How to develop VSPackages in Visual Studio 2015 RC?
NOTE
I already have Visual Studio 2015 RC SDK installed.

In VS 2015, you start with a VSIX project, and then add Items, like for example a VSPackage - see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/05/29/extending-visual-studio-2015.aspx

Visual Studio 2015 vdproj file into Visual Studio 2022

I'm migrating a Visual Studio 2015 solution to Visual Studio 2022. The solution includes a "Setup and Deployment" vdproj project and Studio 2022 says it is incompatible. Is there an Add-in that I need? How can I bring in the existing (2015) installation project?
You can download an official Microsoft extension that provides support for Visual Studio Installer Projects in Visual Studio 2022.

Is there a Visual Studio Installer Project type for Visual Studio 2019?

I am trying to build a VS 2017 solution which includes a Visual Studio Installer Project with the just released Visual Studio Pro 2019. Of course, when I tried to open the solution I got an error because there was not Visual Studio Installer project type in VS 2019. And, I cant find a place to load it from.
How do I add a Visual Studio Installer Project type in the released version of VS 2019?
Install the addin in Visual Studio 2019:
This extension provides the same functionality that currently exists
in Visual Studio 2015 for Visual Studio Installer projects. To use
this extension, you can either open the Extensions and Updates dialog,
select the online node, and search for "Visual Studio Installer
Projects Extension," or you can download directly from this page.
This extension is designed to work with Visual Studio 2017 and
Visual Studio 2019.

How can I enable template 10 in Visual Studio community 2017 RC?

If I download from https://github.com/Windows-XAML/Template10/wiki
and open the template 10 solution in Visual Studio Community 2017 RC, it does not work.
Is it complicated to make it work easily or shall I download vs 2015?
Thanks.
Currently there is no Template 10 extension for Visual Studio 2017, only Visual Studio 2015. As a short-term work around until the Visual Studio 2017 extension is released, you can create your project in Visual Studio 2015 using the Template 10 extension and then open it in Visual Studio 2017 to develop it. There will likely be no Template 10 extension for Visual Studio 2017 until it is RTM. As of this moment, Visual Studio 2017 is Release Candidate version 5 and it is wonderful. I can assure you, since I am the author of Template 10, that Visual Studio 2017 will be fully supported # RTM. https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-2017-rc/

VS2015 should be just fine... VS2017RC will not work....
