I downloaded the Xamarin add-in to my Visual Studio 2013, and now my VS is trashed, because it appears to work ONLY with VS 2015. Isn't there a VS 2013 version?
I didn't actually complete the installation because I noticed that it keeps wanting to install VS 2015 Community Edition and add Xamarin to that rather than add it to my existing VS 2013 installation. I haven't found an answer yet searching the web, but if I find one, I'll post here.

My laptop has Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I have both Visual Studio Community 2017 and Visual Studio Community 2019 installed.
I am seeing that the recent projects and solutions list is shared between Visual Studio Community 2017 and Visual Studio Community 2019.
For example:
I open Visual Studio Community 2017, open a solution named
A_2017, work on it, close it and finally close Visual Studio Community 2017.
Then I open Visual Studio Community 2019, open a solution named
B_2019, work on it, close it and finally close Visual Studio Community 2019.
Now I open Visual Studio Community 2017 again and check the Recent
Projects and Solutions list and I see B_2019 as the first entry
in there although I never opened that solution with Visual Studio Community 2017.
Is it possible that recent projects and solutions list is not shared among different versions of Visual Studio? If yes please show how.
Thanks
Finally I settled with a work around. For Visual Studio 2019, I installed this extension from the marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Danielku15.BetterStartPage2019
And created a group for VS 2019 projects and then added 2019 projects to that group.
This extension also has a version for Visual Studio 2017 as well.
I want to try out Blazor and it wants Visual Studio 2019 Preview. Now, I already have Visual Studio 2019 (Professional) on my machine. It is safe to install the Preview version side-by-side?
Tried to find any help on forums, but didn't find any advice.
Ok, I'll answer my question myself. Visual Studio 2019 Preview works fine side-by-side with released Visual Studio 2019. And I only got Blazor to install after I installed VS 2019 Preview.
Link to official Blazor Getting Started Documentation which specifically requires the Preview version (as of today)
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.,

I know this is not exactly a programming question but I don't even know how to google it so here I am.
I currently have Visual Studio 2013 Express and I get the error above when am trying to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Installer Projects extension, what is missing? Any help will be highly appreciated.

As mentioned on the extension page, this requires Visual Studio 2013.
Visual Studio 2013 Express is not Visual Studio 2013 (meaning paid version). Or at least, only a subset, with a different product ID.
You'll have to use the paid version of VS or choose another setup method.
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.
