I have a solution, developed in VS2012 with Microsofts CRM toolkit.
Is there any way to open this in VS2015?
Errormessage:
Workflow\Workflow.csproj: The application which this project type is
based on was not found.
I have installed
Jason Lattimer's CRM Developer Extensions
and it's great for new projects, but what about my old projects?
You have two options. First is to rewrite your old workflows in Jason Lattimers CRM Developer Extensions. Second is to install CRM developer toolkit on VS2015 - it's a bit tricky but not impossible, here you can find how to do it for VS2013 but for 2015 is very similar.

UPD: I found old article that I used a few years ago and followed me step-by-step with deploy using Windows Installer Deploying a VSTO Solution Using Windows Installer. Problem solved
I wrote a custom add-ins menu for Office using Visual Studio Community 2019. Now I'm trying to deploy it. In this article Deploy an Office solution by using Windows Installer they used VS2013 and InstallShield Limited Edition, which doesn't work with VS Community 2019. I installed Advanced Installer but in the Help section "Create a package to deploy an Office Add-In developed in Visual Studio" says "The following article uses options that are available starting with the Professional edition and project type." what means I need to upgrade free version to commercial.
Could you please recommend any other Windows Installer for Office solution for Visual Studio Community 2019? Or any step-by-step article how to deploy solution by using Setup Project in VS Community 2019?
I remember I tried to do some deploy in old version of VS a few years ago, but nowadays it seems more complicated. I just want to try and see if my add-ins work in another computer and then I'll think about commercial versions of VS or Installers
Thanks,
Elena
You can build the package using the free version of Advanced Installer too, but you will have to create all the registry entries (those related to your addin) manually and also the same for adding the files in the package, as documented in the MS article.
The wizard that you mention above does this automatically by reading the necessary info to make the configs from your Visual Studio solution.
Disclaimer: I work on the team building Advanced Installer.
I can't find CRM 2016 Toolkit for Visual Studio and CRM Developer Extension do not support CRM 2016(I have tried and it fails).
Anyone know what's going on?
Best regards

The toolkit is no longer offered in the SDK. It had a lot of problems anyway. Check out the excellent open source alternative, CRM Developer Extensions.
I know that this is not an appropriate question for here.
But I've looked everywhere, and cannot find an appropriate solution.
What im trying to do is install CRM 2015 SDK on to Visual Studio 2013, to develop plugins, web resources etc..
I know its a stupid question , but can you please help.
The SDK for CRM 2015 doesn't include the Developer Tools (unlike the previous versions). They're to be shipped at a later date (AFAIK they still haven't picked one).
Microsoft says you should be able to make do with the 2013 version, if you update the DLLs references from the 6.x to the new 7.x version ones. Also, you'll probably have to toy with the target framework (CRM 2015's plugins must target .NET 4.5.2).
I personally gave up on the Developer Tools a long time ago, and have gone back to building Class Libraries, since I have to tweak 2011, 2013 and 2015 environments, both on-premise and online ... and multiple Dev Tools setups don't "stack" nicely on the same VS installation.
I currently have office 2010 installed, and am trying to assist a coworker who's still using 2007 with VSTO solution. This is turning into a mess since my copy of visual studio thrashes the project files updating them to point to the O2010 dlls. If I were to install office 2007 beside 2010 would I be able to open the solution without the upgrade wizard mangling everything, or are my only options making significant architectural changes to the solution or reverting to O2007 until my employer makes O2010 the new standard.
You cannot run Outlook versions side-by-side (and here).
You can still target both 2007 and 2010, but you need to research embedded interop types.
You shouldn't need to install Office 2007 to create Office 2007 add-ins. I think the problem here is that you're missing the proper VSTO components.
Make sure you've installed the following:
All .NET and developer tools from Office (from the Office 2010 installer -- no need for the Office 2007 installer)
Microsoft Office Developer Tools from Visual Studio (from the VS installer)
Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system (version 3.0 Runtime)
If any of these are already installed then I recommend repairing their installations.
Try disabling this option:
Options > Office Tools > Project Upgrade > Always upgrade to installed version of Office (more info here)
I don't think this solves the root problem which is that you shouldn't even be prompted to upgrade your project. I still suspect that there is something wrong with the installation of your VSTO-related components (see my other answer for that info). However this may be an easy workaround.
To be clear, you can develop Office 2007 add-ins without having Office 2007 installed. I'm doing so right now without having to follow this workaround.
I hope someone can help; I would like to implement reporting in a project I am writing in Visual Studio Express Web Edition 2010 (MVC2 SQL Server Express backend). After Googling I came across this Microsoft site:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/is/Vsexpressvcs/thread/60c328ec-e34c-4937-be3b-e6fc41d35711
The link above describes that Reporting is supported in Visual Studio Express Web Edition via the ReportViewer 2010 redistributable (reports are written via Business Intelligence Studio [there is an add on for SQL Express]) and the control is added to the toolbox.
I have installed the redistributable but cannot find the control to add to my toolbox – all I seem to have is the Crystal Reports viewer?
What am I doing wrong? What is the name of the control? Where does it get installed to? Or have I misunderstood, if so what are my options for getting some very simple reports published to the web (fixed layout forms)?
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
if you have been struggling with the same situation described above and fall into one of the following categories small business (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/noahc/archive/2009/11/12/way-to-get-visual-studio-professional-for-free.aspx
Basically if you are trying to start your own company register for WebSiteSpark – very quick and easy all you need is a Microsoft passport and then you get access to MSDN editions of Visual Studio Professional and a few OS's.
If you are already a small business and need Microsoft development tools you can get MSDN editions by registering for BizSpark and receive three licence free years.
And finally if you are student register for the DreamSpark.
I hope this helps you all, I wont get into how bizarre it is that Microsoft has removed features but it is nice to know there is (in my opinion) a very awesome solution!
Cheers
David
