Where is the Visualization & Modeling SDK for VS2012?

Question

It's not on MSDN or in the extension gallery.  Thanks.

Answer 1

The beta SDK is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29040

We expect the RC version to be available for download within the next few business days.

For VS2012 RTM we expect it to ship with everything else.

Sorry for the delay.

Answer 2

I used the VS 2011 Beta version and all seems to work.

I do have one issue though...

I can't resolve the DTE2 in my VS 2012 RC version through the following statement ... 

var service = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE)) as DTE2 

service is null. This works fine in VS 2010.

Answer 3

How did you get the beta version to install? With VS 2012 RC installed, it says there is "no VS11 Beta installed" and therefore won't proceed.. maybe I shouldn't have uninstalled it prior??

Answer 4

We just released the Visual Studio 2012 RC VsVmSDK. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29953

You should not use the Visual Studio 11 Beta VsVmSDK with Visual Studio 2012 RC, but rather use the matching SDK.

Thanks for your passion at using our product!

Answer 5

Running the SETUP still says VS11 Beta. Is it the wrong file - or incorrectly labelled?

Answer 6

Yes, sorry. the file is the right file, but the "graphical title" is incorrect (you can see that this is the old logo, not the purple one).

You will have evidence that this is the right file (build number 50522) when you see that the text during the installation is correct "Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 RC Visualization and Modeling SDK is being installed". And also in the control panel for Add/Remove software the title is right.

Sorry about that. For RTM we'll have the proper standard installer (the same as for VS and the VSSDK)
