For those of you that would like to build your own installer: 1. Check out the full source tree of NETMF from netmf.codeplex.com. 2. Unzip the attached file into the root of the client_v4_3 directory. 3. Open a VS 2013 developer command prompt and cd to the client_v4_3 directory. 4. > setenv_vs.cmd 12 5. > msbuild sdk.dirproj /p:flavor=release The build output will be located at: client_v4_3BuildOutputpublicReleaseServermsmMicroFrameworkSDK.MSI Chris

Hi Chris, the "scripts\init.cmd" is missing

Chris,

 

I'm running Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop on a Windows 8.1 machine and ran into an issue when attempting to install the .NET MF SDK4.3.  The installer says I don't have Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop installed but I actually do have Express.  Any ideas?

Hi AlanH,

Our experimental SDK for VS2013 only works with non-Express versions of Visual Studio 2013 at this time. Can you grab a copy of VS 2012 Express for Windows Desktop instead?

Welcome to the community,

Chris

Hi Chris,

any clou or hint when we can expect an official release for VS2013?

I think the most recent is comment by Sal Ramirez on the official .NET Micro Framework blog (posted on 7/11/2014):
 

Yes, we are working on Visual Studio 2013 support and we should have preview bits to release to the community soon, likely in the next few weeks.

Just got my new netduino 2 +, i was wondering if there is any plan to support VS Express 2013 (Desktop)?

 

Cheers.

Hi fjmalass,

The next release of NETMF bits is likely to include support for VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. For now if you're using Express...we recommend VS2012 Express.

Welcome to the Netduino community,

Chris

Help!

 

I have VS 2012 Ultimate, and VS 2013 Ultimate installed.

I cannot install either of the .Net MicroFramework (for 2012, or 2013 experimental).

I get the error that I don't have VS installed.

Any ideas why?

 

Thanks.

[Oakley]

Q: I can't install the framework in VS. I have multiple VS ultimate installed, and I can't install the framework for any of them.

Any ideas?

The upgrade for my N2 to experimental SDKs went well! I am liking VS 2013 experience!

Quick update:
The .NET MF just released a new version of the NETMF SDK installer which supports VS2013.
http://blogs.msdn.co...a-released.aspx

The new SDK installer also supports side-by-side installation of NETMF into VS2012, VS2013, and even VS2014 (experimental).

Thank you to the NETMF team for all the hours they've spent restructuring the NETMF SDK!

Awesome.

 

Thank you for the update.

Hi,

I have installed .NET Micro Framework V4.3 SDK-R2-Beta and netmfvs2013 vsix.

Using VS Express 2013 for Desktop. Under New project -> Micro Framework I don't have a Netduino 2 plus application. Any idea?

Hi Chris,

 

With the release of the latest NETMF SDK, could one use Express 2013?  Do see the normal MF project templates, but not any Netduino specific templates?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Gert

[Chris Walker]

Gert--yes, you can use Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop with the 4.3.1 R2 SDK beta installer from Microsoft.
 
Gert and KristijanCetina -- after you install the VS2013 support, be sure to run the "Netduino 4.3.1 SDK for VS2013" installer. That will add the appropriate templates to VS2013.

I fought missing mf templates for a day recently. They were there in the proper directories, but never showed up in Visual Studio.

 

I uninstalled / re-installed 3-4 times, nothing changed.

 

I think this article finally made things work again;

I'm not 100% sure it was that, but it was some command line argument to devenv. Apparently VS still has some issues finding templates occasionally.

[eugenhuber]

Hi Chris,

by when can we expect a final release for VS2013 ... everthing seems to be pre/beta.

[Chris Walker]

Spiked--very interesting. The SDK installer actually runs that same command-line argument to update the Visual Studio templates. I wonder if perhaps we're starting it as an asynchronous process and if loading Visual Studio before it's done causes the procedure to abort.

eugenhuber--the Netduino 4.3.1 SDK, even though it is marked as experimental, is basically release quality. We always like to test with the final VS bits before calling it "release"--but we're using it full-time with the NETMF 4.3.1 R2 SDK Beta today. If you want to be on VS2013, go ahead and upgrade. If you run into any VS2013-specific troubles, let us know, swap back to VS2012 and we'll work with Microsoft to resolve.

Chris

[Spiked]

That's why I said not 100% sure. I am 100% sure it was a command line argument to devenv, just not 100% which one. But yeah, I did spend 4-5 hours on it.

 

Note that I believe that requires Admin elevation, which may not happen during your install?  But I also had your templates after your(and MF) install, they just disappeared later. From what I've read, this latest addition of 'portable library' stuff has created many new issues (hard coded links to v2.05 of System.Core), of which I am guessing this is just 1 more.

Hi,

 

To use my Netduino Plus with Visual Studio 2013 Pro is it correct I have to install:

• Install .NET Micro Framework V4.3 SDK-R2-Beta http://netmf.codeple...ses/view/133285
• Install Netduino SDK v4.3.1 for VS 2013 (experimental)

Thanks.
