Hi Soma, Loving VS 2013 RTM. I'm converting a project from VS 2010 to VS 2013. Unfortunately I'm hitting the same issues developers complained about when converting projects from VS 2010 to VS 2012. Please perform the this Internet search: "visual studio 2013 ca0053 error running code analysis ca0053 unable to load rule assembly " Reported on connect here: connect.microsoft.com/.../error-ca0053-due-to-failure-to-load-rules-dll-when-running-code-analysis On the forums here: social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../failure-when-running-code-analysis-in-visual-studio-2012-when-using-fxcop-aspnet-security-rules So today, I'm editing all my project files to remove the problems. This is not a good upgrade story. Someone should be able to get a tool released soon that takes a VS 2010 or VS 2012 project and converts the project file to VS 2013. Not sure why this issue was not addressed in VS 2013 after being reported and customer complained about it. Thank you and have a super day, Karl karlshifflett.wordpress.com

Why does the Compatibility page say "Requires side-by-side installation of Visual Studio 2010" for targeting Server 2003? I don't see a reason why applications built with v120_xp toolset shouldn't work on Server 2003 and 2003 R2. Or is there something missing from v120_xp, some server-specific perhaps?

Thank you for this great release. Especially as a C++ developer I like the performance increases of the IDE (didn't thought that it would be possible to speed that up again) and the advancements in C++ 11 compliance. Only one grief is left, which would make it a perfect release for me. C# still doesn't support environment variables in output paths, though MSBuild does. Many complaints about have been rejected it would be to complicated to implement that. Anyways I think it would be highly appreciated. Besides that, I like VS2013 very much!

So it won't install without IE10. I work in a global multinational company with over 150,000 workstations and it's only now just looking at rolling out IE9. Why? Because it has thousands of in-house applications and it can't simply deploy the latest technology without being certain it won't disrupt business. Microsoft needs to have a deeper understanding its customers instead of arrogantly trying to force them to upgrade when they don't have to. Exactly what is so crucial about having IE10 installed in order to use VS2013? If it doesn't address the dreadful performance issues of VS2012 then I'm not interested anyway, and will recommend a review of our bulk purchasing of MSDN subscriptions.

+1 on needing a deeper understanding of its customers. VS 2013 does not work with TFS 2008 so while the decision to use VS 2013 rests with the product manager, the version of TFS available is decided at group-IT level - needless to say we won't be upgrading to VS 2013 anytime soon.

In my opinion, there haven't been any significant improvements since 2008. For me, significant improvements would mean improvements to the web form controls. There have been none. Building in the AJAX functionality would be a start. The most pathetic one is the ImageMap. There's no editor to add hotspots, and you can't see the hotspots at runtime. VB3 was better.

VS2013 requires IE10? Then, there are going to be a lot of corporate IT developers that can't install it. My corporation doesn't allow IE10 because of the issues it causes with some key financial software (not your fault, Oracle's fault), but I even elected to uninstall it when it first appeared due to it's periodic disconnected issues causing pages to initially render without styling. Please remove this requirement from VS2013. So much for my anticipated F# 3.1 and TFS 2013 features.

@Andre Kaufmann: We're glad you like the improvements in VC++. @Stefanos Anastasiou: Yes, it does. Semantic colorization is something that we added in Visual Studio 2012 (blogs.msdn.com/.../10200097.aspx). It's one of my favorite features. We also added more IDE improvements in Visual Studio 2013. My favorite this time around is automatic code formatting (blogs.msdn.com/.../c-ide-improvements-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx).

Fortunately, it doesn't actually need IE10 in order to install, it just needs to think that it's installed. visualstudio.uservoice.com/.../4153040-remove-the-requirment-for-internet-explorer-10-to- Anyone from MS care to tell us what exactly is it in VS2013 that requires IE10, so that we can be sure to avoid it? I'm pretty sure that the VC++ compiler doesn't, and I would hope that the editor doesn't, which are about the only things that I care about.

