Problem: I can't open the installed program on other computers.
I created a program on visual studio 2010 with database created on sql server 2008 express. When i created the setup and install it on MY OWN PC, it runs properly together with its database. When i try to install it on other computers, it successfully installed but i cant open. When in double click the shortcut, even the .exe, it is not responding. The application is not opening/running.
Any ideas?
Your application is probably trying to connect to a database that doesn't exist. You'll need to install SQL Express on the computer where you installed the software.

I am building a VB.NET application in VS2013 that uses a database created in SQL Server 2012 (which is installed locally and on the only computer that the application will be run on).
I need to execute a SQL script when the user clicks on a button. I know that I need to Import resources from SMO but when I run the SharedManagementObjects.msi installer I get a message that says,
"Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects failed
because a higher version already exists on the machine. To proceed,
uninstall the higher version and then run Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Management Objects Setup again."
What do I need to do to get SMO installed to use in my project?
I am assuming you are using nuget??
It appears that you must have 2014 installed, search for this in your installed packages and click uninstall. Now try and install the 2012 version.
Or in the Package Manager Console:
Uninstall-Package Unofficial.Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO.2014
Followed by:
Install-Package Unofficial.Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO
http://www.nuget.org/packages/Unofficial.Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO.2014/
I have a student who installed SQL Server 2014 with tools, but the Management Studio part did not install. There is no SSMMS.EXE on the machine.
So I tried to reinstall it, and the Management Studio tools come up checked but grayed out, so the SQL Installer will not let me make any changes.
So I tried to uninstall SSMS from the control panel-->uninstall programs. However, it was not there.
So I uninstalled all SQL Server programs, then I killed all running instances, then I deleted all the MSSQLServer files under both program files and program files (x64). Then I updated Visual Studio 2010. Then I tried to reinstall SQL Server.
Again, the tools appeared, but they were checked and grayed out.
Soooo. SQL server thinks the SSMS tools are installed and thus will not let me reinstall them. However, they are not installed, so I cannot remove them.
Any idea how to convince SQL server that the tools are in fact absent?
Caution incomplete answer but several more things to try:
1) Could you provide the link to the download you're using - potentially SQL Server management studio (SSMS) is not included so thus can't be installed? From reading the FAQ's this looks to be the case (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh322942)
Try this link for installing http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
2) Another thread covers a potentially related instance where express was also installed and caused a block to install SSMS.
(Can't install SQL Server 2008 R2 management tool (complete))
3) A long shot would be if anything is left over in the registry which is causing the block. See if there is still and entry in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server] and if so rename to "_bkp"
The last two suggests are long shots but you could try:
4) Try repairing the installation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc646006.aspx
5) Try installing as logged in as another user.
I am trying to install VS 2010 in my PC but when I clicked on setup file it shows an error like:
unalble to find/load htmllite.dll
But htmllite.dll already exists within the file.
The same thing is happening again when I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008
unalble to find/load setup.rll
But I already have setup.rll file.
After you mount the image, do not run directly, but copy all the files into a folder on your computer , and after that run setup.exe. I had the same issue with microsoft visual studio 2010 on my laptop with windows 8. Good luck!
If you are not able to connect to TFS VS2010 from VS2008. This might save you some time.
Connecting from VS2008 to TFS VS2010
Step:1 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with Sql Server 2008
Step:2 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with VS2008
Step:3 Make sure that Team Explorer is installed in VS 2008
Step:4 Make sure that Service pack 1 is updated for Team Explorer
Step:5 After all these Service Packs are installed on your machine, follow the below path
CmdPrompt> regedit
Hkey_Current_User>Software>Microsoft>VisualStudio>9.0>TeamFoundation> Right Click Servers>New>String Value
Give the complete URL path which look like ‘http://swstfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection’
Step:6 Close everything and open VS2008
File>Open>TeamProject
Step: 7 Connect.
I connected to TFS, but the problem is while I am trying to open the solution through VS2008 into TFS it is showing me an error
"This project (fmPilot.SSIS.ClientIntegrations.sln) cannot be opened from source control because it was created by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio that is incompatible with this one.
If this is the case, you may be able to open it from source control using that version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and then use Microsoft Visual Studio to open the local copy."
I also tried it through VS2010 but it is showing me an error
"Cannot be openned because its project type(/dtproj) is not supported bby this version of the application."
Can somebody help me on that..... I google it some says that permission might be the reason.. Please help me...
Thanks,

Make sure that you have Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) installed on your machine. Having just Visual Studio 2008 doesn't mean that you can open SSIS packages.
To verify whether you have BIDS installed:
Open Visual Studio 2008 IDE. Click Help and About Microsoft Visual Studio.
Make sure that you see SQL Server Integration Service.
Another way to verify is by trying to create a new project in VS 2008. You should see Business Intelligence Projects under Project types.
If you do not see this, then it means you don't have BIDS installed on your local machine. You can install BIDS by installing SQL Server 2008 client tools.
Following link shows how to install SQL Server 2008 client tools.

I went to create a SP2010 Workflow project in VS2010, and it complained that I did not have SP Server installed on my machine.
Well, I do not want to install SP2010 on my dev machine. I have a perfectly good dev instance installed onto a VM.
Is it possible at all to design SP 2010 workflow projects in VS2010 without having a local instance of Sharepoint?
Cheers,
Daniel
Well, it looks like the answer is "No, you must have SP2010 installed locally"
Will VS let you continue after receiving that message?
Microsoft recommendation is to install Visual Studio on the your DEV VM (running Windows Server 2008 R2) that has SharePoint running. You'll also get additional debug features by doing this, like F5 debugging/breakpoints, and auto deploy/retract of your solutions.
