title: Visual Studio 2012 Express is suddenly "incompatible with this version of Windows"?
body: <p>I'm running Visual Studio Express 2012 on Windows 7.  I've been running it with no problems for several months now.</p>
  
  <p>Last Friday, when I shut down my PC, a lot of Windows updates were installed.  This morning, when I started up and opened a VS2012 solution, I got this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>This program has known compatibility issues
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop is incompatible with this version of Windows. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There's a button for <code>Run Program</code>, and when I click it, the solution opens normally.  I haven't changed anything about my Windows configuration.  This happens every time I open a solution.  Did MS release a flawed patch in the batch of updates that got applied last Friday?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I'm not sure why people are voting to close this question.  The answer that's been linked to isn't related to my issue; that answer seems to pertain to trying to open a VS2012 project in VS2010.  I'm trying to open a VS2012 project in VS2012.  If you really think that the question needs to be closed, please let me know why in the comments, so that I can change it appropriately.</p>
  
  <p>The .NET updates installed on Friday were:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>KB2805226 </li>
  <li>KB2805221</li>
  <li>KB2804582</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>UPDATE: I gave up, more or less, and clicked the "Don't show this window again" checkbox on the error window.  Visual Studio seems to be running ok.</p>
