SSDT(SQL Server Data Tools) Missing from Visual Studio 2015 - visual-studio

I've installed Visual Studio 2015, but the ssdt features are missing as you can see below
I checked the ssdt option at the setup, and the only thing i did was change the default installation directory from c:/ to d:/ (don't know if it changes anything). When i use the Typical installation, ssdt installs fine, but it installs VS at c:/, and i need it installed at "D:/" ...
Here is a screenshot of my VS Setup
How can i have SSDT features back?
EDIT: To solve my problem i did the fist part of the third step at this link, which was:
Download the appropriate version of SSDTSetup.exe for your chosen language from the table below (use the “save” option in your browser, rather than “run”):

You can try installing SSDT for Visual Studio 2015 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/mt186501
Note that it mentions that it supports Visual Studio 2015 Express and I notice you have the Community edition, so hopefully Community edition is supported as well.

Link provided allows downloading
SSDT_14.0.50730.0
It did not help me.
This link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/he-il/mt429383
You can download SSDT_14.0.51215.0
SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio Preview 2015
That solved the problem.

Here is a download location :

Could you try repairing SSDT from the Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features
Right clicking Microsoft Sql Server Data Tools
Click repair

Visual Studio 2010 missing option for new project?

I opened our Visual Studio 2010 Professional and noticed that I do not have an option New>.. the only options I have are:
New Team Project (not what I want to use, I simply want a new project)
Connect to Team Project
New File (looked and didn't see an option for New Project)
Open File..
I also tried resetting all settings to default by using Tools> Import and Export Settings> Reset all Settings.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated, thank you!
Alright so this did it for me:
I had to add SQL Server Data Tools to my SQL Server 2012 installation (done by adding/removing features)
Downloaded Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010
Downloaded SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
(I know it says 2012 but according to this article it says that you need to download either VS 2012 or VS 2013 since they no longer support the SSDT for 2010.
I found this very helpful when researching the entire problem, it highlights scenarios that work and that don't work as well as what to do to remedy the situation.
I really hope that this helps anyone in the future with the same problem I had. Let me know :)

Install Shield Limited Edition in visual Studio 2013 Express

First of all I'm new to visual studio. I need to develop a Setup (.exe) using Visual Studio C#. In order to create a setup, we need Windows Installer wizard. While searching on google I got a link from msdn Here
I tried to create a new project as described, but I wasn't able to find "Other Project Types". I searched google again and finally I got: InstallShield Limited Edition template provided by flexerasoftware.com. I registered and downloaded InstallShield 2013 Express Edition, and installed it. Restarted the machine and opened Visual Studio 2013, still I couldn't find other project type templates.
Everyone simply says choose setupwizard under "other project types", but no one provides any description on templates setup.
What am I missing here, and why this much complexity to create setup file wizard. Guide me If I am missing anything, I'm in a serious trouble.
Note : Currently am using Visual Studio 2013 Express edition.
Thanks.
This link explain where to find it:

From the link below:
>
To enable InstallShield Limited Edition On the menu bar, choose File,
New, Project.
In the New Project dialog box, expand the Other Project
Types node, and then choose the Setup and Deployment node.
In the template list, choose Enable InstallShield Limited Edition, and then
choose the OK button.
In the browser window that opens, read the
instructions, and then choose the Go to the download web site link.

How do I upgrade SQL Report projects (rptproj) to Visual Studio 2012?

Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.

Other project types is empty in visual studio 2008

In my system when I click on Add->new project->And go to Other project types I cant see any project types. I actually wanted to convert my c# project to executable.
Is any component missing during installation? I am using Visual studio 2008 professional edition
Please help me..
I had the same issue until I looked into what software I was ACTUALLY using - check to see if you're really using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - I thought I was until I realized I was using Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) which is different.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) is part of the SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, so the project types available to it are different than MSVS 2008... Microsoft developed the Shell to have the same look and feel of Visual Studio so users were comfortable and familiar with the layout.
Go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>
Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.
So that you can have templates you need.
You can reopen your VisualStudio ISO and try to repair or you can install VisualStudio Express to make sure you can install all templates.
My guess is you didn't make a full installation and forgot to install some components.

Upgrading Visual Studio 2010 Professional to Premium, just install over?

I just discovered that our MSDN licensing covers Premium, and I installed Professional.
Can I just install Premium over Professional, or do I have to uninstall and reinstall everything? I'd rather not if installing on top of Professional is safe since I have addins and configuration already set up.
I came across the some issue and needed to upgrade from Visual Studio 2010 Professional to Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
I simply installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium over the Visual Studio 2010 Professional version. All worked without issue ;0)
I did need to reinstall my VS add-ins and service packs (such as Silverlight 4 Tools) and point to my original settings file but that was all. Looks like most or all of my extensions remained in place.
Just did this, but used the web installer instead of the full iso. Works like a charm. Didn't have to reinstall anything. Resharper, Silverlight and Azure templates, etc.. are working.
The only difference is that you need to insert the product key to activate it, like it says on the MSDN downloads site: "This key converts web installers and trial DVDs to the full product. It is not required for the MSDN DVD."
Hope this helps
