This might not be the right forum for an issue I'm having, however, I'm dead in the water until I can solve it.
My VS 2012 solution has a Database project: Database.sqlproj.
Today I hit a colliding package problem that led me to reinstall and repair Sql Server Data Tools to eliminate warnings. The activity log revealed that the installation apps had been creating incorrect names in the registry. Ten+ names in the registry had paths in which a backward slash had been left out between "Program Files(86)\Visual Studio 11.0" and "Common7". The path shown in the errors in the activity log looked like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7
I searched for and corrected those errors in the registry, opened VS 2012 and my project without errors, or so I thought. I discovered that I could no longer 'Publish' the database project. Looking into the SQL Server Object Explorer and the activity log I now see this:
Construction of frame content failed. Frame identifier:
ST:0:0:{fbcae063-e2c0-4ab1-a516-996ea3dafb72} Frame caption: SQL Server Object

Thanks for any help with this,

OK. I uninstalled VS 2012 and then reinstalled with the latest version. That took care of all of the issues.

I installed Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (downloaded from MS download center) and lost the connection to Team Foundation Server from Team Explorer. Before that, I was connected right at VS2012 startup. It is not the case anymore and I cannot connect to Team Foundation Server from any entry in VS (Team menu or Team explorer window).
For instance, nothing happens when I click this link:
No modal error window, no indication of an error occuring in windows event viewer or in VS ActivityLog file in roaming directory, so I assume that there was no error.
I tried these and it changed nothing :
Repair VS2012 from Windows configuration panel
Install Team Explorer for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
based on this blog post: Connecting to TFS
Restore my system from the restoration point of VS2012 update 4. I got this error at restart :
An unspecified error occured during system restore : (Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (KB2707250)). additional data : 0x80070005.
Install VS Update 4 in system admin mode but the result was the same (corrupted VS install)
The only working part left of VS was the source control explorer. Appart from starting and using source control explorer, VS is unusable. e.g. when I started a web application using VS development server, I got an error message saying that my VS installation was probably corrupted. The only way around was to uninstall and reinstall VS. Some of my co workers have installed Update 4 and do not experience the same issue. But this Stackoverflow question is about the same bug.
Team explorer window is very different without Update 4.
From event viewer, I see errors which all have the same pattern. Their occuring time match my attempts to install VS 2012 Update 4
Here are their data (I have filtered and removed duplicates)

You need to click the configure team projects link.
Check your proxy settings from your browser. We generally get this issue when proxy activated. For example fiddler changes proxy settings but sometimes after closing, fiddler does not deactivate proxy again and we face with TFS connection problem.
I have installed VS 2012 which worked perfectly until last updating. Now it can't see common paths. I tryed to customize them but failed. For example I have some project being ok before but now there are glitches all around it:
here are current settings I done:
This is like those folders look:
While a new project is creating I get such messges:
Besides I have not found how to make settings global (not for only the single project). For sure all that is not very sophisticated but I have too little experience with VS. So I will very appreciate for real help!
And the current version is:

The problem is resolved.
The cause was that before updating VS placed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
but after updating here:
B:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
files which paths became broken left at the old location, i.e. here:
c:\Program Files (x86)\VC\
I really don't know why it is possible but reality is such just this.
So the solution was purely empirical:
1. Try to find lost files on the disk where VS was installed before:
Copy them into the directory where it is installed now:
Open any of projects to check if all is correct now:
Checked!
I'm going crazy, trying to use SSDT in Visual Studio 2012. I created a database but I can't add tables etc. because of this error.
I installed:
Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate
SQL Server 2012 Express x64 with Advanced Services, plus WinUpdates
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 x86 (couldn't find a specific x64 version)
SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier Application Framework (August 2013 both x86-x64 versions)
Basically I followed this MSDN piece of advice, http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/04ee07bf-31d9-4a60-90ad-bf48c16eb4d1/ssdt-vs2012-error-dac-framework-compatibility?forum=ssdt
but without results
Is there something I have to do, or follow a particular order?
Really this stuff is driving me crazy
Thx evbdy
You need to download the latest version of SSDT from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027. Or you should be able to get it inside Visual Studio by choosing "SQL-> Check for Updates" from the top menu bar. This will install the latest SSDT and DacFx bits, and fix this error.
Unfortunately SSDT and SSDT-BI have confusingly similar names but are separate downloads with different functionality. That's why your installation of the SSDT-BI tool didn't fix this error.
I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:
download and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

can somebody help what I'm missing?
I have installed full version of VS2012 with all components.
thanks
Could you try installing the full package for Visual Studio instead? Link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=254364&clcid=0x409
And for the manual installation you have to know that there are 2 download pages, maybe you downloaded it from the wrong page:
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RC
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 SP1 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RTM
