What does devenv Exe error mean?

devenv.exe errors are related to problems during runtime of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (Executable Application). Generally, EXE errors are caused by missing or corrupt files. Learn how to download and replace your correct version of devenv.exe and fix these annoying EXE error messages.

What's the devenv file?

As a Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 file, it was created for use in Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 by Microsoft. Devenv.exe was initially released with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 2010 on 04/12/2010 for the Windows 10 Operating System. This file version is latest update offered from Microsoft, according to our records.

Is there a way to build a project without running devenv?

The only exception is for projecttypes that are only known to Visual Studio and not to msbuild. For earlier versions of VS that was true for the Setup projecttype. You couldn't build that one without running devenv.

Why am I getting runtime errors while using Visual Studio 2010?

Although most of these EXE errors affecting devenv.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.

Problem Solved!

I wanted to use TypeScript in this project. This dialog came up. I answered with yes.

But Visual Studio somehow was not able to Update TypeScript.

Next we looked a Tools > Extensions and Updates and updated TypeScript manually.

After the successful TypeScript update the solution opened normally!
