Does windows 8 supports visual source safe (or the other way around?)
Aka, can you install visual source safe running windows 8?
My advice is, don't go closer to Visual SourceSafe than you can spit a rat. VSS has NEVER worked right. Data corruption is all too common. When I worked as an independent consultant to Microsoft in the late 1990's and spent some of my time in Redmond, I found out MS's little secret. Virtually none of the Microsoft development projects used their own VSS. Their internal source code control in the early '90s was a customized version of the old RCS file-based system. They then bought source code rights to Perforce and created a customized version of Perforce for their own use. Now, at least since Visual Studio 2012, they only officially support their own Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and Git. Support for only those two has been built into VS 2012 and newer IDEs.
Again, even the Microsoft programmers joke about VSS being a "code destruction device." If you already have a honking lot of projects in VSS 6 (which IIRC was built in 1998 and discontinued in 2006), you might want to track down the upgrade to VSS 2005, which is rare, but at least "supported" to whatever degree until sometime in 2017. I also have no idea if either is compatible with Windows 10 (I've installed 6.0 on Windows 7) I'm not sure it's any better, and Microsoft makes it very hard to find full or upgrade downloads of VSS 2005 on their site, but I recall seeing a link for it on one of the MS forums. Search for it.
OTOH, if you are not welded to VSS and don't want to use either TFSC or Git, Subversion (standalone) is a very good alternative (CVS is a dead issue and is not being supported). My current client has development teams using either Git or SVN for their .NET (yuck) projects.
DISCLAIMER: My personal experience (as StackOverflow wants to see for opinion posts) covers 40 years as a top-level software design and development consultant for primarily Fortune 50 companies, during which I have used extensively just about every major COTS and open-source make utility, bug-tracker, and version-control system available. I was a primary beta-tester for the original PVCS (Polytron Version Control System), later bought by Borland. I have also written a proprietary text delta-based version control system for Dow Jones in the early '90s.
We've got it to work.
When it says you'll have to close all running program's it isn't just being nice.
Yes, and in windows 10 too.
Copy and paste VSS from other computer in any folder in new computer.
For register in VB60 ide, execute SSINT.EXE
Find an run .EXE in VSS folder for other opcions
Yes. It can be installed in Windows 10 computers too.

I have no idea/experience in VB programming. One of my client bought me his old project which need to be modified. He says it is written in Visual Basic and no idea which version.
So how can i carry ON to work with this project by identifying the version
And what other components do i require to do the programming and user interface.
I already have Visual studio 2010 with me. So can i do my work using this software or i have to go for anything else...
Any suggestions....?

