title: Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 has stopped working
body: <p>I have been using Visual Studio 2012 on Winodws Server 2008 R2 sp1, Although apart from a bit slow performance it seem to work fine. But whenever I close the application, I get following error-</p>
  
  <pre><code> Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 has stopped working
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And prompts to restart or debug the program.</p>
  
  <p>I read <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/et-EE/vssetup/thread/3b4d3051-c47f-4b84-8df5-a1f4feaf8916" rel="noreferrer">here</a> that deleting following registry key, would fix the issue on 64 Bit machine. </p>
  
  <pre><code>[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The issue is, I have not be able to locate the registry key beyond this path, on my machine.
  <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft</code></p>
  
  <p>Have you come across this situation earlier, what is the workaround for this.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help !</p>
