That post is out of date I think. I just looked for VS Code and it is in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code" on my system.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, it was the first thing I could fine, and I probably should not have posted the link.
Point being, I am sure the OP is not setting VSCode up correctly to be default, OR, it simply cannot be done, when other versions of VS are on the machine.

I am pretty sure you can set any program to be the default. However, Visual Studio sets itself as default on installation. As you say, OP is probably doing something wrong.

Question, what is VS Code good for if you have a full VS IDE to use? What do you use it for, that VS 2017 can't do?
Just curious.
|
|
|
|
|
it starts super fast.
ideal for perusing random code file.
beside that it supports host of other languages, like Google Go or D.

So true.

Just got here. And, well, OK, yes, but that's not the direction I plan to take.
|
|
|
|

Does that mean you converted to the IDE-direction?

Pfft, as if. I use VS when I need to.
|
|
|
|
|
I use it for Java* development, occasional C++/C#, and general source browsing. *I don't really need eclipse, and I don't care for netbeans.

I've never had this situation break windows, but I have had it break other installs of Visual Studio.
|
|
|
|
|
It did not break windows. It broke my entire Visual Studio setup on my machine and I could not repair or fix or use visual studio anymore. so a full reinstall of windows was needed.

Have you tried GitHub - Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller? It is a Microsoft OSS tool that completely removes all versions of Visual Studio before 2017.

ms has many such tools for removing it's own software, because the uninstallers never do it properly.
you'd think by now uninstallers is one thing they could have mastered?? Not even that eh?

Trying it now, thanks! 
I hope it doesn't uninstall VS2017 as well...

Yeah, I was able to free 3GB more! 
But the Azure Data Factory is still there!
|
|
|
|
|
mmm.. it broked my WPF designer intellisense... 
I did a VS2017 repair, it started scary (10GB download it said) but it must have skipped a lot of data, took 10 minutes, now all is good!

Nothing can ever be uninstalled; you need to start fresh.
(I still haven't decided which -- if any -- version of VS to install on my latest build. I have 2010 on an old tablet for the occasional dabbling.)

For the love of [deity]...keep VS versions separate from each other. Got the RAM? Use VMs.
Bonus: Backing up an entire system is a matter of copying a single VHD file. Moving it to an entirely new system is a matter of moving the file around.

Brother Super Lloyd, What you may be experiencing is AODUPDOPTSD (after or during update pre-, during-, or post-, traumatic stress disorder).
You need a trip to Thailand, now; this time to Chiang Mai, where I will guide your treatment with the soothing therapies on offer here ... so unlike the glaring neon jungles of Pattaya.
cheers, Bill
