Visual Studio 2015 vdproj file into Visual Studio 2022

I'm migrating a Visual Studio 2015 solution to Visual Studio 2022. The solution includes a "Setup and Deployment" vdproj project and Studio 2022 says it is incompatible. Is there an Add-in that I need? How can I bring in the existing (2015) installation project?
You can download an official Microsoft extension that provides support for Visual Studio Installer Projects in Visual Studio 2022.

BizTalk and Visual Studio 2017

Can Visual Studio 2017 be used for BizTalk project work?
I seemed to get issues when I open a solution file that relates to BizTalk using Visual Studio 2017.
i.e. Errors re. the .btproj files.
Error is "the application which this project type is based on was not found."
Please try this link for further information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=299083&projecttype=EF7E3281-CD33-11D4-8326-00C04FA0CE8D
This link doesn't seem to specifically mention Visual Studio 2017 be used for BizTalk project work.
Each version of BizTalk requires a specific version of Visual Studio. Currently the latest version is BizTalk 2016, which requires Visual Studio 2015 see Hardware and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2016
When BizTalk 2020 comes out it will be Visual Studio 2019. So no, you can't use Visual Studio 2017 for BizTalk development
Note: You will have needed to run the BizTalk Setup and installed the Developer SDK after you have installed the correct Visual Studio.
BizTalk 2020 projects require Visual Studio 2019
BizTalk 2016 projects require Visual Studio 2015
BizTalk 2013 R2 projects require Visual Studio 2013
BizTalk 2013 projects require Visual Studio 2012
BizTalk 2010 projects require Visual Studio 2010
With Visual Studio 2019 you also have to install an extension, see Biztalk 2020 - Project not showing in Visual Studio 2019

How to select the Visual Studio version to use on the build machine?

We have a buildmachine that currently has installed Visual Studio 2010 to compile our application.
Now we have moved to Visual Studio 2015 and developers have installed it on their machines and modified the solution so it works with 2015 but the previous versions will continue to build with 2010.
I was going to install Visual Studio 2015 on the build machine but I don't know how the build machine will know that the previous branches must be built with 2010 and the new ones with 2015. With some Msbuild settings? Just looking at the sln? By other means?
With some Msbuild settings? Just looking at the sln? By other means?
Open your .sln file with Notepad. Look for Format Version on the first line which correlates with a Visual Studio version.
•Format Version 11.00 is Visual Studio 2010
•Format Version 12.00 is Visual Studio 2013 && Visual Studio 2013
For visual studio 2013 and visual studio 2015, we could find the visual studio version on the third line. like this:
visual studio 2013: VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.30501.0
visual studio 2015: VisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
As far as I know it does it looking at the ToolsVersion on every .csproj. VisualStudio is not required as MsBuild and the compiler come with the .Net Framework.

Visual Studio 2010 disappears after installing Visual Studio 2013

First I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional, then I installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
How to run Visual Studio 2010?
In Visual Studio 2013 - No problem.
But in Visual Studio 2010 - Visual Studio 2010 disappears.
The older version must be installed first, since the installation does not downgrade.
First install the 2010 version and then to 2013.

How to develop VSPackages in Visual Studio 2015 RC?
NOTE
I already have Visual Studio 2015 RC SDK installed.
In VS 2015, you start with a VSIX project, and then add Items, like for example a VSPackage - see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/05/29/extending-visual-studio-2015.aspx
