Web Developer Tools option must be installed - visual-studio

I have been working with Visual Studio Ultimate 2013. Today when I tried to open a solution, it tried to convert the solution and showed me error like
"The Web Developer Tools option must be installed prior to opening or creating Web projects. You can install this option by repairing your Microsoft Visual Studio installation and ensuring that 'Web Developer Tools' is checked in the list of optional components."
I goggled about this and tried to Modify the Visual Studio 2013 ultimate by enabling the Web Developer Tool. But here I am getting the other error like
Unable to Locate Package Source.
What should I do now?

Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Select your Visual Studio Version and hit "Change"
Click MODIFY and enable Web Developer Tools
Enable Web Developer Tools
Click Update

Perhaps the installer file for Visual Studio was deleted and is no longer available to modify installations. If you can't locate it, you could just re-install Visual Studio, but that takes awhile.

visual studio 2019 open solution file incompatible

I think I was using visual studio 2017 and wrote a SSIS package. Now I installed visual studio 2019 and can't open the solution file. Error:
Unsupported This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the
following projects. The project types may not be installed or this
version of Visual Studio may not support them. For more information
on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets,
please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after
clicking OK.
- ABC, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC.dtproj"
Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make
non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable
them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio
2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be
impacted.
- ABC_SSIS, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC_SSIS.sln"
I tried "Right-click on the project and reload" - didn't work.
I tried to confirm SSDT is installed:
it is installed at the installation interface, but doesn't exist in extension manager:
SSIS is a seperate extension now in Visual Studio 2019. You can install that extension in Visual Studio market place. Choose Online tab and search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects".Hope it can help your problem
1.Extensions -> Microsoft Reporting Service Project
2.and then close visual studio
3.VSIX installer will complete automatically
4.If your project unloaded, right click on project and reload
Today I faced this issue,
Cause
The reason for issue is,
I saw a yellow bg notification at the top of IDE showing performance issue , with option to "disable this" to improve the performance.
I chose disable, later next day when I opened the project, It showed the project is not compatible.
I did Repair SSIS, Uninstall and Reinstall SSIS, and also updated the SSIS to latest version. None of these 3 ways resolved the issue.
Solution
But, I found Manage Extension submenu item under Extension menu, Under installed tab, SSIS extension was in disabled status. I reverted to Enabled status. Sample screenshot of the same for reference is here. If it disabled, simply enable it. Then restart VS with SSIS project.
Enabling the SSIS in manage extensions solved this for me.
Extensions ... Manage Extensions
Online ... Visual Studio Marketplace
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Download
Close Visual Studio and then run the download
When finished, open your existing SSIS project and right-click the project and select "Reload" or "Reload with dependancies"
You can also now start a new Integration Services project.

VS2015: Xamarin license file is invalid

I'm using Xamarin with Visual Studio 2015. After a recent upgrade of the Xamarin plugin, I'm getting an error the first time I try to "Clean Solution" or "Build Solution" after launching Visual Studio:
The Xamarin license file is invalid and could not be recovered. You will still be able to access the Xamarin features that are included in Visual Studio Professional.
The error dialog offers a single option: "Use Visual Studio Professional". If I choose that option, I can re-try whatever operation I was using and it will work fine, and continue to work fine until I exit and re-launch Visual Studio.
I have found some older threads where people mention what seem like similar problems, but the solutions refer to using Tools->Xamarin Account, which does not appear anywhere in my Visual Studio "Tools" menu.
Specific versions in play:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
Xamarin 4.8.0.754
Xamarin.Android 8.1.0.13
I have this same problem with a couple of different, unconnected solutions (one of which is using Xamarin.Android, another of which uses Xamarin.Forms).

The following references must be present before installation can continue "Web Developer Tools"

I recently reinstalled Visual Studio 2015, and I made sure I picked Web Developer Tools when I installed it. However, when I go to install Web Essentials through the Extensions and Updates popup, I get this message:
When I go to modify my installation of Visual Studio 2015, I can see that Web Developer Tools has been installed (or at least marked for installation):
I am now unable to install Web Essentials, because I get this message. What can I do?

VS 2013 Web Developer Tools error

I am using VS 2012. It is working fine. Then I installed 2013 also. VS2013 Installation was successfully completed. After completed of installation i tried to create new website But I am getting below error.
"The Web Developer Tools option must be installed prior to opening or creating Web projects. You can install this option by repairing your Microsoft Visual Studio installation and ensuring that 'Web Developer Tools' is checked in the list of optional components"
Please give me the suggestions, without disturbing the VS2012 how can I solve the above problem.

How do I install the Visual Web Developer feature for Visual Studio 2010

I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium installed, and I want to install the Silverlight 4 SDK.
The SDK says that it requires the Visual Web Developer feature for Visual Studio 2010. Any idea as to how to install, or activate this feature?
Run the Visual Studio installer and double check the installed components. Make sure Web Developer is enabled (Web Developer should be part of the standard installation for VS 2010 Premium) and then hit OK.
Once the installation has completed try installing the Silverlight SDK again.
Rerun visual studio setup
Select modify
Choose option "Microsoft web Developer Tools"
With Windows Azure, this is not as straightforward, because there is no separate VS installer. After launching VS2010SP1AzurePack.2E2.2E1.exe, you will eventually get this message. Once you do, click OK. Then on the next screen, where it has all the software products listed and the "I Accept" button is grayed out, scroll down to the "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (Dependency)" line, and click on the "Direct Download" link underneath it. Run the "vwd_web.exe" file that it downloaded, and it will install Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Once that completes, click on the "I Decline" button back on the list of products. That returns you to the first screen. Now click the "Install" button - the message will not appear, and the "I Accept" button on the next screen will now be enabled.
In my case, I had already chosen the Web Dev feature, and performed the following
New Project
Cloud Project
Get Azure SDK
Click the Download Azure button
WebPI kicked off
Closed VS
Clicked Accept
Azure SDK (2.9.1) installed.
