I have to create an add-in for visual studio 2015. I read at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/80493a3w.aspx that "add-in" templates are deprecated from 2013 and "visual studio packages" should be created instead so I tried searching for Visual studio package templates but cannot find them.
I tried the solutions given here Where can I find the "Visual Studio Package" Template for Visual Studio project?
But still can't find it. I have the "VSix" template add additional extensibility such as a "VSPackage" but there is no template for a VSPackage.
You needed to install the VS 2015 SDK

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.
Is there a way to tell Visual Studio that it needs to install some packages (like NetMQ) via Nuget automatically just before the first run of the project?
Visual Studio should do that by default if you're using Visual Studio 2015 and if your package is in your packages.config.
Highlighted options are available in Visual studio 2013 and 2012 as well.
I had been using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll found in
"{programfiles}\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0"
with visual studio 2010?
Been working on updating the build templates to TFS 2013 and found that the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll is missing in the
"{programfiles}\Microsoft Visual Studio
12.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0"
folder.
Where can I find the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll for TFS 2013?
Found the answer at this location:
"My observation is, using TFS and VS version 2013 onwards, we no longer need to reference to this assembly where as referencing to assembly Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common.dll is enough. This assembly contains Microsoft.TeamFoundation namespace and all sub-namespaces along with classes that represent general information about Visual Studio Team Foundation Server."

In my Visual Studio 2013, Extensibility Project Template is not found under "Visual C#" and "Other Project Types". Could you please guide me to enable this project type with Visual Studio?
You need to install Visual Studio 2013 SDK. Additional project templates will appear in Visual C# - Extensibility and Other Project Types - Extensibility.
Me and my team were using Visual Studio 2010 as C#/.NET IDE, but we decided to upgrade it to 2012, and thats what we did.
We have a bunch of Project Templates previously created, on Visual Studio 2010.
How can we create/convert those for the 2012 version of the IDE ?
I've tried this link from msdn but got no luck because my Visual Studio does not shows the VSIX Project option in this step :
On the File menu, click New and then click Project. Select either Visual Basic or Visual C#, select Extensibility, and then select VSIX Project.
Any tip / How to ?
Thanks in advance
