AWS Explorer not visible in Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition) - visual-studio

I am trying to install AWS toolkit on MS Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition) using the link here, but I can't find AWS Explorer in VIEW menu of VS:
Tried a couple of workarounds, such as in this thread, but could not find a solution. Tried reinstalling the AWS toolkit and Visual studio as well.
Additional Info: I have installed Visual Studio in D drive, while the AWS Toolkit is installed in the default directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\AWS SDK for .NET

You can download a preview version of the toolkit for Visual Studio 2017. It works as a charm in the released Community Edition. Use this link to get it: Download AWS SDK extension to VS 2017
This is an VS extension, and it will link to - as Collin M. Barrett so rightly pointed out - to the actual AWS SDK for Net (Visual Studio).

The toolkit is actually here: https://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio/ (What you are linking to is the SDK.) And, I don't think they have a release available for Visual Studio 2017 yet, unfortunately.

Go to tool -> Extension and Updates -> Just Enable the AWS tool kit if it is installed

Visual studio 2013 sdk official not officially available anymore [duplicate]

I have Visual Studio 2013 and want to install SDK for it.
Can't add 2015 SDK because it is part of VS 2015 installation, I couldn't find a stand alone installation.
2013 SDK was removed from the official site.
It is also not contained in my installation package for VS.
Thanks
Apart from excellent answer by Sara Liu - MSFT, I was able to find a Visual Studio 2013 SDK - Microsoft Go! download page from google. The direct link was go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9832352 and it downloaded a +13Mb vssdk_full.exe
Please navigate to this: Download older versions of VS and click the ‘Join now for free’ to sign in with your Microsoft account, if you are not a subscriber. Then confirm to join the VS Dev Essential if you have not joined before. Click ‘Downloads’ and search with the keyword ‘Visual Studio 2013 SDK’, you will get the download link as below:

The 'XamarinShellPackage' package did not load correctly

I have encountered the following error:
The 'XamarinShellPackage' package did not load correctly.
It happens when i start Visual Studio 2015 Community Update 3 Or Visual studio 15 Preview 4.
I even reinstalled windows 10 and it doesn't help.
As asked, pasting VS info:
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 15 Preview 4
Version 15.0.25618.0 PREVIEW
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.01586
Installed Version: Enterprise
Visual Basic 15 Preview 4 00369-50000-00000-AA551

Xamarin 4.1.1.8 (60e5c00)
Xamarin.Android 6.1.1.1 (7db2aac)
Xamarin.iOS 9.8.1.4 (3cf8aae)
The tooling in the version information here is a little out of date. The solution in this case was to perform a thorough uninstall of Xamarin in Windows and reinstall using the latest available Stable release. I linked #Dorad to the direct download, but you can find this by signing into Xamarin.com, navigating to the Downloads page and selecting the download from the relevant drop-down list for your OS / desired Xamarin platform:
Another quick thing people can try that worked for me was deleting the .vs folder from the root of the solution folder. Make sure VS is closed when you do it.
There is a potential workaround you may want to try while we finish up a fix for this.
Please, close all open VS instance and copy this file (note you may need to adjust the path to your specific VS instance):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib\netstandard.dll"
to the Xamarin extension folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarin.VisualStudio
And then open VS and check if you can still repro.
thanks,
I had the same problem after the latest VS2017 update..I resolved uninstalling an extension (Visual Studio Bitbucket plugin) which - apparently - was in conflict with XamarinShellPackage. Removing the extension and restarting VS did the trick for me.

Can We Install Xamarin Mobile Development Tools in Visual Studio 2012

I am trying to install xamarin tools in visual studio 2012 but whenever i go to this link below
Xamarin Download Link
It comes with xamarin tools for visual studio 2015 . Had microsoft stopped xamarin modile development tools integration in visual studio 2012.
As you can read here they do still support 2012 https://www.xamarin.com/faq
You can try downloading it here https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/dcd5b7bd-48f0-4245-80b6-002d22ea6eee
You can also acces the extension installation from within VS 2012. I believe it will be under tools Menu and then extensions and updates

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...

Enabling windows azure tools to get Windows Azure project

I am trying to create a webproject which can be deployed on azure. I have VS 2010 trial version (pro) installed on windows 7. When i click cloud (under VC#) i am prompted to install Windows azure tools. I do this. I get the tools installed message. I restart VS 2010. But i fail to find windows azure web project template, which should have been installed. It just shows me the same sequence of screens (install tools etc). I am executing VS 2010 under administrator role.
Steps described # http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff687127.aspx
Questions
Is Windows azure template projects not allowed in Trial edition of VS 2010 pro?
Can such a project be made using VS 2010 express?
Thank you
Sameer
I'm not sure about trial versions, as I've never tried installing with a trial edition. However: I've run other software packages with trial versions of Visual Studio, without issue.
The SDK will work with Visual Studio 2010 Pro and above, as well as Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (downloadable here).
For installing the tools properly, I'd suggest going here and installing via Web Platform Installer. It will make sure you have all needed dependencies.
