VS2013 AZURE Missing Templates - azure

I am on Windows 7 - It is completely up to date.
I am using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop.
I have installed .NET AZURE SDK 2.4 (the latest)
I have restarted PC
And Yet, there are no AZURE templates when I want to make a new project.

Did you install the tools for VS? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee405484.aspx

The tools are in the Azure SDK.
Problem was VS EXPRESS 2013 FOR DESKTOP does not support AZURE, you must use VS EXPRESS 2013 FOR WEB.
You can have both installed at the same time. You can actually run both at the same time.

Azure tools v 2.6 incompatibility with vs 2015

Just updated visual studio 2015, and I have a solution that has an API using azure tools v2.6, the update for visual studio had me install v2.7 azure tools.
I cannot convert the outdated project to v2.7 as it is asking me to, and 2.6 is not compatible with vs 2015. I need to access this project and continue working on it.
Anyone have this issue? Know of any work arounds?
Exact alert message:
This project is associated with Microsoft Azure Tools - v2.6 which is not supported in Visual Studio 2015. You must upgrade the project to target Microsoft Azure Tools -v2.7.
Download Microsoft Azure Tools -v2.7(already done)
Convert the project to target Microsoft Azure Tools -v2.7 (I can't, it is in production, and i don't have rights to do so)
Try this - If you still have access to VS 2013, install the 2.7 SDK for 2013, upgrade the project in 2013 and then try opening in 2015 w/ 2.7.

How to install Biztalk 2013 Project Templates in Visual Studio 2012?

Doing some work on a proof of concept in Azure VM with SQL Server 2012, BizTalk 2013 and Visual Studio 2012. All 3 (SQL, BizTalk and Visual Studio) are on the same VM. In visual studio 2012, I cannot see any project templates for BizTalk.
I installed the Windows Azure BizTalk Services preview but unfortunately, that only installs two templates both for BizTalk Azure services (not orchestrations, etc.).
I tried running (as admin) devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates to no avail.
All I'm trying to do is have the BizTalk project templates installed in VS2012 so I can create an orchestration.
Ideas? Suggestions?
As part of the Biztalk installation, there's an option to install the developer tools and SDK. If it's not installed initially, you can go into control panel, modify the installation and add it there.
If the dev tools and SDK are grayed out, it's because IIS ASPNET 4.5 and WCF HTTP ACTIVATION 4.5 prerequisites have not been met. Ironically enough, once you meet said requirements, they'll appear during installation (as seen in the image below). In order enable the SDK option, I've found that installing Excel, in addition to several IIS options will enable the installation option. Credit to this blog entry for pointing me in the right direction.
TL;DR Install Visual Studio 2012 FIRST to get ASPNET 4.5 and WCF HTTP requirements met before installing BizTalk. Not sure why they couldn't just say something during the BizTalk installation. Maybe have a "Development environment" mode or type of installation where they'd mention having VS installed first.

Where can I download Azure SDK for Visual Studio 2010?

Has anyone recently tried to download Azure SDK for Visual Studio 2010? Going to the Azure site doesn't give the option any more; it only allows downloading SDK for VS2012 and VS2013.
Is VS2010 no longer supported?
Use the Web Platform Installer and search for "azure 2010".
The Azure 2.1 SDK is available for Visual Studio 2010 (with SP1).
Windows Azure SDK and Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio (March 2011)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15658
it should not give you any problems.
If you're trying to download the latest SDK (version 2.2), it is not supported for VS 2010. See this blog post from Scott Guthrie: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2013/10/22/windows-azure-announcing-release-of-windows-azure-sdk-2-2-with-lots-of-goodies.aspx. You should be able to download/install earlier versions of SDK using Web Platform Installer.
Unfortunately, this is not working with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. The web platform installer is responding with a list of errors.

Will it be possible to build Metro Style App with the actual VS2012 professional?

I'm on MS Dreamspark page. I can see that there is a VS2012 Express for web and VS2012 Express for Windows 8. However, for the The professional version, there's only one product called VS2012 professional. Will it be possible to build Metro Style App with the actual VS2012 professional when windows 8 is out? I'm really confused.
Thanks for helping
You can get the Metro (Win Store) SDK for the VS Express and while installing the templates will be installed under your professional version of VS.
The "Metro" template has been renamed to "Windows Store" as "Metro" is no longer being used by Microsoft. It is in VS Professional.

Installing Azure SDK on Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

I am currently setting up a development VPC to test some new technology. I have installed VS 2010 Beta 2.
I now want to install the Azure development tools. The latest download that I have been able to find is the July CTP. This is suposed to work with Beta 1.
I get the following error message:
Visual Studio 2008 is currently installed but this product requires Service Pack 1. Please install SP1 and try again.
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 requires the Visual Web Developer feature to be installed in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (Standard or above).
Am I missing something or is it not possible to install it on Beta 2?
AFAIK Windows Azure Tools only supports VS 2010 Beta 1. I expect a new version with support for Beta 2 pretty soon though (at least when the PDC comes around.)
