VSTO support for VS 2015 community edition - visual-studio

I have installed VS 2015 community edition. I am looking forward to develop outlook add-in for outlook 2010 or on wards. I can't find any outlook add-in option in project template of VS. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Luckily for you I ran into this recently and found this very helpful page.

How can I get Microsoft Dynamics 365 to appear in the list of data sources when creating a report in Visual Studio 2017?

vs studio data source list
I have VS 15 installed but it started crashing after I installed BIDS.
I know VS 17 may not be compatible with BIDS but is there a workaround because I am unable to find download links for VS 13 or older.
I have the following tools installed:
SQL Server Data Tools
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt
SQL Server Reporting Services
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/create-deploy-and-manage-mobile-and-paginated-reports
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh699675.aspx
Thanks
At the moment VS 2017 is not supported. Here is quote from Dynamics 365 Report Authoring extension software requirements:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
So the only way out for you is to install VS 2015/2013/2012/2010. Good luck.

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.

Cannot install VS2010 SP1

I believe this falls under the "software tools" requirement. :)
I have tried to install VS2010 SP1 twice. Both times, it installed successfully, but when I open up VS2010, it still says RTMLDR.
I'm just trying to do this so I can install the WP 7.1 SDK, but when I try to do this after "installing" SP1, the SDK installer says that I need SP1.
I did some searching online, but have only found information regarding actually errors during the installation.
Here's the info in the dialog:

I looked at Add/Remove programs and didn't actually see SP1 there.
I have disabled Indent Guides, PowerCommands, Productivity Power Tools, an VSCommands 2010, since I know I've updated to SP1 on another system that had .NETMF 4.1 and WiX. Then I reinstalled SP1 and it's still coming up as RTM. I looked for the KB numbers in "uninstall an update", and sure enough, they are not there.
I then uninstalled .NETMF 4.1 and WiX 3.5 and that didn't help either. I then did a repair on my VS2010 installation -- no luck. And now I've just uninstalled and reinstalled VS2010, and I still cannot get SP1 installed. Once again, no errors are reported after installation.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
