How to restore Visual Studio 2013 RC Start Menu shortcuts?

shortcuts visual-studio-2013

I had the same problem. After a short search I realized they changed the name of the shortcut folder from "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013" to just "Visual Studio 2013".

See the following for details: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/802119/missing-vs2013-shortcut-after-install

    I had Visual Studio 2013 Preview installed. I uninstalled it. Then I installed Visual Studio 2013 RC but most of the Start Menu shortcuts are missing.

    I tried repairing the installation but it did not create the icons.

      Did you try fully uninstalling the RC and then reinstalling it?

      Yes. I did. It didn't help.

    Awesome, a forum to vent my nerd-rage on; why the heck could they not stick with their own freaking convention?! I've got everything else MS nicely grouped together (Expression, Lync, Network Monitor, Office, Silverlight, SQL Server, Sync, Team Foundation Power Tools, VS2005, VS2008, VS2010, VS2012). Seriously... what a daft decision! .../endrant
