Answer 1

I'm getting the same thing.

Answer 2

VS Express 2013 Preview for Windows targets authoring of Store Applications for Windows 8.1. Consequently, it needs to be installed on a Windows 8.1 Preview system.

I suspect you are attempting to install this on Windows 8.0. If you are targeting authoring of Windows Desktop applications, you should download and install "Visual Studio Express 2013 Preview for Windows Desktop".

Also, you may want to review the System Requirements link, listed for each download as the requirements vary depending upon the SKU you download.

In that case : Please update the requirements on http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng#products/visual-studio-ultimate-2012+product-edition-ultimate-requirements

it states that Windows 8 is required, not 8.1

Thanks for the correction!

Answer 5

Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate Edition, can be installed on Windows 7 and later OS's. The System Requirements listed are correct.

The initial forum post was related to Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows, which is used to create Store Applications targeting Windows 8.1. Hence the Windows 8.1 requirement.
