I'm using the SSIS Designer in Visual Studio 2010 and I recently downloaded a third-party suite of tools. Their post-install steps say to navigate to Tools > Choose Toolbox Items > SSIS Control Flow Items and add their items to my SSIS Toolbox but my installation of Visual Studio is missing the SSIS Control Flow Items and SSIS Data Flow Items tabs. The third-party says these tabs should be there and that this is a Microsoft issue. Does anyone know how to make these tabs appear? Is something misconfigured?

After uninstalling both Microsoft Reporting Services Projects and Microsoft RDLC Report Designer extensions for a reason, a message box stopped me from enabling the first extension but the RDLC extension is enabled.

So the message now is clear but what is the way to reach Microsoft BI Shared Components for Visual Studio and enable it.
I can't find it.
You need to run Visual Studio Installer
Choose the version of VS you want to to add the component to and click Modify.
Then click the "individual components" tab and search for "bi shared"
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:

Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make

impacted.

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.
I installed Visual Studio 2019 Community and then installed data tools. I can open an Integration Services project but when I look at the SSIS Tooolbox, it's empty.
How do I fix this?
I am using visual studio 2017, To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface in the project and select SSIS Toolbox please see this link. This resolved it for me.
Adding the content below again, in case the webpage is not available in future.
I have installed the Data-Tier Application Framework and SQL Server
Data Tools for VS 2017 . I created a solution then returned to it a
week later and the SSIS toolbox had disappeared.
I opened the toolbox window using View -> Toolbox but it was empty.
To get the SSIS toolbox back, right-click on the SSIS design surface
in the project and select SSIS Toolbox – hey presto! it reappears.
This is a problem after Visual Studio does an update for Optimization.
I have confirmed that the fix is:
Open menu item:
- Tools
- Options
- Environment - On the General Tab - DISABLE/uncheck - "Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities"
This solved my problem.

I think you should download and install the Integration Services Projects extension:
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Since in Visual Studio 2019, for Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, you have to install the appropriate extension(s) from the marketplace.
You can refer to the following official documentation for additional information:
Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio
I had a project from 2017 and the toolbar would not open when I opened the project. I had to create a new empty project. Then go back and open the 2017 project. Then the toolbar appeared.
For me, enabling SSIS toolbox did the trick initially it did not show up in VS 2019 community

My two cents worth, I had the same issue-
In the toolbox window, right-click and select SHOW ALL.
Then right-click again, and turn off the SHOW ALL. Voilah...!
I have written an outlook add-in VSTO in Visual Studio Pro 2017 (VB.NET). I have published it which creates a setup.exe which is OK but I would like to create a proper installer that copies the files locally and can be run silently etc.
How do I go about doing this? When I go to create new project there is no installer project option.
You need to install this extension to Visual Studio 2017/2019 in order to get access to the Installer Projects.
According to the page:
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.
Once you have finished installing the extension and restarted Visual Studio, you will be able to open existing Visual Studio Installer projects, or create new ones.
Other answers posted here for this question did not work for me using the latest Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition (as of 2018-09-18).
Instead, I used this method:
Close all but one instance of Visual Studio.
In the running instance, access the menu Tools->Extensions and Updates.
In that dialog, choose Online->Visual Studio Marketplace->Tools->Setup & Deployment.
From the list that appears, select Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Installer Projects.
Once installed, close and restart Visual Studio. Go to File->New Project and search for the word Installer. You'll know you have the correct templates installed if you see a list that looks something like this:
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.
