Installing Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8

Question

I have recently installed Windows 8 Preview. I would like to install Visual studio 2012. The problem is VS 2012 is looking for .Net 4.5.x. When I install .Net 4.5.x, it tells me that it is already part of the operating system. Any workarounds ?

Answer 1

The latest Visual Studio RTM versions won't install on Windows 8 Release Preview. You can try one of RC versions:

Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 RC http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29917

Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 RC for Windows 8 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29915

Answer 2

To solve the issue download Visual Studio 2012 though Microsoft Dream Spark, rather than any other source i had the same issue on two separate machines.... this fixed both.

I hope this helps everyone.

Thanks Andrew.
