View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you try to start Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Beta after you install Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate, Visual Studio 11 Beta tries to start and then crashes.

This problem may occur because you have different language versions installed or different Visual Studio editions installed. For example, you have the Japanese version of Visual Studio 11 Beta and the English version of Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate installed. Or, you have the English version of Visual Studio 11 Express Beta and the English version of Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate Release Candidate installed.

Cause

This problem occurs because Visual Studio requires all installed Visual Studio components to be the same release version before the program is in a supported, stable, and safe state. Having mismatched Visual Studio component versions installed can cause the program to crash.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, upgrade your installation of Visual Studio 11 Beta to the same language version or edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate. Or, uninstall all Visual Studio 11 Beta components and then install the desired language version or edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate.
