title: Installing Python Tools for Visual Studio 2012 (PTVS)
body: <p>I installed the version for VS 2010 a few weeks ago, and it went flawlessly. I am not having such good luck for the version for VS 2012. What did I do wrong? I ran, in order, two installers from Microsoft, "vs_isoshell.exe", "vs_intshelladditional.exe", and then "PTVS 1.5RC VS 2012.msi". VS Shell 2012 came up, and the Python support appeared to be present. I used the Wizard to create a new Python project. It will not run when I click to debug it. Also, VS Shell does not display the bottom of the window correctly either. VS 2010 Shell and PTVS still work perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>What is the procedure for installing the 2012 version?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I see that the instructions for installing the 2010 version say to uninstall previous versions first. I am reluctant to uninstall the 2010 version. If I uninstall PTVS and run PTVS 1.5RC VS 2012.msi, will PTVS still work in VS 2010 Shell?</p>
