Where is the Visual Studio Express 2015 executable located on Windows 10?
Solution 1:
It should be wherever you chose as the installation directory. I just ran the install and this was the default location.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
To be sure, I installed all 3 versions of Visual Studio Express 2015. Here are their executables.
- Express 2015 for Desktop =
VSWinExpress.exe - Express 2015 for Web =
VWDExpress.exe - Express 2015 for Windows =
WDExpress.exe
They are all located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE directory.
Solution 2:
Please type devenv command from in the run program, it will launch installed visual studio.
I also faced exact same issue after installing VS 2015 on my Win 7 machine. But before installing it, I uninstalled all previous version of VS hence devenv launched most updated VS which is VS 2015.
Hope this one is hopeful.
Solution 3:
The explanation can be found here.
The Visual Studio Application icon/shortcut does not appear anymore in the VS folder.
- In Windows 7, you can find it on the top of the "All Programs" list in the Start Menu.
- In Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, it should appear in the "V" grouping in the menu.
