To create an enterprise integration solution using Azure Logic Apps I am trying to run the Enterprise Integration Pack in Visual Studio. I see that is supported only for VS2015.

interesting blog EIP
But with many attempts my VS2015 installation for some reason never installs all tools with success (adding Azure SDK, EIP, App Logic Tools, sign to Azure Subscription with MFA..). And it is not supported anymore. Ultimately my target is to test complex XML mapping creating XSLT graphically (because for complex use case make it graphically is strongly easier). Essentially creating graphically what is called in Logic Apps "Maps". So how can I achieve that by passing all issues with VS2015?
Just to show one issue that I get when I try to loging to my Azure Subscription that is MFA:

I have EDI files on a file server how do I decode them into xml/json/csv in azure?
I tried using logic apps X12 using the lookup artifact of the integration account.
After reproducing from my end, I could able to convert Edi files to XML from logic apps using Decode X12 message of X12 Connector.
Make sure you are adding the required schemas, Map, Partners and Agreement in your Integration account before executing.
NOTE: To create schemas or maps you require either of the following
Visual Studio 2019 and the Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Tools Extension.
Visual Studio 2015 and the Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Tools for Visual Studio 2015 2.0 extension.
You can refer more on Add schemas to use with workflows
Below is the flow of my Logic App.
It looks like Azure DevOps may have APIs similar to Office 365 but I'm not finding them in the documentation and when I called support they don't seem to know what I'm talking about. We are trying to build an integration like we have with o365 using Graph api's. Can anyone point me in the right direction- it seems like Azure DevOps is mostly an on-prem solution and not SaaS at this time.
Assuming you are talking about the former Visual Studio Online, and the current Azure Devops, then you have this article with the reference to its REST APIs. Also you have the option to use the Client SDKs with one of the programming languages available, to establish the integration.
You might looking for Visual Studio SDK documentation...
The Visual Studio SDK helps you extend Visual Studio features or
integrate new features into Visual Studio. You can distribute your
extensions to other users, as well as to the Visual Studio
Marketplace. The following are some of the ways in which you can
extend Visual Studio

I know of ARM, the REST SDK and the CLI Powershell cmdlets.
What I want to know is; which of these has the most extensive support for scripting resources without having to touch the (indeed very slow) Azure Portal?
And I would also really like to know which one of these Microsoft usually ship first with regards to preview features?
Each service in Azure is exposed using a REST API. Most of those APIs are publically supported. Some aren't.
It depends on the team that builds the elements that make up Azure and often their primary customer base. The Windows IaaS and AAD teams have been mostly PowerShell first. Machine learning and AI seem to favor azure-cli, which is built in Python, a very commonly used language in big data scenarios. The Azure Devops team has recently moved from the Visual Studio to the Azure brand (formerly Visual Studio Team Services, Visual Studio Online, Team Foundation Service preview). Their tools are mostly Node and Powershell based. Not everything in Azure is a "Resource", per se. So not all things are created or updated using Azure Resource Manager Templates (ARM).
So, unfortunately, there is no golden hammer when it comes to automating Azure.
Azure REST Api is, obviously, the best way to go, but its the least convenient (there probably is a better word for this). I really like arm templates, they (basically) allow you to define REST api calls you want to do and allow to do some looping\parametrizing\etc. As arm templates are just a proxy for the rest api, they usually work really well.
I am an experienced BizTalk developer who is now moving on to Azure logic apps. I have installed Visual Studio 2017 and added the "Azure Logic Apps Tools for Visual Studio" through the Tools|Extensions and Updates menu. However, I don't see an option for creating/editing XML schemas(.xsd files), I don't see the BizTalk EDI X12 schemas and there is no option for creating a map. What am I missing? I have searched and searched with no luck. Thanks.
XSD & Maps are part of the Azure Integration Account service. You need the Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Tools in order to use those. You will see that the mapper is very similar to what you know from the BizTalk-world.
I'm not sure Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Tools is already supported in VS 2017. I know it's supported on VS 2015.
On a side note, xsd's and maps created using a BizTalk Server Project will also work fine in an Azure Integration Account and Logic Apps,but might lead to a more complex ALM-story.
Right now there is no tooling available for Visual Studio 2017, only for Visual Studio 2015.
The tools are based on the BizTalk components and those components are only available for Visual Studio 2015.
You can download EDI schemas from Open Source Github, but only EANCOM and EDIFACT, X12 messages have been removed due to licensing questions https://github.com/Microsoft/Integration/tree/master/BizTalk%20Server/Schema
I want to develop an application using appfabric composite application/model but i was unable to find any latest updates on it. Also very little help related to it is present on web thus creating a confusion that whether this feature is continued after June CTP 2011 or not ?
Is there any update going to be available in future release?
Also I have installed windows azure toolkit 1.7 and after that azure appfabric sdk1.5 but in visual studio project templates I cannot find any template for appfabric as shown in some videos.
What additional installables will I require ?
In Windows Azure, word "App Fabric" is not longer used, instead all the services which were part of "Windows Azure App Fabric *" are named completely different (Service bus, ACS, Cache * etc) specific to their objective. That why you do not see any latest documentation specific to "App Fabric" in Windows Azure. Now when App Fabric term is used specific to Windows Server specific service model.
That's another reason when you installed Windows Azure SDK 1.7 you did not see any thing specific to App Fabric at all.
I am not sure how much it will apply but you sure can take a look at "Building Hybrid Applications in the Cloud on Windows Azure - eBook" and see if that will help you.
