How can I install PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008 Express? - visual-studio-addins

I have Visual Studio 2008 Express SP1 installed on my machine. I tried to install PowerCommands today, but it said that Visual Studio is not installed. Is there something I can do to get it to install?

Visual Studio 2008 Express does not allow add-ins

Without installing Visual Studio can I use Team Explorer or TFS power tools to check-in/check-out files through windows explorer?

We need to allow users to check-out check-in files in Windows Explorer.
Is it mandatory to install Visual Studio in order to use Team Explorer or TFS Power Tools?
What kind of licenses will be needed?
You can install Team Explorer which is free (but still uses the VS shell), this doesn't require any kind of Visual Studio license: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2017/04/05/reintroducing-the-team-explorer-standalone-installer/
Then you can install the TFS Power Tools to get the Windows Explorer extension which allows you to do basic source control operations in Windows Explorer.
Note: If you are connecting to an on-premise TFS you still need to purchase TFS CAL's. If you are using Azure DevOps (formerly Visual Studio Online) you get 5 users for free.
First install the free Visual Studio Explorer 2019
Go to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
Go to All downloads > Visual Studio 2019 > Visual Studio Team Explorer 2019 > Download
Run the installer
Then install the Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control Windows Shell Extension
Download from here
You may need to reboot to finish installation.

Can I install Visual Studio 2010 SP1 SDK with Visual Studio 2012?

I need Visual Studio 2010 SP1 SDK to build this project: https://github.com/abb-iss/SrcML.NET/tree/master/ABB.SrcML
But I only have Visual Studio 2012 (ultimate edition) and its SDK installed, I was wondering if is possible to install the Visual Studio 2010 SP1 SDK without having to install Visual Studio 2010 or maybe can I convert the project to use VS 2012 SDK instead
You can't install VS2010 SDK over VS2012 but in most cases you can convert the VS2010 to VS2012.

Is F# available for Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop

I just downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2012 express for Desktop but cannot launch an F# project. I see no where online where I can install it for Visual Studio 2012 express for Desktop. is there a way around this?
It is actually available for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. You need to download the F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web (blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fsharpteam/archive/2012/09/12/announcing-the-release-of-f-tools-for-visual-studio-express-2012-for-web.aspx , download link: http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=FSharpVWD11). I do not think it is available for the Desktop version of Visual Studio Express 2012.
While it is only available for the web version of Visual Studio Express, there is nothing stopping you from writing desktop applications with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4R9EfFNgLU

Do I need to uninstall all higher versions of Visual Studio just to reinstall VS 2003 successfully?

I have Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and 2008 installed on my machine + my OS is Windows 7.
Both 2005 and 2008 are working properly except for 2003.
I have a project that still needs to be compiled in VS 2003. I have setup-ed it in IIS7 and it is working fine but when opening it in VS2003 it prompts me...
"Visual Studio .Net cannot create or open the application. The likeliest problem is that the required components are not installed on the local Web server. Run Visual Studio .net setup and add the web development component."
I even tried to repair it but still did not work.
Are there any solutions or should I really uninstall the other VS?
