In Visual Studio 2010, I installed the TFS Power Tools, which also included the WIT Designer. Once I open my User Story work item editor and click on the "Workflow" tab, I should be able to see the "WITDesigner" toolbox items in the Toolbox, but it is missing. I tried the "Reset Toolbox" option, but it that didn't work either. I did verify that the "WITDesigner" was installed in the Extension Manager. Any ideas of how I can get the items to show up? Much appreciated.
Finally figured it out. I had to uninstall all TFS related extensions and reaplly SP1. Then I could reinstall the TFS Power Tools and the WIT designer now shows up.

I'm a new to SSIS development and I'm using a 64-bit computer on Windows 7. I wanted to change a script task, but when clicking on the 'Edit Script' button nothing happens.
Here is the ScriptLanguage searched:
I tried a new installation VS2012 and SSDT_BI2012, as suggested on different forums, but that doesn't fixed my issue.
If anyone had the same issue can you guide me to the resolution?
If you need additional information please let me know.
Thank you
I had the same problem. Here is what I did to fix this issue:
Go to the control panel and locate the instance of Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA).
In your case you should look for something like "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012"
Right click on the VSTA component and select "Change"
In the next popup click "Repair"
In my case the problem was with Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2017:
Once I repaired this VSTA installation everything worked correctly.
I had the same problem. I tried to repair the Visual Studio with the installation, but it didn't work.
After, the solution that worked for me:
Install the SSDT in a new instance of Visual studio.
I recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio community verion 2015 on my computer for educational purposes. However while installation I conservatively chose not to install the source files for C/C++. Is there any way to rectify this? There doesn't seem to be any update menu in Visual Studio where I can do this.
You can have Visual Studio check for any updates itself by going to Tools > Extensions & Updates > Updates > Product Updates.
You can install any of the custom components (Visual C++, Visual F#, others) later if you don’t select them during the initial setup, there have some methods to modify VS to select the custom components to update and you can have a look at the following:
Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features, right click the Visual Studio Community 2015 with updates and Change, it popups the VS installer windows and click Modify button, then you can find the option ‘Visual C++’ under Programming Languages and check it, click ‘Next’ button to install it like the following screenshot.
If you still store the installer file of the Visual Studio Community 2015 with update 3 on your computer, right click it and run it as administrator, click Modify button and you can find the same installer windows as the above, check the option ‘Visual C++’ to install it.
Most of my Visual Studio Extensions can't be deactivated or activated any more. I've searched for a solution and tried 'Clear MEF Component Cache' but that didn't work.
Another suggestion was to uninstall the extension, restart VS, uninstall the extension again (somehow the extensions are supposed to still there) and restart VS again. The problem here is, that some of the deactivated extensions cant even be uninstalled, so even if that works for some, it won't work for all of them.
I tried to repair DevExpress with the installer but its still the same. It's not too bad with DevExpress though, because DevExpress seems to at least be activated and still works. But somehow ReSharper deactivated itself and now I can't use it any more. I can't uninstall it via the 'Extensions and Updates'-window either. And if I hover the cursor over the 'Activate'-button, it says 'This product can not be DEactivated', which is odd, because it IS deactivated.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?
I am using Visual Studio Professional 2015 Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3.
The items are greyed out because they are installed per-machine, rather than per-user. Which basically means they were installed by an installer, rather than through Visual Studio's extensions dialog. ReSharper is one such application - it installs via an installer, rather than using Visual Studio's VSIX mechanism. You can't uninstall it from the extensions dialog, but have to go through the Add/Remove Programs dialog in the computer's control panel.
As for ReSharper being deactivated - check in Tools → Options → ReSharper to see if ReSharper has been suspended. In which case, just active it again. If not, go to Add/Remove Programs and either repair the install, or uninstall/reinstall.
I've been using Resharper (v8.0.14.856) with VS2012 for some time now, but I've recently installed VS2013. However, Resharper does not appear in the menus for VS2013, or in the options (under Tools->Options).
I've re-run the installer, and selected VS2013. As far as the
installer is concerned, it is installed for VS 2013.
I've tried repairing the install.
I've tried deleting the
%AppData%Roaming\JetBrains folder (as suggested elsewhere).
I've read this:
http://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/entries/21204867-ReSharper-is-not-available-in-Visual-Studio-after-installation and I've tried running Visual Studio with /resetskippkgs command line
key.
I am an administrator, so I've run the installer as administrator, and I run VS2013 as administrator.
I've tried running in Compatibility mode for Windows 7
I've also tried contacting JetBrains, but have yet to receive a reply
Note. I don't have an "\Common7\IDE\Extensions" folder, but I don't have one for my VS2012 install either, and Resharper works just fine there.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
You need 8.1 to work with VS2013.

I had the same issue. I Googled around and found a blog post explaining how to add a previously installed Resharper to various newly installed versions of Visual Studio on your machine via the Windows Control Panel.
The article outlines these steps...
Go to 'Control Panel' and select 'Programs and Features'.
Select 'JetBrains ReSharper' and click on 'Change'.
The ReSharper Setup main dialog will appear, here click on 'Change'.
The ReSharper Setup integration options dialog will appear, check the Visual Studio version that that you wish to enable ReSharper in. Click 'Install'.
Here is the original blog post...

I think I have a plugin or addin to studio installed which has killed all versions of studio.
Where can I see the list of plugins and addins that studio is loading? I believe I have gone through all of the menu to find the list of addins.
Would someone point me in the direction that shows me the list of addins? I will remove them all one by one until I find the one that is "killing my productivity" for the day. :)
They appear in three difference places, but any given addin/package doesn't necessarily appear in in all those places:
The splash screen
Tools / Add-in manager
Help / About (in the "Installed products" list)
In Visual Studio 2013, go to the "Tools" menu and open "Extensions and Updates".
In "Installed"->"All" section you can see it all.
Try looking at your packages installed for Visual Studio. They are registered in the registry under:
Visual Studio 2008
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0Exp\Packages
Visual Studio 2005
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0Exp
Packages are the complete installs of all addins, automations, and alike.
If you have a lot, I say kill them all. And then reinstall your specific addons (such as CodeSmith or VisualSVN). You may need to clean up the addons that were manually added. But, I think that once you remove the "Package", it disables those addons and automation tools automatically.
For reference, this is my fresh new install of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on Windows 7 RTM. Only 1 plugin, and it's for SQL Server's SSIS:

Go to the Tools menu and open Add-in manager. Or you can go to the visual studio folder inside of My Documents and look in the addins folder.
