Could we generate windows8 deployable binaries/.xap from mobilefirst without having visual studio?
MobileFirst Studio does not generate "deployables" (binary files such as .xap, .ipa, .apk, .bar and so on) for any of its supported environments. You must use either Xcode, Android Studio, Visual Studio or any other supported tool by the required environment in order to generate its "deployable".

I installed VS 2022 Community and am trying to work on a project that was developed on VS 2008 Pro. VS is giving me this report:
How do I force VS to make whatever upgrades it needs in order to run this program? I can provide more info if needed.
MS in their wisdom, dropped support for the Setup & Deployment project, can't remember when exactly, then after a bit of an uproar re-instated it through the Visual Studio marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioClient.MicrosoftVisualStudio2017InstallerProjects
Since your project has a file .vddproj, it might be a Smart Device CAB project.
It is not supported by later versions of visual studio.
It is recommended that you open it with VS2008.
I have installed SSAS and created a project. After two months working with seas, now when creating a new project, the analysis service is not available. but I can open old SSAS projects. How I can create another new SSAS project.
In Visual Studio (Open as Admin):
- Go to "Tools" >> "Extensions and Updates..."
- In the left pane, click on "Online"
- In the Search box on the top right enter "SSDT"
- check if the Extension "Microsoft Analysis Services Projects" is installed
In case it is installed and you still cannot choose Analysis Services as New Projects, you need to un-install the Extension and follow the instructions on the following website and install SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools):

Visual Studio 2019: Install Extension "Microsoft Analysis Services Projects"
Visual Studio 2017: Either install Extension, if that doesn't work for you, intall SSDT with the standalone installer: Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.4)
Visual Studio 2015 and earlier: Install via SSDT standalone installer required
It depends on which version of Visual Studio you are using. In 2015 everything needed to be installed via the standalone installer SSDT. In 2017 both the standalone installer and extensions exist, whereas in 2019 the standalone installer got replaced by the extensions. The super confusing part is, that there is the option to install "SSDT" during the installation of Visual Studio. Unfortunately installing SSDT during installing Visual Studio does not include Analysis/Reporting/ Integration Services.
I currently have a PowerBuilder application that I recently migrated to PowerBuilder 2017 from PowerBuilder 12.5. I was using CruiseControl.net with Orca scripts to build my PowerBuilder projects. However the machine I was using to build also had PowerBuilder installed on it. I would like to migrate this PowerBuilder project to TeamCity. Would I need to install PowerBuilder on my TeamCity server to accomplish this or is it possible to do this without that similar to how you can build a Visual Studio project with just the Visual Studio build tools? We have a finite number of PowerBuilder developer licenses and would prefer to not have to use them just for build machines.
In the process of creating an Hybrid app while adding other environmenent i mean adding apple and android thus it requires the necessary sdk to be preinstalled in eclipse help pls ?
MobileFirst Studio generates for you the native project for each environment.
iOS: an Xcode project is generated. You then need to open it in Xcode, which requires a Mac.
Windows/Windows Phone: a Visual Studio project is generated. You then need to open it in Visual Studio, which requires a PC running Windows 8 or above
Android: for the native project to be generated, you need to:
either install the Android ADT plug-in for Eclipse
or setup Android Studio and open the project there
Much like your previous question, the answer to this is in the Getting Started training materials. Please read them: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/setting-up-your-development-environment/
PhoneGap Build affords the opportunity to build for various platforms "in the cloud"
Is something similar available with Visual Studio Online - can one develop Windows 8 apps, even when their local/client machine is Windows 7?
Visual Studio Online is basically a source control repository, so no. https://stackoverflow.com/tags/visual-studio-online/info.
The key point would be build. You can build your app on Visual Studio Online (in the same way that TFS can do nightly builds), but you still need the Windows 8 SDK to develop the app, which means you need Windows 8.
