I have two computer. Computer A and Computer B.
Computer A has Visual Studio 2013 Premium and Visual SourceSafe 2005.
and I can see the plug in in the selection
like this
Computer B has visual studio 2015 Express and Visual SourceSafe 2005. And this is all I see
Can you please help me how to add this plug in? Thank you
I install Visual Studio Community 2015 (make sure you use vs_community.exe) and SourceSafe option will be available.
I was using vs_Desktop.exe previously.
Make sure to select and download the community edition instead of the visual studio express for desktop
There is patch for Visual SourceSafe that once installed lets you see the SourceSafe plugin in the Visual Studio Tools|Source Control plugin list here it is

Hellow all, I am using Visual Studio 2017 professional edition. I am unable to open Lightswith (.lsxtproj) projects from it. When I searched in blogs, I received a suggestion of installing the Office Developer Toos for Visual Studio using Visual Studio installation window--> Individual Components --> Development activities section but couldn't help.
Can someone tell me what else I sould install/add in order to open Lightswitch projects using Visual Studio 2017 professional edition.
I have a Visual Studio 2008 *.sln file. However, I can't open it using Visual Studio 2008 Express. It is unable to load the projects. I suspect it might be limited functionalities in the Express edition.
I also have an existing copy of Visual Studio 2015. Do I need to "downgrade" my Visual Studio 2015 to 2008 in order to open the *.sln file?
Edit 1:
Edit 2:
You dont need to downgrade as all version of Visual Studio can exist side by side.
You can easily install the full Visual Studio 2008 on the same machine as Visual Studio 2015. If you have an MSDN licence then you can just download 2008 and install..
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.
Hi guys im using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but in my college, all of the computers using microsoft visual Studio 2012. Is there is possible if i save my project (from visual studio 2013) then i open it on visual studio 2012?
Visual Studio 2013 has a feature called "Solution Round Tripping", which means that a solution created in Visual Studio 2012, under certain circumstances, can be edited by both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
There are limitations though, as you can't open a solution in 2012 that uses new features or frameworks that are not available in 2012. Makes sense right? Generally, when you create the solution in 2012 and then open it in 2013, your chances are high.
I want to install Visual Studio 2005 on my machine which already has Visual Studio 2010?
Please help me out.

It can easily be done -- My other laptop has VS 2005, 2008, and 2010 all on the same drive. The two versions shouldn't interfere with each other. Visual Studio even has a "version selector" that gets registered as the handler for project and solution files, and IIRC it should launch the correct version of VS for whatever project you're in at the time. But even if it doesn't, you can always right-click and "Open with...".