You need to check the earlier VS version. If the project was developed in earlier version of VS, you can upgrade to VS 2010 easily but otherwise you need to get hands on specific VS version.
Similarly if the project have database functionality or crystal report or any other external dependencies, you need to check their versions. You need to install the components according to these versions. Specify your versions and i'll tell you what to use for further development.
Are there any tools which i can use to diagnose performance issues with VisualStudio 2013 Premium edition?
I'm currently running the Update2 RC (however speed has been the same prior also). and have a few extensions running
Web Essentials for Update 2 RC
Rename Visual Studio Window Title
Productivity power tools
nunit test adapter
ReadyRoll.
On an Intel Xeon E3-1220 V2 3.10GHz, machine with 8G of RAM i frequently experience performance issues which seem out of character to the resource available to Visual Studio.
The example scenario is a webforms project in a solution which references 19 other library projects, which is controlled by an in house TFS2012. Browser link is disabled, and the solution is built and deployed against the local IIS rather than IISexpress etc.
having two instances of visual studio open which have versions of the solution from different branches appears to have a large impact on performance.
switching between two instances of Visual studio can often cause a hanging state for a minute.
pasting code(even a small paragraph) ontop of code in an existing file (aspx,.vb) can cause a minute or so hang.
You did check out this page? it contains some tips from microsoft for troubleshooting performance.
You could also use i.e. process monitor from sysinternals to check what VS is actually doing in regards to file and registry access.
Another tip could be to delete this C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\
VS 2012 has an excellent support for comparing database projects and databases.
I'm wondering if there is a standalone version for the respective software to use on a deployment machine - or some other way to use it without having to install the whole of visual studio.
You can install just the SSDT for SQL Project bits on a machine. That does not require a full install of either Visual Studio or SQL Server. You can generally keep an eye on the SSDT Blog for the latest release news. You can find that at: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/
At this time, the most recent release is the October 2013 release.
As noted in the various articles, you may need to make an Administrative Install Point if your target machine does not have internet access. Follow the instructions in the article and you should be fine.
I've written some articles about this on my blog at http://schottsql.blogspot.com if you look up the label for SSDT.
Using an arbitrary Windows machine (2000/XP or later), I can
install Eclipse CDT to a USB drive
move that USB drive onto a different
Windows machine--one that does not
have any form of Eclipse software
already installed, and potentially a different version of Windows (but 2000/XP or later)
use Eclipse to develop application-level C/C++ programs on that second machine (and that includes using the debugger), running directly from the USB drive without copying anything to C:.
I can do all this without having Administrator privileges on either machine.
I can do the same with NetBeans, and with several other IDEs that support C/C++ development.
Is it possible to do this with any version of Visual Studio Express?
If not, can you explain the technical reason(s) this doesn't work?
Eclipse is apparently designed to be what Microsoft calls an XCOPY deployment...meaning that it doesn't require any special entries in the Windows Registry (or any other "installation identity" on the target machine) in order to work properly.
Visual Studio is most decidedly not designed like this. It makes extensive modifications to the registry during installation, and those entries (and any other resources like special folder locations) will be missing on any other computer.
So you might be able to install Visual Studio on a thumb drive, but some artifacts of the installation will be put on the C: drive, and you will only be able to use the thumb drive with that machine.
Maybe you could install VS Express in a VM running from the USB drive using Portable VirtualBox or VMPlayer. Not the best performance but its usable for not too big projects or learning.
It can definitely be done! I've seen a technician with a copy of it on a USB stick. the only visible flaw was that when you run on a different PC it requires you to enter the license. I could not see any other problems (speed/debugger etc. it all worked on his copy).
check this out:

I believe the virtualized package I saw was made by this means:

Unfortunately it would be matter of experimenting with it...
No VM or extra software was needed!
I have an old dll that uses the Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 (7.1) run time package. Unfortunately I don't have that DLL around anymore. Short of reinstalling VS2003, is there another way to get the run time redistributable dll?
Storm's answer is not correct. No hard feelings Storm, and apologies to the OP as I'm a bit late to the party here (wish I could have helped sooner, but I didn't run into the problem until today, or this stack overflow answer until I was figuring out a solution.)
The Visual C++ 2003 runtime was not available as a seperate download because it was included with the .NET 1.1 runtime.
If you install the .NET 1.1 runtime you will get msvcr71.dll installed, and in addition added to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.
The .NET 1.1 runtime is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en (23.1 MB)
If you are looking for a file that ends with a "P" such as msvcp71.dll, this indicates that your file was compiled against a C++ runtime (as opposed to a C runtime), in some situations I noticed these files were only installed when I installed the full SDK. If you need one of these files, you may need to install the full .NET 1.1 SDK as well, which is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b3a2ca6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d (106.2 MB)
After installing the SDK I now have both msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll in my System32 folder, and the application I'm trying to run (boomerang c++ decompiler) works fine without any missing DLL errors.
Also on a side note: be VERY aware of the difference between a Hotfix Update and a Regular Update. As noted in the linked KB932298 download (linked below by Storm): "Please be aware this Hotfix has not gone through full Microsoft product regression testing nor has it been tested in combination with other Hotfixes."
Hotfixes are NOT meant for general users, but rather users who are facing a very specific problem. As described in the article only install that Hotfix if you are have having specific daylight savings time issues with the rules that changed in 2007. -- Likely this was a pre-release for customers who "just couldn't wait" for the official update (probably for some business critical application) -- for regular users Windows Update should be all you need.
Thanks, and I hope this helps others who run into this issue!
After a bit of googling, it seems that there never was a separate redistributable for Visual C++ 2003 (7.1). At least that is what a post on the microsoft forum says.
You may however be able to extract the runtime DLLs from the VC 7.1 DST timezone update.
the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/6132093/1498669 is right.
There is also an update to both 2002 and 2003 runtimes
just do an search on microsoft download
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search?q=mfc70
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search?q=mfc71
and you find the offical updates to the products
however, the latest patches seem to be:

I think this is what you're looking for: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
