Installing the Visual Studio Community Program
To install the latest free version of the Visual Studio software, just do the one described above. The installation file will descend and the installation will begin.
Installing Visual Studio Express for Desktop
If you want to install one of the older versions rather than the latest version, click the link mentioned in the second article above. Here we will find the iso file of the version we want.
The Iso files can open directly in Windows10 operating system, but if you have the different operating system, we have two options to open this file:
We can print the file to DVD and install the program from this DVD.
Virtual (CD) using the CD / DVD program can access this file and start the installation.
If your computer does not have Virtual Cd / Dvd program you can download from.
wincdemu.sysprogs.org/portable/
With this program we can open the Visual Studio pattern file and perform the installation.
Run the PortableWinCdEmu program.
Click the Mount Another Image button.
In the window that opens, select the downloaded pattern file (VS2012….) And say OK.
Then in the My Computer window, it will look like a DVD is inserted into the computer. Run the setup file (wdexpress_full, etc.) by entering this dvd.
Installation will be finished and the program will ask us for a password during the first run. Getting the password is not a paid transaction. We only need to register. For this, we will need a Microsoft account. (hotmail, outlook, windowslive etc.)
You will see “Register online” or a similar link in the window where the password is requested. When you click on this link, login with your Microsoft account on the page that will open and fill in the required places in the form and click on the “next alttaki button at the bottom. You will be given the password on the new page. Copy this password back to the program and paste it where necessary.
After installing the program, we can download and install the Turkish language package.