Will this version have any update plan(s)? I wonder when these could all be fixed: code generating bugs connect.microsoft.com/.../initializer-list-calls-object-destructor-twice Unmatched 'const's. Many classes have the member function overloads which have same expression except for different 'const' properties, and there are many Traits in multi-inheritances. connect.microsoft.com/.../this-pointer-is-not-corrected-when-calling-method-imported-from-base-class-by-a-using-declaration connect.microsoft.com/.../c-function-template-overload-resolution-differs-from-both-gcc-and-clang The C++11 code in rvalue will be broken, as the test of mine the issue is not limited at the std::move but many places including std::forward and self-defined rv-casts. Especially, this issue means that the strings(normal texts, not the string classes) can't be well proceeded through the rvalue processors. connect.microsoft.com/.../problem-comping-c-11-code-using-move-semantics Note that some of those are found after the rtm version has released (later than Oct.5, unfortunately)... The version 2013 is much better than vs2012 in either code generatings or C++11 std supporting, but those bugs brokes code not so rarely.

@Peter Why don't use the Windows Embedded OS. The CE is far less good than those and the software for it won't be easy to share the code with the developing platforms. Developing for CE is painful and time wasting comparison to the developing for PC/Embedded OS. I know someone like CE dev.more than PC/embedded but it's still less worthness in the long term.

Why is that Microsoft does not provide Sketchflow with Visual Studio Express editions or a simplified version of Sketchflow? Microsoft states that Sketchflow comes with the Ultimate and Premium editions of Visual Studio but also states that great products begin with great design when Sketchflow is discussed. Sketchflow would be a great help to any developer.

@Simon Dan As an FYI, Windows Embedded 8 costs about $50-$70 per license while Windows Embedded Compact (CE) runs $3-$15 per license. Windows Embedded Compact has a much smaller footprint than Windows Embedded 8 and can run quite well on systems where Embedded 8 wouldn't run at all. While I currently don't do embedded development, I found the lack of support in Visual Studio after 2008 disappointing, if not inexcusable since CE isn't going away.

The lack of a bona-fide title bar makes it hard to tell when the app has system focus.
The presence of a heavy blue bar under the app is disconcerting and looks upside down.
The lack of borders around user interface elements makes the app seem half-finished, like a freeware product from the Internet in the early-2000's.
The icons are small, dark, and consequently hard-to-interpret.
Why did you deny the developer community's request for more color? We have to stare at this thing all day.

On the system requirements page it says that VS 2013 Ultimate requires IE 10. However yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my machine and realized that it has IE 11. So I would like to know if VS 2013 will still work with IE 11 or not. Logically speaking IE 11 shouldn't be an issue because it is higher than 10. However I would like to know if there are people out there who have successfully installed VS 2013 Premium/Ultimate etc. on Windows 8.1 with IE 11 on it. Thanks.

Further to my previous comment: VS Express 2013 for Windows will not install on Windows 7 SP1 with either the iso or web installer. VS Express 2013 for Windows Desktop does install on Windows 7 SP1 with the web installer. I didn't try the iso. Note that the system requirements list on the download page for both versions of VS Express indicate Windows 7 SP1 is compatible.

I have been trying for a week now to download Visual Studio 2013 from the MS web site but I keep getting a "This page can't be displayed message". If a downloader is involved I am not being given an opportunity to install it. Device: Lenovo Thinkpad W530 series (i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.4GHz OS: Windows 7 64-bit 8 GB memory Thank you for your help in advance.

@MoDotNet - I'm not aware of any issues with the download page, but you can report a bug at connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio if you continue to have problems.

No go, I can't even post a bug because they want all information (pertinent or otherwise) in order for me to submit a bug. I enter the info and it just takes me back to the edit my profile page.

Target XP ? Ok but ... If program runs well on Seven or 8 but fails on XP, can VS2013 be installed on XP (32 bits) to debug it ?
Anonymous

@Phillipe - No, VS2013 cannot remote debug XP. See www.visualstudio.com/.../visual-studio-2013-compatibility-vs for complete details.

We have MS Visual Studio 2005 and for some reason we want to use visual studio for a Project. Is there any option available for us to upgrade it to MS Visual Studio 2013 or do we need to buy a new copy of 2013
