Web Publishing Extension not installed in Visual Studio 2015 - azure

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 trying to publish my app, but when I try to do so I get the error:
The Web Publishing Extension is not installed which is required to publish. You can install it from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=208120
I tried repairing Visual Studio and reinstalling Azure SDK for VS 2015 but the problem persists. I wanted to try the solution posted here but I don't have a folder named Publish in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\
Any idea about what can be the problem? I found a lot of post in SO about this problem but can't find any solution when there isn't any folder named Publish. I'm on Windows 10.

Solved it by reinstalling Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools using Visual Studio Extensions and Updates menu (Tools -> Extensions and Updates...)

cannot install web deploy on windows server, installer does not find either "visual studio 2015 update 2" and "visual studio 2015"

I'm trying to install web deploy for IIS, on my windows 8 machine, but the installer cannot find "visual studio update 2" and then fails. I'm using visual studio 2017, does this mean I need to install VS 2015 as well?
neither directly from the IIS application nor the web installer work.
ok if anyone runs into this problem my solution was to download visual studio 2015, you can find the links here

Visual Studio extension conflict when removing a project

After I save the changes of a solution and then remove an existing project, I'll get the following error message:
The operation could be completed. Not implemented.
Then I launched devenv.exe /Log and able to reproduce the problem and the errors are:
Extension will not be loaded because an extension with the same ID 'Microsoft.Windows.DevelopmentKit.Desktop' is already loaded at
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS KITS\8.0\DESKTOP SDK\
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS KITS\8.1\DESKTOP SDK\
Extension will not be loaded because an extension with the same ID 'Microsoft.WinJS' is already loaded at
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT SDKS\WINDOWS\V8.1\EXTENSIONSDKS\MICROSOFT.WINJS.SHARED\VSIX\
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT SDKS\WINDOWS\V8.0\EXTENSIONSDKS\MICROSOFT.WINJS.SHARED\VSIX\
It looks like it's trying to load two extensions but with different versions. I believe they are the Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone 8.1 but even if I launch VS 2012 with Admin, the Uninstall button is greyed out for me. I don't see them in the Add/Remove Programs either. So how can I get rid of this error?
A side note, I have both VS 2012 and VS 2013 installed and I had to do a repair on VS 2012 after VS 2013 was installed.
I had the same problem with Microsoft Windows Development Kit: two errors every time at Visual Studio start with description in the
%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ActivityLog.xml
Sometimes (I think every time) Visual Studio Updater or Installer (when you try to install other version of VS) does not remove already installed version of a VS module.
In my case I had the second WDK with older version but installed after the newer one. I manually uninstalled the older version of Microsoft Windows Development Kit and problem with Visual Studio was solved.

Visual Studio 2012 platform toolset v110_xp

I'm trying to build a program using Visual Studio 2012. It's platform toolset property was set to 'v110_xp' but I changed it to 'v110'
Now I'm getting the error:
Error 2 error MSB8020: The builds tools for v110_xp (Platform Toolset = 'v110_xp') cannot be found. To build using the v110_xp build tools, either click the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then select "Update VC++ Projects...". Install v110_xp to build using the v110_xp build tools. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets 44
I already updated the VC++ Project and I also changed the platform toolset property to Visual Studio 2012 (v110) (it was originally set to v110_xp)
I also opened the .vcxproj file in another editor and manually changed it to use v110.
Does anybody know how to fix this error?
I updated Visual Studio 2012 to Update 4 and that seems to fix it.

This version of Visual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them

Now I am trying to open that .csproj into studio 2012 will prompt me an error

Installing PlatformToolset v110 without installing Visual Studio 2012

We have a Visual Studio solution that contains some VC++ projects, and we've currently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 from VS2010. In the process we also lifted the VC++ projects to PlatformToolset v110.
On our build server (Jenkins), we would like to build this project with MsBuild without having to install VS2012. But I can't get it to work, and I think it's because the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110 must be present.
This folder and its contents is created during installation of VS2012, but as far as I can tell it won't be included in either the Windows SDK 7.1 or Windows SDK 8.0?
Is there any other SDK or installation package that can help with this issue?
I know it's not really without installing Visual Studio 2012, but:
If licensing costs are the biggest driver perhaps the Express for Windows Desktop edition could be an alternative. You could keep the installation to the minimum required to support C++ builds.
