Installing Visual Studio 2013 on Server 2012
I will be installing Visual Studio 2013 on Server 2012 side-by-side with Visual Studio 2012 on my development rig. Installing and configuring Visual Studio has always been a cinch and Visual Studio 2013 is no exception. As most of you know I always run developer tools in a VM.
