I was playing with some VS 2022 extension development and I ran the vsix project in debug mode with "Start external program" set to
"E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
Command line was: /rootsuffix Exp
I was running it OK. I was able to see a new VS 2022 instance and I loaded a solution, closed it and open another.
When I stopped running vsix project in debug mode. I closed that project.
Then when using normal VS 2022 to open a solution with many files suddenly I could not open any project due to unsupported project type error.
Its seems the experimental flag changed something in the registry and invalidated my normal VS 2022.
I tried running:
devenv /rootsuffix Exp /updateconfiguration
and
Reset the Visual Studio 2022 Experimental Instance.lnk
It didn't help.
How can I get back my VS 2022 back?
I had a lot of extensions installed and I hope someone can help.
When I am trying to install CMake I get the error:
Visual Studio 15 2017 could not find any instance of Visual Studio.
I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2017. The CMakeOutput.log file writes:
The system is: Windows - 6.1.7601 - AMD64
Any ideas?
I ran into the same error and performed the following steps to resolve the issue:
Open Visual Studio
Go to Tools -> Get Tools and Features
In the "Workloads" tab enable "Desktop development with C++"
Click Modify at the bottom right
These steps resulted in the "Visual C++ tools for CMake" feature being installed, but the other optional C++ features included in this workload may also helpful for what you are trying to do.
After the Visual Studio updater finishes installing try re-running the command. You may need to open a new command window.
In my case, I installed Visual Studio, selecting the workloads and modules that I wanted, but I ignored the request to reboot, assuming that shutting down the computer at the end of the day and restarting it the following day would suffice. I was wrong.
The following day I tried a cmake build and got the "could not find any instance of Visual Studio" error. After several attempts to resolve, I re-ran the installer, made no changes to the configuration, and clicked Modify. This time I let it reboot the computer. The reboot took a long time. After which my cmake build worked.
If you have already installed the workload Desktop development with C++ and still getting the following errors while using visual studio 2022 for flutter
Generator
Visual Studio 16 2019
could not find any instance of Visual Studio.
Building Windows application...
Exception: Unable to generate build files"
Solution: Follow these steps,
Edit your_flutter_path\packages\flutter_tools\lib\src\windows\build_windows.dart, and change the constant on line 28 from Visual Studio 16 2019 to Visual Studio 17 2022
Delete flutter_tools.stamp and flutter_tools.snapshot from your_flutter_path\bin\cache\
Run flutter clean in the project
I had the same issue "could not find any instance of Visual Studio"
but with Visual Studio 2019 (Community Edition) and I just had to configure the VS160COMNTOOLS variable so that CMake correctly detects Visual Studio.
export VS160COMNTOOLS="/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/Common7/Tools"
(cf https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/generator/Visual%20Studio%2016%202019.html)
With Visual Studio 15 2017, the variable you need should be VS150COMNTOOLS.
(cf https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/generator/Visual%20Studio%2015%202017.html)
NB: in my case, in a Travis-CI workflow, I installed Visual Studio using the commands (no need to reboot):
choco install visualstudio2019community
choco install visualstudio2019-workload-nativedesktop # required
With only the first package, CMake detection of VS2019 failed.
I was configuring a Jenkins build node and could successfully run CMake GUI manually but command line use or builds using the CMake plugin would fail with:
Visual Studio 16 2019 could not find instance of Visual Studio.
-A x64 parameter was added with no change in result.
The problem was that CMake could not determine the Windows SDK version.
By adding CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION parameter CMake was then able to find Visual Studio.
-D CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0.18362.0 (use your windows SDK version)
Environment:
windows 10 system build: 19042
CMAKE 3.19.4
VS 2019 Professional 16.8.4
Jenkins 2.235.1
Full command line that worked:
"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake" -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -A x64 -D CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0.18362.0
When using VS 2017, be aware that this is really VS 2015, and CMake identified it as VS 2017 2022 which is not the version of VS 2017 I had, that gave me this error. So the conclusion I offer is to try different versions, specifically the 2015 one.
