Resharper does not detect visual studio 2015 is installed - visual-studio

I have Visual Studio 2015 community edition, it works just fine.
I now try to install the newest version of resharper, but it says I don't have VS2015.
I tried to repair visual studio but resharper still does not detect it.
How can I install resharper for VS2015?
BTW I'm using windows 7.
Thanks!

Yay, I solved it!
The problem was that for some reason I didn't have permissions for the registry key VisualStudio.DTE.14.0. This is the key that tells resharper whether VS2015 is installed or not.
To get my permissions back I did what this link says:
I downloaded sysinternals and used psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe to gain full access.
Then I added permissions to myself (right click on that registry key, then permissions and so on).
And after that the resharper could tell I have VS2015 installed!
Another helpful tip given by JetBrains (thanks #iamkrillin for telling me to ask them directly) is to check %localappdata%\JetBrains\Shared\v03 for the installation logs.
I'm really glad it worked =)

Unity Could not find any supported Visual Studio installations

Problem picture
Environment:
Windows10 Professional Visual Studio 2017 Unity 2017.4.12f1
I changed the default installation path of Visual Studio 2017 and installed it successfully.
The install path as follows:
D:\win10\Program\visual_studio\2017
However, in the Build setting of Unity, it still can't find my Visual Studio 2017.
How can I solve the problem? Thanks~
Go to Edit > Preferences, and select your Visual Studio to be the preferred external editor. Use Browse if Visual Studio is not listed. More info here.
You need to install windows 10 SDK

Here's a third answer. I just bumped in to this, and checked that yes VS was the preferred editor, so I went to open up VS to try uninstalling and reinstalling the GameDevWithUnity workflow, but VS popped up a dialog saying I needed to reboot my computer before installation could complete. So it seems like VS was stuck in the middle of an upgrade, which makes it reasonable that Unity couldn't find an appropriate version. I rebooted and everyone is happy.

How do I uninstall Visual Studio 2013?

I installed a VS 2013 trial on my Windows 10 PC. Now the trial period has expired and I want to remove it. However I can not find it listed under Control Panel->Programs->Programs and Features!?
Search C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\ for vs_*.exe and you should see one or more bootstrap installers named for the version, E.g. vs_enterprise.exe, vs_community.exe
Run the executable with the /uninstall command line.
Alternatively run the original installer again in the hopes that it offers an uninstall option, if not reinstall it in the hopes it fixes the missing link.
You could use the Visual Studio Uninstaller. Its a tool developed by Microsoft and should get rid of the Visual Studio Instance.

How can I fix PreEmptive Dotfuscator (VS2013)?

I have Visual Studio 2013 which included "PreEmptive Dotfuscator and Analytics".
It's always worked fine for me until recently.
Suddenly it will not open from Visual Studio, icon or commandline.
Even when I manually open it, it does not show up in the task manager.
It simply does nothing.
There's nothing in the Event Viewer logs.
Visual Studio shows no error.
Basically, I can't even begin to find the problem.
I tried to find a download to attempt to reinstall it but all I've seen on the website for this version is that it's included in VS2013.
There's other sites in search results which claim to have the installer but none I trust.
Has anyone had this issue in the past?
It's Visual Studio 2013 Professional on Windows 8.1.
I'm not sure how to address this so I would greatly appreciate any possible input.
Thanks in advance!
You can try uninstalling, wiping the settings, and reinstalling. Dotfuscator Community Edition is uninstallable via the Windows control panel. Once uninstalled, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\PreEmptive Solutions. You may be able to reinstall it as a component via the Visual Studio installer. If not, it is actually a standalone installer, so if you have a Visual Studio disc or .iso, it will be in \packages\Dotfuscator.

Can't uninstall Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web

I have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on my laptop but I want to install the full version of Visual Studio Express 2013 (for both Web and Windows Desktop).
Link to Visual Studio Express (full)
When I run the uninstaller from my Control Panel, nothing happens. It stays on this for hours. I've tried to run the setup.exe (downloaded from Microsoft) again and choose the "Uninstall" function but I couldn't because the same thing happened. I have also tried to run the setup for the full version of Visual Studio but without success. What should I do?
Do you uninstall with admin rights?
Is there a popup window in the background asking for user and password?
There was a problem with my Windows 8.1 and I reinstalled it. Now Visual Studio works perfectly!
I had this and a co-worker recommended that I simply try a second time. It sounded pointless without any changes, but it actually worked the second time. I cannot explain why. Just try it twice.

Resharper 8.0 in Visual Studio 2013

I've been using Resharper (v8.0.14.856) with VS2012 for some time now, but I've recently installed VS2013. However, Resharper does not appear in the menus for VS2013, or in the options (under Tools->Options).
I've re-run the installer, and selected VS2013. As far as the
installer is concerned, it is installed for VS 2013.
I've tried repairing the install.
I've tried deleting the
%AppData%Roaming\JetBrains folder (as suggested elsewhere).
I've read this:
http://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/entries/21204867-ReSharper-is-not-available-in-Visual-Studio-after-installation and I've tried running Visual Studio with /resetskippkgs command line
key.
I am an administrator, so I've run the installer as administrator, and I run VS2013 as administrator.
I've tried running in Compatibility mode for Windows 7
I've also tried contacting JetBrains, but have yet to receive a reply
Note. I don't have an "\Common7\IDE\Extensions" folder, but I don't have one for my VS2012 install either, and Resharper works just fine there.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
You need 8.1 to work with VS2013.

I had the same issue. I Googled around and found a blog post explaining how to add a previously installed Resharper to various newly installed versions of Visual Studio on your machine via the Windows Control Panel.
The article outlines these steps...
Go to 'Control Panel' and select 'Programs and Features'.
Select 'JetBrains ReSharper' and click on 'Change'.
The ReSharper Setup main dialog will appear, here click on 'Change'.
The ReSharper Setup integration options dialog will appear, check the Visual Studio version that that you wish to enable ReSharper in. Click 'Install'.
Here is the original blog post...
