I can't claim ownership of the phrase, and must thank Penny on Big Bang Theory (from the episode where Sheldon got a groupie, and Penny walked in on her giving Sheldon a pedicure).

One thing to check is if the references of any of the assemblies now point to the framework version 4.5 instead of 4? We had that problem when moving from 3.5 to 4.0...
How could installing VS2012 possibly change the solutions themselves? If the solution is set to use .Net 4 (or earlier), VS2012 has no business changing it until I tell it to. Besides, the problem was discovered before even firing up VS2012 for the first time, and in a copied version of the solution.

If you plan to continue developing for .NET 4, you really shouldn't use VS2012. The reason I say this is because of this[^] post. For those who don't want to read it, .NET 4.5 is an in place upgrade to .NET 4. In doing this, there are fixes to the .NET 4 binaries that mean that your application won't see bugs on machines with 4.5 that may well exist on machines with .NET 4 binaries installed. This could well lead to hidden bugs in your application.

So I guess it follows that if you develop a 4.0 app with VS2012, and someone installs it on their .Net 4.0 system, and they're forced to upgrade .Net 4.0, it could possibly break all of the older .Net 4-reliant apps on their system. How the f*ck did this one get by Microsoft "quality control"?

Not quite. They'd have to install .NET 4.5 to get the fixed version that matches your system. If they still use original .NET 4, there could be good old fashioned bugs in there that won't manifest on your system. Oh, and the fact of upgrading their system to 4.5 could end up breaking another .NET 4 application which has a workround that fixes one of the bugs.

I've been planning on pulling 2012 down this coming weekend. I suppose your issues mean I should be safer and use a VM for this instead of a side-by-side install with 2010 on my main development machine.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
Or install VS2012 FIRST, then install VS2010

Not really. It's a Start Screen now.

You actually used the words "Microsoft" and "Quality" in the same sentence????

Sorry - sometimes I lose control and just start saying stuff... :)
