It's 2014 almost 2015 still the same problem. If you have a platform with 10.1 is should either work with 2012 or AT LEAST let you install the .NET SDK, and not just fail just because you don't have VS 2010 installed. They should have at minimum released a patch to allow the SDK to install without requiring VS 2010. Our use case, for example, is Windows 8.1 but developing an Add In for Arc 10.1 So it's a catch-22. Classic ESRI. I wish a GIS software competitor would come along and force them to listen to customers.
Supporting Visual Studio 2012 starting with version 10.2 is not an acceptable answer. I work on a project for a large Federal client and we are *locked* into using version 10.1 for 3 years. Esri needs to understand real-world situations where people cannot necessarily always upgrade to the latest version of their software. The answer to these kinds of support issues from Esri is almost always "Next version...." - it's just not acceptable.
We are working on adding support for Visual Studio 2012. More information about this will be made available in the coming months.
The ArcObjects SDK for .NET supports integration with Visual Studio 2012 starting with the 10.2 release. We are also supporting .NET 4.5. .NET 3.5 remains the recommended framework as it is still the prerequisite for the ArcGIS for Desktop or Engine install so it is guaranteed to be installed when you deploy to a machine where Desktop or Engine is installed.
I really hope that the 10.2 release will also support Visual Studio 2013 out of the box.This week, Microsoft released the final feature update for Visual Studio 2012 and released the 2013 beta.If supporting the later Visual Studio is too hard to do rapidly then please just provide the ability to install the libraries and not the Visual Studio integration pieces.
For now the support VS2012 is in ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.1.1 for WPF ( http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/system-requirements/10.1/0151/015100000092000000.htm ) and ArcGIS API for JavaScript version 3.(1..3) (http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/jsapi/#api_codeassist)
We did install the SDK without VS2010 Express. Just add the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\InstallDir (REG_SZ) with the value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\" and start the setup for the SDK.You will see a folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.1\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0" (assuming a default ArcGIS 10.1 installation). There you will find the templates, snippets and xml schemas. Just copy these to the corresponding folders of the VS 2012 installation. The snippets should be registrated in the SnippetsIndex.xml. Most things seem to work fine with VS 2012, but we have troubles to build Addins:[ATTACH=CONFIG]18317[/ATTACH]Has anybody made the same experience? There seems to be a hard dependency on the very old version 2.0.0.0 of the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0.dll. VS 2012 does not support this old version.It would be very, very nice if ESRI would support VS 2012.