I had a similar issue where installing libzmq in my npm project was throwing the same error and that wasn't getting solved by enabling "msbuild" under "Desktop development with C++" in the Visual Studio installer.
My solution ended up being to reinstall the Windows build tools for npm with the following command.
npm install --global windows-build-tools
Note: Remember to run the command prompt (or whatever terminal you are using) as admin before running this.
If the CMake used to work with the installed Visual Studio and is broken someday, then the problem could be VS requires system reboot to complete some update.
For quick verification, rename HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup\Reboot to like HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup\Reboot.bak, then re-run cmake which should succeed. Don't forget to rename the registry back and reboot the system if this is the problem.
In my case, I was selecting different version of visual studio in that configuration dialog box whereas I installed different version.
Do select the same version.
Above solutions did not solve this issue for me. After installing node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ apparently a correct version of windows-build-tools was installed
I reinstalled the Visual Studio 2019(my former one is 2017 version ) with all those settings required(my cmake version is 3.23.0),and it works. So try to install different versions.
In my case, the problem was gone after I deleted the previous cmake result directory and then ran cmake again.
if you have installed two or more Windows 10 SDK, delete them excluding latest one.
Try downloading the windows-build-tools package.
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2015
This step should be the end-all-be-all solution to fixing node-gyp problems. For most people, that’s true. NPM has a package called windows-build-tools that should automatically install everything you need to get node-gyp working, including the Microsoft build tools, compilers, Python, and everything else required to build native Node modules on Windows.
When working with either a Custom or Standard Form in AX 7, right-clicking on the Design Node, Grid Container, Group Control etc. Visual Studio freezes for a couple of seconds then displays this error message: "One or more error occurred".
This is not isolated on my development VM, coworkers also experiencing the same issue.
Anyone ran into this problem?
I think I remember running into this and you can follow these steps to clear the cache.
Delete the contents from the following folders
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon
Go to the Visual Studio IDE folder in command prompt and Run the following command “devenv /resetuserdata” from the Visual Studio IDE folder.
Typical location for 64 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
Typical location for 32 bit: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE

I have encountered the following problem during a routine Qt 5 installation combined with Visual Studio 2015:
I did these steps:
Installed visual studio 2015 enterprise
Updated it to Update 3 (recent)
Installed X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us + 32bit
Installed Qt 5.6
I inspected the automatic detection of compiler, debuggers and the build environment comparing it to another machine, and all look OK.
Created new test projects using empty console application, Qt quick.
All fail during compilation step, with exactly 20 errors:
20 compile errors
I noted that the errors appears in code files of VC++ include path
for example in the code file xtr1common (first error in the picture).
I installed and used Qt with MSVC including MSVC Update 2 many times before but not with Update 3. What went wrong? How do I fix the problem?
Just go to windows updates and remove the visual studio update 3. This will return visual studio to original status including the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\INCLUDE folder.
I hope there is a better answer than this because I needed the visual studio update 3 for other purposes than Qt. But what to do if the Qt 5.6.1 is not compatible with Visual Studio 2015 update 3. If someone have a better answer please hit me.
I have downloaded Qt for Visual Studio 2008 for Windows 4.8.1.
I have run configure.exe from the command prompt.
But I can not find nmake.exe or make.exe anywhere in my "C:\QT\4.8.1" - directory.
Therefore, I am unable to use Qt with Visual Studio 2008.
What to do now?
nmake is the make that comes with Visual Studio.
You should have run whatever instructions you're following from a Visual Studio command line prompt, which contains all the right PATH settings for using nmake and cl on the command line.
Okay. Finally, I found my solution.
Step (1). Download and Install QT for Visual Studio 2008 4.8.1.
Step (2). Download and Install QT Visual Studio Addin 1.1.10.
Nothing else is needed at all.
Now I am able to Create, Compile and Run my "Hello World"- QT application straightaway.
You could use QT Creator as your IDE instead. I found getting it up and running is fairly issue-free.
