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

I have recently installed Visual Studio(VS) 2015 on my desktop on Windows operating system. I thought when I opened the VS 2015, I expected to see the Xamarin in it, but it does not. Then I installed the Xamarin again, and again and again, but still Xamarin does not show up in VS 2015.
I wonder what is wrong? what am I missing? By the way, I still have Visual Studio 2013 on my system.
solution:
uninstall all the existing versions of visual studio ( 2010, 2012, 2013) except Visual Studio 2015 and then install Xamarin, and then you could able to see Xamarin on Visual Studio 2015.
Hope this will useful for you.,
File - > New -> Project -> and Click Open Visual Studio Installer. Check this image

I downloaded latest visual studio 2017 and I have chosen Xamarin while installing it and I already have visual studio 2015 with Xamarin and I was able to develop visual studio Xamarin.winphone along with Xamarin.ios and Xamarin.Droid.
I am aware winphone is deprecated in visual studio 2017 and I thought to develop Xamarin.uwp by migrating all my winphone code uwp.
But When I create a new Xamarin native project I am not able to find Xamarin.uwp but I can find Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Droid.
Here is the screenshot
What could have gone wrong ?
Please check if you have installed Windows 10 SDK. The following is check steps.
Enter the “Visual Studio Installer” in the conrtana search box.
Click the modify button in the window of Visual Studio Installer.
Select the version you need to install.
I installed Xamarin first and then installed Visual Studio 2013. But when I open Visual Studio it doesn't show the Xamarin components when I try to create a new project for Xamarin.
What I should do so that I can work on Xamarin with the help of Visual Studio 2013?
For this you must install "Extensions for Visual Studio" plug in, which is delivered with Xamarin. So you must run XamarinInstaller again - but you don't have to uninstall anything, just run it again.
Update: As I see, they offer on their website "Visual Studio tool for Xamarin". So try this one.
I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional and would like to know how/what should I download from the Xamarin website to integrate into VS 2015 Pro to develop Android apps with Xamarin.
Just download the universal installer from their website
During Visual Studio installation, you have the option to select C#/.NET(Xamarin) under Cross-Platform Development.
You can Modify/Repair the Visual Studio install and select Xamarin and any other components (e.g. Android SDK if it was not selected previously, although they can also be installed separately) and update the installation. Install details/reference here
I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.
