I installed them in this order: Install SQL Server 2012 SP1 x64 Visual Studio

I installed them in this order:

  1. Install SQL Server 2012 SP1 x64
  2. Visual Studio 2010

This is the proper order that other developers recommended and as i did.
The problem is, if SQL Server 2012 installed on the system, VS2010 shortcuts are not show up.

How can I fix this?

Note: OS is Windows 8.

    This is a bug.

    A workaround is to navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
    Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, right-click on the
    shortcut called Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and select Pin to Start.
    After this, there will be two shortcuts targeting devenv (one titled
    Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools and one titled Microsoft Visual Studio
    2010)
