Anyone else having a problem with this update for VS 2012? Google says that it takes a long time to install and eventually returns an error.
I have it trying to install on 2 machines right now, and it's been going all night!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I had no problem with it...It took no more then 15 minutes, but truly the last phase (preparing VS) took 2/3 of it...

I just ran Windows Update, and it got stuck at an update concerning VS 2012 for a very long time. I don't know if it was the update you mention, though...
I noticed that I actually had VS 2012 open, so I thought that that was the problem. But even when I shut it down, the update refused to continue.
Now, I've killed the process, and I need to restart Windows to try running Windows Update again.
I haven't got time for that right now, so I don't know what will happen when I do, and I run the updates again.
Would be interested in hearing the experiences of people who've had trouble with it...

The setup stops if VS open (any version) and you have the choice to close VS or force to continue the setup. however what alos can block is SSMS! It too uses VS core components, but not identified as a blocker!!! Consider it!

Only if you run the "normal" VS updates. Not those supplied by Windows Update - Not in my case, anyway...

FYI, I had actually closed studio and all of its relatives before attempting update, but mine still failed.
However, I didn't confirm that devenv.exe was definitely closed, so maybe it was stuck in memory.
I can't even stop the update now. Can't even kill it.

I was able to finally kill it. I had to kill a specific .exe -- there were two of them running -- which was named after the KB, like KB3002339.exe.
I rebooted and now the update is back.
I'm going to try updating directly from VStudio and see if I get better results.

I was just trying to cancel the installation now. Thanks for posting.
It's been running for 2 hours and is stuck.

The associated KB article is here[^]
I had trouble as well, running it through Windows Update. Just went to that link and downloaded the KB and installed it as a standalone. Took ~10 minutes.

Ah, so that's what it is. When the machine was still updating this morning, I simply killed the power while it appeared to hang on the "Do not turn of your PC" screen.
Almost time to find out whether it still boots.
Crap.

Boots, after a quick repair. Disabled any auto-update and promoted the machine to games-console/webbrowser.

I've had a request from a business analyst here who is having to model two systems that I have worked on so they can be rewritten by an external company in an 'off the shelf' package that was purchased a couple of years ago.
One of the systems is a C# WinForms thing written in Visual Studio, the other is Progress.
His question is "Rather than write out all the data fields can you provide an extract by screen / tab that summarises all the data fields in the 2 systems?".
With regards to the C# one, that's not possible is it? No out of the box tools or behaviour in VS to achieve it.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Atcherley, that's not as daft as it sounds. Words in TIFF screenshots are treated as words, and can be extracted/searched/etc.
There will be, however, slightly less silly solutions -- but most of them would require code to be written, rather than frameworks imported, so they probably wouldn't be preferred by a lot of places I've worked
