I have VS2013 and I m getting started with CRM development. I have downloaded CRM SDK 2016 and unzip it but it is not containing a msi file. I saw a couple of videos they suggest msi package should be run to make sdk and crm development tools available. Is it not fully supported ? Kindly guide how I can install SDK 2016 with VS 2013.
I'm using this download for the SDK.
My purpose is to connect to CRM 2016 online using VS2013 for learning.
You'll find a vsix extension for Visual Studio in the SDK\Templates folder where you extracted the SDK. It supports Visual Studio 2012, 2013 and 2015.
When building custom plugins or other projects that reference the CRM API, add the corresponding NuGet package to your project.

I have VS 15 installed but it started crashing after I installed BIDS.
I know VS 17 may not be compatible with BIDS but is there a workaround because I am unable to find download links for VS 13 or older.
I have the following tools installed:
SQL Server Data Tools

SQL Server Reporting Services

Thanks
At the moment VS 2017 is not supported. Here is quote from Dynamics 365 Report Authoring extension software requirements:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
So the only way out for you is to install VS 2015/2013/2012/2010. Good luck.
I have installed VS 2015 community edition. I am looking forward to develop outlook add-in for outlook 2010 or on wards. I can't find any outlook add-in option in project template of VS. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Luckily for you I ran into this recently and found this very helpful page.
How to install Office Developper Tools for VS Community Edition ? (sic)
Download and install Visual Studio 2015 Update3 Community
Download and Install Microsoft Web Platform Installer

Then install Microsoft Office Developer Tools Update2 for Visual Studio 2015
We need to develop add-in for the Office 2016. We are using the Visual studio 2013. It is only showing the Office 2013 add-in templates. Is it possible to create Office 2016 add-in from Visual studio 2013? If so, kindly let me know the steps.
You need VS 2015 to get the specific templates for Office 2016. VSTO only ever provides templates for "current" versions of Office.
If Office 2013 is installed you can develop an Add-in for it. There should be no problem installing and running it in Office 2016 - unless you want to use technology specific to 2016. In that case, you could use late-binding (PInvoke) for the 2016-specific portions, but debugging/testing would be a bit of a pain.
You can download the free Visual Studio 2015 Community edition (https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx) as well as the VSTO package (https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/features/office-tools-vs.aspx): VSTO does integrate into the Community edition for version 2015 (and 2013, for that matter). Licensing restrictions would apply, of course.
Other than that, you'd need to upgrade to a full VS 2015.
You can develop and run Office 2016 addins in VS2013. No need to upgrade to VS2015.
Install VSTO 4.0 extension for VS2013
Create Office 2013 plugin using Visual Studio template
Open project file and replace office version string "15.0" to "16.0" in ProjectExtensions section. Look for this of similar string to edit:
OfficeVersion="15.0" VstxVersion="4.0" ApplicationType="Outlook" Language="cs" TemplatesPath="" DebugInfoExeName="#Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\InstallRoot\Path#outlook.exe"
Yes, it is possible. The add-in created in Visual Studio 2013 can be run in Office 2016. You can read more about that in the Running Solutions in Different Versions of Microsoft Office article.
In case if you need to use new methods and properties available only in Office 2016 you can use the Reflection mechanism (see Type.InvokeMember).
there is an example for Outlook, i tried it for Excel and it works as well.
my example:
<ProjectProperties HostName="Excel" HostPackage="{29A7B9D7-A7F1-4328-8EF0-6B2D1A56B2C1}" OfficeVersion="16.0" VstxVersion="4.0" ApplicationType="Excel" Language="vb" TemplatesPath="" DebugInfoExeName="#Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\InstallRoot\Path#excel.exe" DebugInfoCommandLine="/x" AddItemTemplatesGuid="{DCFE8D25-4715-4C33-9EAB-A34A9EBC9544}" />
i changed
OfficeVersion="15.0"
to
OfficeVersion="16.0"
and the path to Excel
#Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\
as well, finally it starts in Excel 2016...
I ran a windows system restore on my Windows 7 PC
Now when I open my visual studio solutions in VS2015 Update1 , when I type into the source code, no changes are accepted.
I can create new projects, and I can open the source files in notepad.
I have tried restarting the computer.
The problem disappears if I uninstall Resharper Ultimate 10, and re-appears if I reinstall it.

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.
