I have installed Visual Studio 2015 (Professional). But when I open SharePoint 2010 project on VS 2015, it's showing project is incompatible.
Could you please tell any solution or idea to load the project in VS 2015?
Your project is not loading because Microsoft Office Developer Tools is not installed on your machine. You can easily modify your visual studio 2015 by following steps:
Run Visual Studio 2015 Setup File
Click on modify
Find the “Microsoft Office Developer Tools” and select it.
Finally click on Update.
After completing the setup open your project.
When you install VS2015, you do not install the mandatory Office Development Tools for Visual Studio 2015.
Once, you have downloaded and installed those. (Around 78MB) your SharePoint projects should, once again, load up without any errors.

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on Windows Server 2012.
I am working on a VSTO outlook plugin, I need to create installer for the plugin. I found the following documentation to create the deployment installer at microsoft:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442767.aspx
Documentation talks about enabling the InstallShield Limited Edition.
I clicked on File, New, Project.In the New Project dialog box, expanded the Other Project Types node, and then I don't see "Setup and Deployment".
I have already tried devenv.exe /resetsettings.
devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates is not supported anymore.
I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Installer Projects from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioProductTeam.MicrosoftVisualStudio2015InstallerProjects
Now I am able to see the following under other project types --> Visual Studio Installer -->
Setup Project
Web Setup Project
Merge Module Project
Setup Wizard
CAB Project
Still I don't see "Setup and Deployment" as per Microsoft documentation.
Please help.
This is not available for Community Editions of Visual Studio

InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio supports the following
Visual Studio editions:

*Visual Studio Community Edition is not supported.
I have a programm using an GSL library which worked quite well with Visual Studio 2013. Now I set up a new Windows version and installed Visual Studio 2015 RC Community.
After that I can not compile the code anymore. After converting the code to the new tool set I got the error that some external symbols of the libraries could not be found. I think this has something to do with the fact, that the library was build with Visual C++ v120.
So is there a possiblilty to add this Compiler Version to the Studio? And does it work without trouble next to a new version installed. I do not want to install the older version of VS, because of the possibility of some troubles haveing to version parallel installed.
You can install VS2013 toolset version from your VS2015 installer without installing visual studio 2013. From the 2015 installer, select Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools. Thats it.
Found it in a msdn forum (have to be the first time something is actually solved in a microsoft forum)
Install Visual Studio 2013
Open your Project in Visual Studio 2015
In the General page of the Project Properties, change the Platform Toolset to "Visual Studio 2013 (v120)"
You never have to open Visual Studio 2013; you just have to install it so that Visual Studio 2015 can find the toolset. (Unfortunately there is no way to install just the toolset.)
I recently developed a program in VB.net with Access Database. And I want to create setup file of it.
I'd searched on "How to create setup file". And I got that using "Deployment and Installing" we can. After that I'd install "InstallShield". But that option does not appear inside Visual Studio.
I'm using "VS Express 2012 for Windows Desktop".
Visual Studio Express 2012 does not support extensions, as such 3rd party products will not be able to provide additional functionality. The InstallShield LE page on MSDN spells this out clearly:
InstallShield Limited Edition is free for users of all Visual Studio editions except the Express editions.

Your options are:
Install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition (if you are allowed by the license) or buy Visual Studio Professional. These can be extended with either Wix or the Visual Studio Setup Package extension or Installshield.
Create a click-once installer
Use an installation system that is independent of Visual Studio and have it pick up your project output from a specific directory. You would have to author your installer outside of Visual Studio, e.g.:
NSIS
Wix and Wix Editor
I have a Visual Studio project that I created in my previous PC (32-bit if that makes any difference). I recently got a new PC (64-bit) and I am trying to open the project and I am seeing the following error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them. You can still open these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were originally created.
- ONew, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONew\ONew.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in this version of Visual Studio without changing them. They will continue to open in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and in this version of Visual Studio.
- ONewWeb, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONewWeb\ONewWeb.csproj"
- ONewSln, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONewSln.sln"

Is there a add-on or visual studio component that I have to download to make it work?
Please help me resolve the issue.
After doing some research and spending hours banging my head against the wall, I figured out how to resolve the issue.
You have to install Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Open up the Web Platform Installer and if you don’t have it installed, download and install it. Search for Office Developer Tools and install it.
This will enable you to open the project without any issue.
Usually you can open VS2010 SP1 files in VS2012. But after opening and on compiling you may get some errors of missing packages. Then you have to install the missing packages. Check this out: Visual Studio 2012 compatibilty.
Some solutions, projects, files, and other assets that you created in Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will run without modification in Visual Studio 2012, but others have to be upgraded. The above document describes how various kinds of assets behave in these two versions of Visual Studio.
If you use both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you can create and modify projects and files in either version as long as you don't add features that require Visual Studio 2012.
VS2012 may convert projects when you first open them, but the changes are (except noted in the document linked) backward compatible with VS2010.
We developed an application in visual studio 2010 and reports are working fine, when we choose to open the same application through visual studio 2012 Ultimate, reports are not working and when i open .rpt file showing binary format ad also I could not find Crystalreport.rpt in Reporting template in visual studio 2012. After googling it, I have installed
CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 , but doesn't work.
How can i change or edit .rpt file design using visual studio 2012 and want to change the .rpt database name too. Any suggestion or idea to achieve this?
I had the same problem after installing visual studio 2012 and found no answer on the forums. I uninstalled CR yesterday and downloaded again the CRForVS 13.0.5 from here just in case there was a bug in the previous version I downloaded in may and installed it. Then I installed update 3 for Visual studio and everything works fine now.
Cheers
Michael
I figure this one out for me.
From SAP Crystal Reports's download site:
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft > Visual Studio" you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not ? >fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime >distribution only.
By default Windows 10 does not install the 3.5 framework, CR for VS still needs >it. Select it by "Turn Windows feature on or off" and choose both options.
I downloaded the exe, instead of the MSI packages, and it worked for me finally. Helps to read I guess.
