You can simply go to Menu   All Programs   Visual Studio 2013  Select the folder link  Visual Studio Tools   This will open the folder  There is bunch of shortcuts for command prompt which you can use  They worked perfectly for me   I think the trick here might be there are different versions for different processors  hence they put them all together

Since any solution given so far will open the command prompt on the project folder  you would still have to navigate to the project s folder  If you are interested in getting the command prompt directly into the project s folder  here is my 2 steps    Right-click in solution explorer on the project name  just under the solution name  and choose the command  Open Folder in File Explorer  Once the Windows Explorer is open  just type in the     address bar  cmd  and then hit enter    Et voila  Hope that helps

I used a modified version of this answer - based on my experiences adding it to VS 2010    Select Tools    External Tools in Visual Studio Click Add Title  I use Visual Studio Command  amp Prompt    amp P Makes P a alt-shortcut key  when menu active  I originally used C  but that conflicts with the existing shortcut for Customize  Command  C  Windows System32 cmd exe Arguments   k  C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 12 0 Common7 Tools vsvars32 bat    k keeps a secondary session active so the window doesn   t close on the  bat file  Initial Directory   I use   ProjectDir   from the dropdown  Click OK    Now you have command prompt access under the Tools Menu   See also  Add command prompt to Visual C  Express 2010

I don t know if this changed recently -- the answer given by Samuel did not apply to me even though that link seemed authoritative   A couple of things  1  For some reason  the folder in the start menu is called Visual Studio 2013  and not Microsoft Visual Studio 2013   Using the win8 apps interface you might see the 2010 entry Microsoft Visual Studio 2010  and since you don t see the new 2013 folder Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 next to it  you assume it isn t there    But it is    Just a few page scrolls away    2  It seems the Windows 8  or 8 1 at least  cannot display sub-folders    I tried creating a folder underneath the Visual Studio 2013 folder with shortcuts  and the entire folder just didn t show   3  Which is why what is installed is a shortcut   Not sure what the windows 7 behavior is with a shortcut in the start menu  but the apps menu just displays it like a folder   When you click on it  it brings you to the so-called missing shortcuts in explorer   Final solution   under C  ProgramData Microsoft Windows Start Menu Programs  create a new folder called Microsoft Visual Studio 2013   Copy the shortcuts from C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 12 0 Common7 Tools Shortcuts to that new folder   Then you ll have your icons using the windows 8 app interface under the heading which is the new folder name   You ll also be able to just start typing from the start screen VS2013  and the icons will now show up

For some reason  it doesn t properly add an icon when running Windows 8   Here s how I solved it   Using Windows Explorer  navigate to   C  ProgramData Microsoft Windows Start Menu Programs Visual Studio 2013   In that folder  you ll see a shortcut named Visual Studio Tools that maps to  assuming default installation    C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 12 0 Common7 Tools Shortcuts   Double-click the shortcut  or go to the folder above    From that folder  copy the shortcut named Developer Command Prompt for VS2013  and any others you find useful  to the first directory  for the Start Menu   You ll likely be prompted for administrative access  do so     Once you ve done that  you ll now have an icon available for the 2013 command prompt

Visual studio command prompt is nothing but the regular command prompt where few environment variables are set by default  This variables are set in the batch script   C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0 Common7 Tools VsDevCmd bat   So basically to get a visual studio command prompt for a particular version  just open regular command prompt and run this batch script   C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0 Common7 Tools VsDevCmd bat  Change the visual studio version based on your installed version   Voila you have got the visual studio command prompt  You can write a script to run the batch file and open cmd exe

I m using VS 2012  so I navigated to  C  ProgramData Microsoft Windows Start Menu Programs Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Visual Studio Tools  and ran as administrator this  Developer Command Prompt for VS2012  shortcut  In command shell I pasted the suggested       aspnet regiis -i   and as I suspected this did not yield any success on Windows 10    So all I needed to do was  Turn Windows Features On Off  at Control Panel and restart my machine to effect the changes  That did resolve the issue  Thanks
