What VS2010 setup project supports Windows 2000? - .net-2.0

The msi file created by the VS2010 setup/install project does not install on Windows 2000. One will see a message like: "the procedure entry point GetNativeSystemInfo was not found" I can use a VS2008 setup project to solve this. What VS2010 solution is there to this problem?

Advanced Installer can create a setup working on Win2K, it has a free version too.

Went with InstallShield LE which is integrated into VS and is free.

Deploy Acumatica Framework Tools fails

I am trying to Deploy Acumatica Framework Tools using the Framework Configuration Wizard and I getting the following error:
Exception occurred while installing resources.
Inner Exception:
Can't find the Visual Studio template items location.
I have Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise running on Windows 10 Pro. Both are up to date.
Any ideas on how to correct this. I’m going to the Acumatica Summit next week and need to do the T100 and T200 course.
Thanks
Tom
The wizard is likely looking for the VS2015 registry folder. Until installers are fixed to check in the VS2017 location I recommend you create the VS2015 registry folders with these 4 dummy string keys pointing to VS2017 folder.
The key values in the picture below point to the default VS2017 folders. I tested this workaround a couple months ago on a colleague computer and we experience no ill effects:
I faced the same problem, but I could not change my registry due to company policy. My regedit.exe was unavailable:
So, to fix this issue I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition .
That fixed the issue.
Do not forget to restart your computer after installation, otherwise - you will get the same error. If you solve this problem with installation of VS2015, you will be able to use Visual Studio Template
in VS2015 only. It will not be available in other versions of Visual Studio.

Getting "The document was created using an evaluation version of activereports"

I am using ActiveReports6 for my windows forms application
When I install it on my machine providing serial key it works perfectly fine.
But when I don't install it, it shows this red line in the bottom of the report
The document was created using an evaluation version of activereports..
My understanding may not be correct, but what I tried is I installed licensed version of ActiveReports6 to my computer and then copied all the dlls generated for ActiveReports6 from GAC and added them to my project thinking now they will work on any machine as they are generated by licensed version of the software.
And then uninstalled Activereports6, but when I tried it still gave me the same evaluation version message.
So is it mandatory that active reports has to be installed in all the machines where I deploy my client? Or I did something wrong
The license for development. You would install activereports, create your reports and build your application on the licensed machine, the VS compiler will automatically check the licensed components and include the license within your application. You do not need to install ActiveReports itself on your client, only make sure that you are deploying the ActiveReports assemblies with your application. if you are having any issues please contact us at http://activereports.grapecity.com and we would gladly resolve the issue for you.
Found the mistake I was doing.
Actually I had put licenses.licx file in the subdirectory of the project while it should be in the same directory of the project and so I was not generating its exe.licenses file and so did not work.
Once I changed the location of licx file it worked!
Thanks!

how to add mysql data source in visual studio 2012 express for web

i'm trying to add mysql connection to my asp.net mvc 4 projects but i dont see it on the data source window.
after installing visual studio 2012 express for web i added mysql Connector/Net through nuget. i wanted to add new connection to mysql db but i did see mysql data source on the data source window list. after a search i realized that i have v6.6.4 and it supported from 6.6.5 so i uninstalled it from nuget and install 6.6.5 from mysql website(a complete install). it didnt helped.. i also tried to uninstall and reinstall it but it didnt change a thing.
how can i solve this?
Adding Connector/NET thru nuget will not install any of the visual studio integration stuff, for that you will need to run the Connector/NET installer (available at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/).
However due to legal constraints from Microsoft, integration with Visual Studio express editions is not possible (you'll need a non express version of visual studio).
The problem is that its an express version.
i installed a non express version and it worked.

Unable to install Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition

I got a problem to install the visual web developer 2008 express edition. When I starting to install this application it start installing with visual c++ runtime prerequisites it process a minute or two after that it shows an error The folowing component could not be downloaded visual c++ runtime prerequisites I read an article regarding this at http://forums.asp.net/t/1487605.aspx
It says completely remove vwd 2005 before installing vwd 2008. I did it but it display same error I have net connection also. Where I am wrong to install the application. Please suggest to overcome this problem. Thanks
I would try installing it through Web Platform Installer. If 2008 isn't available anymore, just install 2010, which is fully backward compatible to .Net 3.5

Connecting oracle from c++ .. MSVCR90.dll is missing from your computer

I am trying to connect to oracle database from c++ using OCCI, I am following these instructions from Mark Williams, But when I run my program it gives error as MSVCR90.dll is missing from your computer. I suppose its problem related to vc compiler maybe its trying to use vc10 and oracle dll searches for vc9 dll? The oracle version I am trying to connect to is 10g.
Is it possible to configure VS2010 to use VC9 instead of VC10?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 under Windows 7.
Indeed, the client application requires a different version of the MSVC runtime from what is installed on your computer. Msvcr90.dll is the Common Runtime library for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. You will need to install this. (Note that for this version, it is no longer considered a shared system directory, so it installs as a Windows side-by-side assembly.)
You can install it by downloading the installers here or here:
