I am using Visual Studio Professional 2019, and I am not able to see the tfpt.exe. I tried to install Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools, but no luck.
Any guess?
First please check if Visual Studio Team Explorer 2019 is installed. It's a prerequisite for most of the power tools components. Here is a reference.
Go to All downloads > Visual Studio 2019 > Visual Studio Team
Explorer 2019 > Download
In addition, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools could not be applicable to visual studio 2019. Please refer to this case.

Can Visual Studio 2017 be used for BizTalk project work?
I seemed to get issues when I open a solution file that relates to BizTalk using Visual Studio 2017.
i.e. Errors re. the .btproj files.
Error is "the application which this project type is based on was not found."
Please try this link for further information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=299083&projecttype=EF7E3281-CD33-11D4-8326-00C04FA0CE8D
This link doesn't seem to specifically mention Visual Studio 2017 be used for BizTalk project work.
Each version of BizTalk requires a specific version of Visual Studio. Currently the latest version is BizTalk 2016, which requires Visual Studio 2015 see Hardware and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2016
When BizTalk 2020 comes out it will be Visual Studio 2019. So no, you can't use Visual Studio 2017 for BizTalk development
Note: You will have needed to run the BizTalk Setup and installed the Developer SDK after you have installed the correct Visual Studio.
BizTalk 2020 projects require Visual Studio 2019
BizTalk 2016 projects require Visual Studio 2015
BizTalk 2013 R2 projects require Visual Studio 2013
BizTalk 2013 projects require Visual Studio 2012
BizTalk 2010 projects require Visual Studio 2010
With Visual Studio 2019 you also have to install an extension, see Biztalk 2020 - Project not showing in Visual Studio 2019
How do I connect Visual studio 2013 to TFS 2018 server?
I have tried installing an old dap for vs 2010, without much luck.
My server is TFS 2018 u2, desktop has VS 2013 and VS 2015. I can connect with VS 2015, but not with VS 2013.
What do I need to install to get this to work?
You may need to install (or repair) your VS 2013/Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 in the following order:
Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 (requires MSDN subscription)
Visual Studio 2013 update 5 (requires MSDN subscription)
More information please refer to Connect any version of Visual Studio to Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server.
Hellow all, I am using Visual Studio 2017 professional edition. I am unable to open Lightswith (.lsxtproj) projects from it. When I searched in blogs, I received a suggestion of installing the Office Developer Toos for Visual Studio using Visual Studio installation window--> Individual Components --> Development activities section but couldn't help.
Can someone tell me what else I sould install/add in order to open Lightswitch projects using Visual Studio 2017 professional edition.
I have a Visual Studio 2008 *.sln file. However, I can't open it using Visual Studio 2008 Express. It is unable to load the projects. I suspect it might be limited functionalities in the Express edition.
I also have an existing copy of Visual Studio 2015. Do I need to "downgrade" my Visual Studio 2015 to 2008 in order to open the *.sln file?
Edit 1:
Edit 2:
You dont need to downgrade as all version of Visual Studio can exist side by side.
You can easily install the full Visual Studio 2008 on the same machine as Visual Studio 2015. If you have an MSDN licence then you can just download 2008 and install..
I tried following this instruction. but I still cannot get sourceSafe to appear in the available plug in selection.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/Bb166193.aspx
I have two computer. Computer A and Computer B.
Computer A has Visual Studio 2013 Premium and Visual SourceSafe 2005.
and I can see the plug in in the selection
like this
Computer B has visual studio 2015 Express and Visual SourceSafe 2005. And this is all I see
Can you please help me how to add this plug in? Thank you
I install Visual Studio Community 2015 (make sure you use vs_community.exe) and SourceSafe option will be available.
I was using vs_Desktop.exe previously.
Make sure to select and download the community edition instead of the visual studio express for desktop
There is patch for Visual SourceSafe that once installed lets you see the SourceSafe plugin in the Visual Studio Tools|Source Control plugin list here it is
