?
Through a quick google of the error code you provided, I found an article with the following post:
To get unblocked, go to https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.

I cannot speak for the solutions' effectiveness personally, but it was a marked answer. I hope this helps!
We've fixed this issue, and have released an update as of 7PM PDT 30 April 2015.
New installs of Visual Studio 2015 RC should expect to no longer encounter this problem, unless you lose your internet connection during installation. (That is, this error now indicates that the Windows SDK or Windows Emulator setup invoked by Visual Studio setup has lost internet connectivity and cannot download necessary files.)
To fix the issue, re-run setup and select the features "Universal
Windows App Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile"
again.
If you have already installed Visual Studio and encountered this problem, you can now modify your Visual Studio installation to successfully install.
Go to Program & Features, select Visual Studio 2015 RC, and select Change.
Click Modify, then select the features "Universal Windows App
Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile", and click
Update.
Note that "Universal Windows App Development Tools" will be already selected. This is expected. Keep it selected, and click Update.
An alternate solution is to install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows Emulators separately. Go to https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.

Installed Windows 10 installed from scratch.
Installed VS2015 from ISO.
VS2015 failed to install the Windows 10 emulators.
No loss of connectivity.
Here's my 2 cents. I tried all the methods in all the forums and the tools failed to install for me on Windows 10. Then as a last resort, I enabled 'Developer Mode' in Settings and tried installing the tools again and voila! They did.
I'm installing VS2012 update 2, but now whenever I tried to install, the installation hang at the beginning while applying "Microsoft Portable Library Multi-Target Pack" and not able to progress at all. I'm running Windows 8 x64 with latest updates and VS2012 Ultimate.
Anyone encountered the same situation? Anyone got it working?
BTW, I have 2 win8 x64 machines, both have this issue.
We have a Visual Studio solution that contains some VC++ projects, and we've currently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 from VS2010. In the process we also lifted the VC++ projects to PlatformToolset v110.
On our build server (Jenkins), we would like to build this project with MsBuild without having to install VS2012. But I can't get it to work, and I think it's because the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110 must be present.
This folder and its contents is created during installation of VS2012, but as far as I can tell it won't be included in either the Windows SDK 7.1 or Windows SDK 8.0?
Is there any other SDK or installation package that can help with this issue?
I know it's not really without installing Visual Studio 2012, but:
If licensing costs are the biggest driver perhaps the Express for Windows Desktop edition could be an alternative. You could keep the installation to the minimum required to support C++ builds.
For some reason, my Samsung TV emulator versions 2.5.1 (2011) and version 3.5.2 (2012) work fine except for version 4.0 (2013). When I open it, it says
Emulator for Windows has stopped working. A program caused the program to stop working...
I installed the following on my machine and still doesnt seem to work:
Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 x86 and x64
Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 x86 and x64
Microsoft .NET 4.5 Latest
Java JDK (including JRE)
Latest Direct X from

Any ideas why it shows this message? Thanks. I am on Windows 7 64 bit.
You may need to install fonts for Emulator. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Samsung TV SDK 4\Emulator\Emulator2013_v4\bin\, open *.ttf files and select Install.
