What to do if Android SDK is not found in Android Studio

I have installed Android Studio, but its not locating Android SDK, I even tried to change the directory, but in vain.
Please check the photo to see the problem
go to the SDK manager just like in you image, press on edit, you'll get a setup wizard that will download the SDK files for you, if you think it's already been installed try to use the following directory
C:\Users'your_username'\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
this is where the SDK is usually downloaded to, also note that the appdata folder is hidden in the file explorer

How to enable Web Development feature in Visual Studio 2015?

I am trying to install Microsoft Azure SDK. I downloaded this version (2.9) of the SDK from here. And I am getting the following error in the picture.
I have Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 installed on my PC. Could it be some sort of compatibility issue. I read on some forum that it won't work if I have different versions of the Azure SDK installed on Visual Studio 2013 and 2015.
But I don't have the SDK installed on any of them. And I can't seem to find any Web Development Feature in the IDE either. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Given the situation, the issue is most probably that the relevant modules for Web Development weren't installed when Visual Studio was installed. Those modules are not selected to be installed by default.
The solution is to simply re-run the setup and select "Modify".
On the list of modules, go to "Windows and Web Development".
You should get Microsoft Web Developer Tools in the list. Just select that and install. That should do the trick.
#alchemist is right but I had deleted the VS2015 installer long ago (right after installing). So I went to the Control Panel > Programs And Features > Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community with Updates > (right-click) > Change
This will bring up the visual studio installer. Click on Modify > Check Microsoft Web Developer Tools > Update.

How do I download the content of a project in Visual Studio TFS?

How do I download the content of a project in Visual Studio TFS? I clicked around and I did not find an easy or intuitive way to do it. It is an old project that I thought had been lost until I reinstalled the latest version of Visual Studio.
You can get the TFS project from Visual Studio. First, you have to connect the project via Team Explorer in Visual Studio then add a server and click 'select team project' and you're done. It is downloaded to your PC.
You can find a documentation here.
EDIT:
Also, if you want to download your code as a zip:
You can click on any ellipsis to find the menu which contains Download as Zip option.
If you merely want an archive of the contents of a folder, you can right-click on the folder in the tree view on the left hand side of the page (in this case, on $/gelsana) and select the option "Download as Zip".
This is suitable for archival purposes. You cannot check-in changes made using this option.

Open Jint solution correctly

I need to open the Jint solution downloaded from here :
https://github.com/sebastienros/jint
(i've downloaded the zip with all the files, later i decompressed them and then i try to open the solution's file using visual studio)
Visual Studio (both 2012 Express and 2013 Express) tell me that the main project is not compatibile, i have tried Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector but still not working.
Anybody can tell me why this happen and how i can open and view that solution with all its projects properly loaded?
Here a screen of my situation :
This project targets the Portable Framework. You might need to install the Windows Phone SDK or some other component depending on your version of Visual Studio. Please refer to this page for more details.

Visual Studio 2012 Windows service .vdproj project migration

I'm trying to move a solution I have over to Visual Studio 2012 and one of the project types is .vdproj.
According to this link this project type is not supported in Visual Studio 2012:
MSDN says they recommend that you use InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio.
The problem is, when I open up my solution in VS2012 and try to add a new "Enable InstallShield Limited Edition" project to my solution, I get an error message saying:
Creating project 'test'...project creation failed.
Why might I not be able to add a project of this type to my solution?
If I make a new empty solution I can't make an InstallShield project it in either.
I'm going to try to download InstallShield limited edition and see if it does anything.
I tried out that InstallShield download, and it added two extra project types, but I'm unable to create either of them. I'm able to add normal website projects to my solutions just fine, but not deployment projects.
The installer was named the same, but this one prompted me to re-start. After re-starting I was able to add an InstallShield project, but it gets created in its own solution. So, it looks like now I have to figure out how to use it, and I'll be good to go.
It's looking like the limited edition doesn't have support to install Windows services.
This will probably be long and boring because there's lots of steps, but I'd like to write up how to move from a Windows service installer .vdproj to the new InstallShield LE that's available in Visual Studio 2012.
Step 1: Create a merge module (.msm)
Follow the steps of this guide.
Notes:
You will need to install WiX 3.6 and isWiX
The latest release of IsWiX doesn't enable the Tools menu item in Visual Studio 2012. Edit the file: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\IsWiXAddin.Addin (XML) and clone the HostApplication element and update 10.0 to 11.0.
In step #8 of the guide, it references a code tab. This has been moved to the XML Editor item in the bottom of the left menu
I left the MergeRedirectFolder empty for my installation
Here is my isWix files view:
After you're done with the guide you should have an empty .wxs file that looks something like this:
Using the Component XML element pulled from here you should end up with a .wxs file that looks like this:
Hit build and you should now have a .msm file.
Step 2: Adding merge module to InstallShield
Go though the wizard to setup the basic install information like company and version information.
Find the redistributables view in ISLE. Right click the list and select browse for module. After your module is found and added, right click the modules and select properties. Set the destination folder drop down to INSTALLDIR. I had to set mine to the lowest level folder I created for my install path, so you might have to experiment a bit.
Build Project, and test on virtual machine
Redistributables Screen
If you're getting errors about the path being too long you might need to change the release location to something close to the root.
Here's a list of all the build errors for reference.
Now you should be able to run your installer and have it install/start a Windows service. A lot more work than .MSI files, we got it to generate in Visual Studio 2010, but overall it was not too bad.
While there is no easy or truly supported solution for Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013 users can get an extension from Microsoft in the Visual Studio Gallery.
I found this post which says you must download InstallShield first. It's a very confusing way to work. I suggest to vote up the post on the connect site and give them comments letting know how poor that is. They could at least give a more descriptive error http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/732196/project-creation-failed-for-installshield-limited-edition#tabs
