Visual Studio 2010 Shell Invalid License Data Reinstall Is Required 2013
Hi, I have recently managed to install VS 2012 on Windows 7 x64 without problem. Earlier I hade VS2010 installed and I had problem uninstalling it properly. I got the message 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x64) Package failed.' On the VS2012 setup. The problem layed in VS 2010 SP1, after successfuly uninstalling this, I could also successfuly install VS 2012. With VS2012 I also have these applications installed under program and functions: (further down in the thread).
But, now when I try to open an existing VS 2010 project I emediately got the message 'Message Visual studio 2010 shell invalid license data. Reinstall is required'. Some people on the net i suggesting a reinstall of the SQL Server Data Tools, so I tested this, but it doesn't help. The error still remains. Does anyone know the reason for this and how to solve it? Hi, I understood that you had trouble uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 correctly. So from your description I would guess that you have some parts left on your computer that are causing the problems.
My experience with Visual Studio 2010 is always: - First uninstall SP1 (Through control panel) - Then use the Visual Studio 2010 uninstall tool I am not sure that the uninstall tool can solve this issue right now. I would give it a try: Afterwards a repair of VS 2012 might be usefull. The reson behind your problem might be: The solution files are not opened directly in Visual Studio.
Instead a small tool is started which checks the version and then starts the correct Visual Studio. That is quite nice because it enables you to have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed in parallel and you can simply double click a solution. So my guess would be that some parts of Visual Studio 2010 is still installed on your system and that it tries to start it which then fails with the given error message. I hope this reply was helpfull already.
But I will move the thread to the Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum next for better support. With kind regards, Konrad. Hi, I've already done as you suggest.
I succesfully removed VS 2010, Visual Studio Office Runtime x64 components and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. I confirmed that they disapeared from 'control panel/program and functions'. But as you could see on the other thread, I was puzzled by the fact that Windows Update (through or own wsus) shortly afterwards demanded and installed several.NET 4 Framework related stuff (as you can see in the screen dumps in the other thread). Maybe thats cause of my installation of MS SQL Server 2008 R2 components!?
I question: You say 'That is quite nice because it enables you to have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed in parallel and you can simply double click a solution.' It's exactly what I want.
I colleague said that one can use VS 2012 for both VS 2010 and VS 2012 projects, as long as VS 2010 projects are SP1 projects. Even code, compile and save and still having them as VS 2010 projects, still possible to open in VS 2010. Have I understood it correct, that this does not mean that I also need to install VS 2010 in my machine?
It's all supported by VS 2012, right? Thanks, I'm gonna look into that info page. It's a bit anoying that Microsoft had the necessity to change so much in this release of VS and doing the product so much more into a paradigm shift. Making it hard to combine, both between a VS 2010 installation on the same machine, but also project compatibility between different development environments. Personally I liked the VS 2010 much better. Now VS is a bit like a monochrome 'motionsicknes ride', with a complete new layout.
Isn't it possible to make a more time sustainable working environment for the developer, thus still adding more tools and functionality under the hood and behind new plugins and extensions within the IDE? I'm working on a game in the UDK engine (Unreal Development Kit) and ran into the same problem setting up VS 2010 stand alone shell, Express and the VS 2010 C IDE itself. I tried them all, install, uninstall, re-install. The subinacl tool with various.cmd files,including my own. I nearly destroyed my system tearing through my registry trying to hunt down the problem and fix permission fix permissions (There's too many of them (in a Harrison Ford, Han Solo voice)).
In any case, I found this tool at a web site I sometimes use. It saved me A LOT of time and did the trick for me. Tweaking.com - Reset Registry Permissions It was the only thing that ALLOWED me to reset the permissions correctly and get up and running again. Read up on it and see if it's for you. It worked me. And now I have a smiley face:-) EDIT: I haven't been on MSDN in nearly 10 years. It's good to be back!
I did a Google search on the error message and found lots of reports of this issue with other Microsoft installs. Seems to have a lot of useful information, including a suggestion that an incorrectly set system clock or expiring time-of-year battery can trigger this. I'm less enthusiastic about the recommendations to edit registry entries. I think I would suggest an uninstall, delete the Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 folder, make sure your system clock is set correctly, reboot, then reinstall.
Let me know what happens. Some further reading suggests that an install of Microsoft SQL Server can trigger this problem. Supposedly a reinstall of SQL Server Data Tools can fix it. I see a LOT of MS tool users have encountered this problem, but proposed solutions are all over the map and many point to Microsoft web pages that no longer exist. What happens if you right click on the link for VS2010 Shell and select 'Run as Administrator'? (Do you have administrator rights?) I will ask our VS team if they have any ideas, but as I said, the VS install is sort of a black box to us.
Visual Studio 2010 Shell Invalid License Data Reinstall Is Required 2013
Originally I tried installing Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Windows. (incl. Microsoft Visual Studio Shell and Libraries.) 2013 SP1 Update 4 with my existing MS Visual Studio Express 2010 SP1/SDK7.1/SQLServer/etc. After installation, I noticed that MS Shell (Int) was not installed as I expected.
Unfortunately this is where I started the nightmare of trying to install MS Shell 2010 (downloaded from MSDN website) on top of my existing VS Express 2010. Do not do this, it will not work. After uninstalling all programs related to MS Visual Studio Express 2010 SP1, SDK 7.1, SQL Server, and associated Redistributables (and MS VS Shell), reinstalling all (except MS VS Shell) according to (one thing to note is, originally, maybe a year and a half ago, I had installed all MS products according to the same instructions) and reinstalling Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Windows.
(incl. Microsoft Visual Studio Shell and Libraries.) SP1 Update 4, I am finally able to compile. On installation of the Intel compiler, the MS VS Shell was installed as part of the package. Thanks everyone for your time, Candice.
