Deploying DAC Package to SQL Server 2008 R2 - visual-studio-2012

Im new in SSDT and faced with the following problem:
In VS 2012 I have created new Database Project and added few Tables. SQL Server 2008 was selected as target platform. Then I made project snapshot and tried to deploy it on 2008R2 SP2 server.
In the SQL Management Studio, after selecting the .dacpac file in the wizard I got the error:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/dac/Serialization/2012/02'> was not expected. (opnsd5i2)
I can deploy this package to 2012 server without any problems, but my goal is development of database for 2008R2 server.

BizTalk server Virtual Machine - Unable to see sql server and visual studio

I created a BizTalk server Virtual Machine in azure portal(BizTalk server 2013 standard), but I am not able to see the sql server(but I can see SQL server management studio there)and visual studio in the vm. Do I need to install sql server and visual studio manually on a biztalk server Virtual machine?
If both SQL Management Studio and Visual Studio are there, then you must have provisioned an MSDN instance, meaning a full DEV instance.
That means SQL Server is installed. Did you try to connect to SQL Server? You can try '.' or the server name itself.
I've been looking at using Biztalk on Azure recently too, and from what I understand it sounds like you only got a Biztalk Server VM, and not the DEV environment.
In that case you would need to get another VM to host SQL Server, and none of these two VM will have Visual Studio installed (see section "Biztalk Server License Options" https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj248689.aspx).
If what you need is a the full dev environment ready to use, then you need one of the MSDN subscriptions listed as "Full Benefits" here:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/how-to-buy-vs.aspx
Then again, I've been looking into this stuff recently so I could be wrong.

Deploy from Visual Studio Online build to private IIS server

Currently I'm building an ASP.NET MVC project using the new Team Foundation Build 2015 (former Build vNext) feature in Visual Studio Online and I can do a successful deployment to an Azure Website easily.
Also I have a private server with Windows Server 2012 and IIS (you can not access it via the Internet) and I wonder if there is any way to make a deployment from my build in Visual Studio Online. Is it possible?
Yes, it is possible.
You need to set up a on-premise build server machine and register it to the visual studio online account. Please check steps in this blog for the details: http://myalmblog.com/2014/04/configuring-on-premises-build-server-for-visual-studio-online/

Install SQL Server 2014 LocalDb for Azure testing?

I have a web site running in an Azure Cloud Services Web Role, which uses an Azure SQL Database. For development, I use SQL Server LocalDb, which was installed with Visual Studio 2013.
Now that SQL Server 2014 is released, should I switch to its version of LocalDb? Does the new LocalDb provide a more realistic emulation of Azure than the LocalDb that ships with VS2013? If I should switch, what should I uninstall and what should I install? Any other configuration changes?
Microsoft has released an update to SQL Server Data Tools which includes an update to LocalDb. The built-in Visual Studio 2013 Product Updates now includes the SQL Server Data Tools update.

Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 doesn't show Windows Azure node in Server Explorer

Just installed VS Ultimate 2013 version 12.0.30110.00 Update 1, then went to the Windows Azure site and created an account. Also downloaded and installed the Windows Azure 2.2 SDK.
I open visual studio and go to Server Explorer. I see Data Connections, Servers (my machine), and SharePoint Connections. I don't see a Windows Azure Node. I look under the tools menu and see Connect to Database, Connect to Server, Add SharePoint connection.
So I download VS 2013 Express for Web, I open it and see under the tools menu Connect to Database, Connect to Windows Azure. I open the server explorer and see Data Connections, Servers, Windows Azure.
Does the Azure functionality only exist in the Web Express version and not in the Ultimate 2013 version of Visual Studio?
There is a separate set of tools for Windows Azure and Visual Studio. Depending on how you installed the SDK, you may not have received these tools: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee405484.aspx
Additionally, you may need to "sign in" via visual studio for it to see the items in your subscription. You should be able to do this by clicking on the "connect to windows azure" option in the server explorer.
The Windows Azure node ships in the Azure SDK 2.2 and 2.3 as well as in all SKUs of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2. So you should be seeing the node if you have one of those installed.

Error: Access 2013 creating a table that's a linked table to Sharepoint 2007/2013

I am looking at Access 2013 and when trying to create a linked table to a Sharepoint list, I keep receiving an error:
Access Services
Access can't connect to the external data source because the LocalDB component or the SQL Native Client component are not installed.
That's all there is to the error.
I am an admin with "Full Control" rights to Sharepoint. I have tried this on Sharepoint 2007 and 2013.
I'd like for it to work as it does here:
http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-access/archive/2012/08/30/link-to-sharepoint-lists-in-access.aspx
To anyone with same problem above, make sure the following components are installed on the Sharepoint Server:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Local DB (SQLLocalDB.msi)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier Application Framework (Dacframework.msi)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client (sqlncli.msi)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL ScriptDom (SQLDOM.MSI)
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SQLSysClrTypes.msi)
You must restart the SharePoint Server after following the install steps from the previous post.
