I'm learning C and C++. In our college we must code and compile with Visual studio 2017, and I want to buy the MacBook Pro ('18). Is there a good way to code with visual studio on MacBook Pro for. Hey everyone, here's a bit of background info: I recently installed Windows 10 on my Macbook so I could install and use Visual Studio for college. Does Visual Studio for MacOS have all development and debugging capabilities (especially in C, C++, and C# languages), like which Visual Studio for Windows has? General question - what are capability differences between Professional and Enterprise edition (of Visual Studio)?

Yesterday I've installed bootcamp, Windows 10 Pro, on my new tb/MBP (late 2016). Everything worked fine until I've installed Visual Studio 2015 (Update 3) with all of its components (50GB~).
After I've rebooted the computer, it took ~10 minutes to load Windows (waiting at the dark screen with Windows logo and dots loading animation). Then - the keyboard and trackpad do not respond (even the keyboard light is turned off). The Touch Bar sometimes works and sometimes not.
I've rebooted to macOS and everything works fine.
I've read many threads and saw that it may be related to Hyper-V, which Visual Studio uses for Mobile Developement.
So, how can I disable Hyper-V so I can get back my MBP to normal? I don't want to re-install Windows, and I can't work without Visual Studio...

I've got Hyper-V working reliably under Windows 10 installed via Bootcamp on a 2016 MBP without TouchBar. The steps are relatively advanced, but were easy to follow and most people on this thread should be comfortable. You install and EFI boot manager called rEFInd (it's the 'modern' successor to a tool I used to use on my old MacBook Air called rEFIt). By tinkering with rEFInd's configuration you can get it to EFI-boot Windows with the hypervisor enabled.
Follow the instructions here, CAREFULLY: http://nuts4.net/post/hack-force-vt-x-to-be-always-on-when-booting-to-windows-on-your-macbook
I also followed the steps in this article about enabling 'legacy safe mode' for Windows 10 (allowing me to press the F8 key during boot if anything goes wrong): https://medium.com/@naokisatoname/newer-mac-windows-10-on-boot-camp-hyper-v-enabled-infinite-spinning-circle-5631b36f6d1…
The net result is a clean install of W10 via Bootcamp, with working Hyper-V. I need to use rEFInd as my boot manager to EFI-boot Windows, but that's totally fine in my book.
I hope this helps people. I intend to cross post this solution on the other linked threads to get the word out there.

I have a Visual Studio 08 ISO on a DVD. And I don't know how to install it. I thought I could insert it and install it, but there is more to it than that I see. I have a MacBook Pro with Parallels 6, so I also have Windows 7. Any suggestions?

You can mount it with software such as MagicISO from a windows vm

You can easily mount an iso with Parallels: Devices / CD/DVD1 / Connect image... The disk image will appear in Windows if a CD/DVD was inserted.

I believe with your DVD you will need to go to the main menu and select Virtual Machine then Configuration - on the screen that appears, select the Hardware tab and go to CD/DVD 1 - there you can select the disk or virtual disk you want to connect your Windows 7 environment to.
A quick note on the above responses - if you have your Windows 7 environment setup to be shared with your Mac (as opposed to isolated - under the Options tab there are several such settings under the Security, Sharing and Applications items of the menu that is contextually bound to that main menu with General, Options and Hardware) - anyways the point is that if you're using a tool like Daemon Tools and you can't mount an image, such as an ISO, it may be that the image is in a folder that's native to your Mac. I ran into this issue when I had several ISO files in my downloads folder - since I set 'Share Mac user folders with Windows', the downloads folder was actually the Mac user downloads folder - so I just created a directory within the Windows virtual hard disk and moved the ISO there - from there it worked like a charm :)
unfortunately I don't think this will help the original poster (given how long it has been since the original post), but hopefully it will help someone with this same issue down the road
