set up to run on "Windows Server 2012 R2" environment. I want to
upgrade to VS 2015 and use C# 6 features. As far as I understand, I
have to change my environment to one containing VS 2015.</p>
<p>What are pros and cons between setting environment to "Visual
Studio 2015" and asking for the project to be moved to "faster OSS
environment with VS 2015 installed"?</p></div>lairtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374496812015-07-22T17:12:14Z2015-07-22T17:12:14ZVS 2015<div><p>If you select "Visual Studio 2015" image (OS setting on UI or in
appveyor.yml) builds will run on Azure which is slower compared to
Basic/Pro workers.</p>
<p>That Hyper-V-based environment for OSS is almost the same fast
as Pro environment and it has VS 2015 on build workers, so you
don't need a custom image.</p>
<p>We'd install VS 2015 to Pro environment, but seems like this
could break a lot of builds. The problem mainly in .NET 4.6 which
is an "in-place" update to .NET 4.x causing incompatibility issues
in many apps/libs. Just an example - Service Bus for Windows
doesn't start at all if .NET 4.6 is installed on the machine.</p>
<p>We are going to study demand for VS 2015 and plan
capacity/migration. For now we're going to move customers
one-by-one on request basis. Moreover, we don't expect everyone
migrating to VS 2015 in one night :)</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374496812015-07-22T17:40:06Z2015-07-22T17:40:06ZVS 2015<div><p>Sounds pretty reasonable (run into a couple of bugs already).
But let's give it a try and move both mine
(<code>srogovtsev</code>) projects to OSS environment. Thanks!</p></div>lairtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374496812015-07-22T17:44:47Z2015-07-22T17:44:47ZVS 2015<div><p>Moved.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/374496812015-07-22T17:49:51Z2015-07-22T17:49:51ZVS 2015<div><p>Thanks, run both builds, doesn't seem to be a problem.</p></div>lair
