Regarding installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 - visual-studio

I am trying to download the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017. I first downloaded Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ . Running it does not give me the option of installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.

Any previous versions of VS can no longer be installed with the VS installer. Here's a link Microsoft's page for older VS versions: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/
Hope this helps!

Is it safe to install Visual Studio 2019 preview side-by-side with Visual studio 2019 (Blazor wants the preview)?

I want to try out Blazor and it wants Visual Studio 2019 Preview. Now, I already have Visual Studio 2019 (Professional) on my machine. It is safe to install the Preview version side-by-side?
Tried to find any help on forums, but didn't find any advice.
Ok, I'll answer my question myself. Visual Studio 2019 Preview works fine side-by-side with released Visual Studio 2019. And I only got Blazor to install after I installed VS 2019 Preview.
Link to official Blazor Getting Started Documentation which specifically requires the Preview version (as of today)

How to install regular version (not preview) of Visual Studio?

I'm trying to install regular version (not preview) of Visual Studio Community by using Visual Studio Intaller. In it, I can see list of versions that are installed and available, but all of these versions are preview. My installed versions are Visual Studio Community 2017 Preview and Visual Studio Community 2019 Preview. Versions that are available to be installed are Visual Studio Enterprise and Professional 2017 and 2019 Preview.
How can I install Visual Studio Community 2017 (or 2019) that is not preview version?
Please download the VS community 2017 installer and run this installer as administrator, then check the available version again.

Visual Studio 2015 RC Outlook reference

I'm trying to add the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook reference to a project in Visual Studio 2015 RC. But it doesn't appear in my current installed references. I've found some additional installers for Office Developer tools, but these all require Visual Studio 2013 or lower. Has the installer for Visual Studio 2015 been released yet? Or is there any other way to send an e-mail via Outlook in Visual Studio 2015?
I had the same problem and after a search I found the below link:
Latest Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015
I clicked and installed
Go grab the latest version with aka.ms/GetLatestOfficeDevTools.
Now I can see
Microsoft Outlook 15.0 Object Library
Hope it helps.

The extension manifest is invalid, CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix

I just downloaded the CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix from the official composite CMS C1 documentation website and I'm getting an error when trying to install this.
I'm on Windows 8 using Visual Studio 2010 pro
CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix
Has anyone been able to successfully install this extension?
Thanks
David
I am afraid that VSIX extensions
CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix
CompositeC1RazorExtensions.vsix
are only compatible with Visual Studio 2012, as it reads on these pages:
http://docs.composite.net/Functions/User-Control-Functions/Creating-User-Control-Functions/Creating-User-Control-Functions-in-Visual-Studio
http://docs.composite.net/Functions/Razor/Creating-Razor-Functions/Creating-Razor-Functions-in-Visual-Studio
Note. The current version of the extension works with Visual Studio
2012 only.
David i am also using Windows 8 .I have installed visual studio 2010 and 2012. i got this CompositeC1WebFormExtensions.vsix working well with Visual studio 2012...
I think it is compatible with visual studio 2012 only...
