Hi there!

We cannot reproduce this problem here. Can you tell us the exact steps you're doing and the errors you're seeing?

Note: if you're running Visual Studio 2012 RC, be sure to click on the "Download Casablanca: Visual Studio 2012" button on our main page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/casablanca)

Yes, I'm sure I have clicked it and the downloaded file is the same as by click the under link  "Visual Studio 11 SDK". 
When i install the downloaded file,it shows "This version of Casablanca requires Visual 11 to be installed" .
I have installed the Windows8 RP, Visual Studio 2012RC and Azure SDK1.7 by the VMware WorkStation on the Windows7.

Answer 4

Casablanca setup checks the regsitry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config. If you have Visual Studio 2012 installed, you should have this registry key.

If you're confident that VS 2012 is installed but the registry key is missing, let us know! In the meantime, you can experimentally create it yourself and see if that solves the problem.

Answer 5

Several members of the team have tried the download, and it's the correct one and installs fine. I wonder if there's some content caching going on somewhere, so that you're getting the old version.

If you look at the digital signature of the downloaded MSI, it has a date on it. It should say "Tuesday June 26, 2012, 12:42:20" when you look at the signature details, like the picture shows below. If that is not what you are seeing, there must be something that prevents you from getting the right version of the download.

If this is what you're seeing, you have the right version of the download and there must be something else going on, like what Artur suggested troubleshooting earlier.

Answer 6

I can see the correct picture shows above but can't find the regsitry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config.

There's only has  a regsitry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0.

So how can i create it?

Answer 7

This is how you can do it -- open the command prompt (cmd.exe) and type:

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config /v ShellFolder /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\

This will allow setup to proceed.

If it works for you, it would help us (and other users) if you can tell us the version of Visual Studio 2012 you're using. It's possible that there is an earlier version or a SKU out there that doesn't use the reg key we rely on, in which case we'd need to fix our setup.

Open Visual Studio 2012 and select Help -> About menu, then click Copy Info button. Then paste the result into a reply to this thread. We need the first few lines, which will look like this:

Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 RC
Version 11.0.50626.1 QRELRC July, 2012
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50501

Installed Version: Ultimate

...

This will not have your personal info, but if you prefer you can send it to me directly at arturl at microsoft.com.

I hope this will work, but let us know one way or another!

Thanks,

Artur

Answer 9

I see -- you're using Visual Studio Express. At the moment we only support Visual Studio Ultimate RC, which is available for free. We have not done the work to support VS Express, but we'll look into it in a future release.

Thanks!
