I have just updated my Visual Studio to the version 16.8.5.
I create some add-in for Office and distribute them via ClickOnce to my organization. When I opened my solutions, the setup projects are not supported anymore because incompatible.
I tried to add a new setup project but I can't find any.
How can I create setup now?
For same reason, I must reinstall the plugin Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects although the plugin is installed and activated.

I have created a VSTO Excel Addin and deployed it via Visual Studio Installer. Now I want to update the deployed addin. I have tried to change Product code, Upgrade code & version in Project Properties of Visual Studio Installer Project but it does not update the installation. How i can update the installation ?
You must not change the upgrade code, that will break your upgrade process.
You must increase the version and change the product code for a major upgrade. Read the linked MSDN article for more details.
Goal:
I try to open a visual studio project (c#) with CLR code for SQL Server from the Pluralsight course.
Issue:
I get no error messages just warnings below after One-way upgrade on Visual Studio 2017.
Your project is targeting .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0. If your project
uses assemblies requiring a newer .NET Framework, your project will
fail to build. You can change the .NET Framework version by clicking
Properties on the project menu and then selecting a new version in the
'.NET Framework' dropdown box. (In Visual Basic, this is located on
the Compile tab by clicking the 'Advanced Compiler Options...'
button.)
When I open a solution with single project inside I get message below
The Project Needs to be migrated
or
The Project Needs to be loaded
Tried:
I tried editing csproj files with newer/older version numbers.
I tried different PCs with Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015
Idea: Install Visual Studio 2010 as course was released in 2010 BUT I really do not want that.
When I got this issue, I tried reloading the project and when I did, it told me that I did not have an SDK installed and then it offered to install the SDK. Once I had the SDK installed, the project loaded and I was able to work with the project.
Until now I only used Visual Studio for Business Intelligence development and now I have to do something in C# that uses Google Drive API which has to be installed through NuGet Package Manager. Unfortunately I don't see this particular package in Visual Studio Extensions and Update manager. I though it may be related to lack of Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console option in my VS, so I wanted to install package manager. I downloaded .vsix file, but when I try to install, it fails with message This extension is not installable on any current installed products. I got VS 2015, 2013 and 2010 installed.
So if I'm not able to install package manager, there is at least any way to install google drive api without involving NuGet?
Drive api package name: Google.Apis.Drive.v3
EDIT: I did reset all Visual Studio settings since it was set for Business Intelligence development, but this didn't help as well.
Please make sure your Visual Studio 2015 has installed the latest update. The latest version for Visual Studio 2015 should be version 14.0.25431.01.
If your Visual Studio 2015 is the latest version, please try repair your Visual Studio 2015 to check whether there has any installation issue.
And you also can install nuget packages without NuGet Package Manager. Please download the NuGet package and unzip it to local folder, which will list all content of this package. Then add the dlls in the unzipped folder into your project through Add Reference.
You do realize that SSDT and BIDS are for use with project types that are specific to SQL Server business intelligence. Business Intelligence Development Studio is the primary environment that you will use to develop business solutions that include Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects.
To my knowledge you are not going to be able to install NuGet on it or use it to develop an actually C# application.
I am going to take a wild guess here and say you are trying to use google drive with a Script task. You can do this I did it a number of years ago. The set up is a bit weird. Your going to have to create a normal C# application in NORMAL visual studio with Nuget and it will install all of the Dlls for you at that time.
Now that you have all of the dlls. You are going to have to dump them in GAC and the folders that SSIS needs
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\PipelineComponents
The 100 part changes depending upon which version of Sql server you are using
2005 = 90
2008 = 100
2014 = 110 (I think I cant remember)
Once the dlls are in the correct folders you should then be able to use it in a scripting task.
Note: I am not 100% sure any of this will even work anymore. When I did it the client library still supported .net 3.5. Now you need to be able to use .Net 4.5 I am not sure if the newer version of Sql server will be able to handle the higher level of .net dll or if they all require 3.5.
Checked with a coworker his guess is that Sql server 12+ should support .Net 4.5 dlls.
I have an inherited project in Visual Studio 2008 for which I need to create a build plan. Since the developer left no unit tests, I'm really, really hesitant to upgrade the project to VS 2010.
That said, my solution for NOT storing binaries in our source control mechanism (SVN) is to use a Nuget repository that I host. Ideally, what I would do is:
WITHOUT upgrading the VS 2008 project, remove the references and instead insert a *.pkg reference
Host the dlls in a NuGet Package on my local NuGet server
Let my Build rip so to speak.
Note that I have Visual Studio 2010 and NuGet installed - I just don't want to run the upgrade wizard. How could I go about doing this?
You can use Sharp Develop 4.1 to install packages in older solutions ( 2005/2008)
Sharp Develop doesn't change the version of Visual Studio.

I think Visual Studio 2010 has to be installed with the plugin, but you already did that :-)
I have installed full version licensed Visual Studio 2010 Professional, .Net 4.0 on my system. Now I am trying to install Active Reports 6 on it and facing the error "no compatible version of visual studio net found on system". My Active Reports build is 6.0.1.1797.0.
So, do I need to install framework 3.5 before installing? I have not installed Service Pack for visual Studio for now.
Thanks.
Active reports 6.0.1797.0 does not support Visual Studio 2010. Active reorts 6.1.2577 or later supports Visual Studio 2010. And any how, Express edition of visual studio does not support active reports.
So my solution, enhances...I installed the later versions...but unfortunately I am getting some errors in my application because of Active reports version change as my application was made in previous version of Active Reports. So, what I did is, installed the latest version, uninstalled it and again installed 6.0.1797.0 version, and it was installed successfully and my application was also working fine.
#rapsalands...You are correct in understanding that support for Visual Studio 2010 started only after build 6.1.2577.0 was released. Also express edition of Visual Studio is not supported. The first thing to note here is that whenever you install/uninstall ActiveReports 6 from your machine, there should be no running instance of Visual Studio as it affects proper integration of ActiveReports with itself.
Also the errors which you were getting are more likely appearing because of the incorrect references in your project. Whenever you open an existing project after upgrading ActiveReports build, you should remove all the ActiveReports references from the project, re-add them (making sure they point to the version currently installed) and finally rebuild your project.
I think you can also check the blogs for ActiveReports as you might find some useful information about different topics there.
