I am using TeamCity to build and prepare a Windows Forms application. I've got a few projects in the solution, one of these being the .isproj which is an Installshield Project. I'm using the free developer version that Installshield so nicely provide for us.
However, TeamCity obviously can't build this, because the box doesn't have Installshield installed.
I can't install the same version because it requires Visual Studio, which is a bit of a pain.
Does anyone know if there is a free version that we could use on our Build Server to generate the artefacts for release?

I am not sure if InstallShield LE is available in the VS Express edition, which you could install on your build machine.
Another alternative would be to use another tool, for example Advanced Installer also has integration with VS and full command line support, so you can integrate it in your build machine. Also, you can install it separately on the build machine, without any edition of VS. It has the "Simple" project in the free edition, any other project types require a commercial license.

Supposedly, nuget 3.0 has been released. VS2015 ships with 3.0 baked in. However, NuGet.CommandLine seems to be stuck at 2.8.6 (https://www.nuget.org/packages/NuGet.CommandLine) which means products like TeamCity won't upgrade to 3.0.
Where can I find the nuget for nuget 3.0?
There's no command line for v3 yet, although they plan to release it soon, as the discussion in the NuGet 3.0 Released blog post implies.
However, you can download the 3.1.0 beta, if you want, from here: http://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v3.1.0-beta/nuget.exe
Teamcity now is properly integrated with NuGet 3.x. You can follow the following steps to install a specific version: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD9/NuGet#NuGet-InstallingNuGettoTeamCityagents
Nuget can update itself by the command line:
nuget.exe update -self

I have perl script for scraping which uses WWW::Mechanize::Firefox and firefox addon MozRepl.
Now, i need to deploy it on a web hosting server. The problem is that the they don't provide any interface or UI terminal so that i can launch firefox and launch it from there .
Can anyone tell me a way to install MozRepl addon in Firefox from the shell or by any other means
You can use the python tool used, CFX, to develop the SDK and addons to automate installing of addons. In the future, we'd like to be able to install addons with the Firefox binary command line flags

Yes i have used TightVNC server/viewer to connect to server with GUI, and then installed the required modules using the interface.

Our team is starting to use Vagrant for development on Mac OS X machines so we can better simulate our Red Hat Enterprise Linux production environment. Our operations group says our Red Hat License only covers instances being run on our VMWare cluster. How do other people deal with RHEL licensing using Vagrant?
We were in the same situation and decided to use CentOS on our developer boxes. https://www.centos.org/
I downloaded basic rhel server I found online and built a vagrant box with Packer for use in Vagrant/Test Kitchen. I'm forced to use various other repositories (CentOS/EPEL/RPMFusion etc) instead of the RHN repos which I don't have access to without licensing. I actually wrote a small chef cookbook to write all the custom /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files after initial install. It definitely works for a dev environment. If you have access to different ISOs then you can built whatever versions of rhel that you need with Packer.

Have you also checked the developer subscriptions?

There is a blog specifying how to use vagrant with RHEL... but I can't post 3 links :(
Here is a proposal (I am using this approach since I am also working with rhel vagrant boxes for running ansible scripts)
Create a red hat developers account here (click on register).
Download an rhel vagrant box from here (you will have to log in with your previously created account.
Fire up your box and ssh into it.
Follow these instructions to register your vm

Is there a TFS plugin for use with sharp develop? From what i can see on google, there were a couple of summer of code projects in this general direction but i cant seem to find a definitive answer.
Alternatively if there is no plugin, what are my options for TFS clients?
Without support built-in to the SharpDevelop IDE, the easiest option would be to use the TFS Windows Shell Extensions to interact with TFS from Windows Explorer. See towards the bottom of this post for more information - although it mentions TFS 2008, the feature is much the same in 2010.
To start using these, you will need to do the following:
Install Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 (to get the TFS object
model on your machine), (Note, you can also get the object model w/o VS by googling 'TFS Object Model Free', currently at this link: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a37e19fb-3052-4fc9-bef7-4a4682069a75 )
Install the Team Foundation Server Power Tools
Browse to a folder on your machine that is mapped in a a TFS workspace (establish one first if you need to)
You should then be able to right-click the files and choose Team Foundation Server > Check-In (or similar)

I want to switch my OS from Windows XP to but as a software developer I am worried about that will I able to install/run the development tool successfully [Software like: Visual Studio, Sql Server, PHP ... other related tool].
Which OS will be the best subsitute for the Microsoft Windows XP/7, from a developer point of view?
This really depends what platform you want to develop the software for. If you are writing Windows programs, Microsoft makes great developer tools which of course run on Windows. The effective tools to develop Mac software are (no surprise) available on Macs. So there's really only a choice if you're targeting cross-platform or Linux. You can use virtual machines to construct whatever testing environments you need, so the main choice is your preference.
Since you sound like you are interested in experimenting with new environments, I would suggest you try Linux. I primarily use Emacs with GNU Global and GDB in Linux to do all my development, and I have benefited from other tools like strace and Valgrind. Eclipse is also available, and I hear it's nice. Since you're used to MS tools, I'll warn you that the open-source stuff isn't as polished or as integrated as MS's stuff appears to be, but it's certainly capable.
Well, if you need Microsoft-based software, such as Visual Studio and SQL Server, the best choice of OS will probably be a Microsoft one...
After that, you might want to run some Virtual Machines, for PHP / Linux development.
