[SOLVED] Visual Studio 2013 and VS 2012

[iblues1976]

Hi,

I'm thinking to install VS 2013 in my main machine. However, I'm afraid that it may damaged something. I'm currently running vs 2012 update 3 (windows 7 64 bits)

Has anyone run into any problems or has anyone has both install without any problems.

thanks,
Francisco

I have both installed with no problem. VS versions are totally ok to install separately on the same machine, however it's when you uninstall one that you might discover problems (the older the more problem can occur). But installing a new version is rarely a problem.
Also, having both installed, you can build using the compiler in VS2012 while being in the VS2013 IDE which helps using tools from vs2013 while still compiling with old compiler.

As expected, there were no problems...
thanks!

Are there really good upgrades among VS 2010, 2012 and 2013?

VS 2010 is slower than ever, 2012 is less slow, 2013 is even less slow. I would go with the last one just to have more recent C++ features and excellent debugging experience.
