Windows Installer project is unsupported in Visual Studio 11 BETA - windows-services

It says that my windows installer project is unsupported. "ProjectType" = "8:{978C614F-708E-4E1A-B201-565925725DBA}" is in vdproj file. Can i work with it in VS11 beta?

You can still use Windows Service project. It is installer that is not supported by VS11. Accoring to Visual Studio team, old VS Install and Deploy projects (*.vdproj) will not be supported in any future releases starting with VS11. Migrate to WIX.

I encountered the same issue with trying to open a installer package sent to me via another developer, apparently I needed to install the appropriate version of (in Visual Studio):
Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects
To open this type of project. Once I did that I was able to open this project type.

VS2019 without Windows 8.1 SDK

I'm trying to run an already functional application that requires the Windows 8.1 SDK.
I installed Visual Studio 2019, but there is no option in the 8.1 SDK.
This is for a Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019 last update.
On my old computer, there was the option to select in "Individual Components", but now no longer the encounter. Does anyone know if there is no such support on VS2019? Or is it necessary to install something more for the support to appear?
This is expected as it is marked as deprecated in Visual Studio 2019:
The Windows 8.1 SDK is no longer available in the Visual Studio
installer. Please upgrade your C++ projects to the latest Windows 10
SDK. If you have a hard dependency on 8.1, you can download it from
the Windows SDK archive.
So download and install the SDK from here.

how to repair Xamarin studio

I have already install Xamarin Studio 6.0
Now I Want to install Xamarin.android for android apps development (because checkbox is disabled).
How I can modify this component.
As far as I know, Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac now completely replaced Xamarin Studio. Last version of Xamarin Studio I had installed was marked as damaged or corrupted on my Mac so I just moved it into Trash and installed Visual Studio for Mac. After that I was able to install new versions of Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS et cetera.

"Add Docker support" menu choice is missing from Visual Studio Mac IDE

I'm using Visual Studio Mac to build a .NET Core MVC web application that I want to run in a Docker container.
The solution compile and run correctly, but when I try to add the Docker support,
from the solutions menu, the choice "Add Docker support" is missing!
The Visual studio is the Community Edition 7.1 (build 1297)
The docker for mac is the 17.06.1-ce-mac24
The .Net Core is 2.0
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
Ivan
Docker support was removed in Visual Studio for Mac 7.1.0.1297.
Docker support was available in early Visual Studio Mac 7.1 preview versions but was not stable at the time VS Mac 7.1 was released so it was removed.
Visual Studio for Mac 7.2, currently available on the alpha channel, does include Docker support.
I don't find the add docker support worth it to be honest, as long as you have Dockerfile in the root of the project. And your compose files up a level with the solution. You can achieve pretty much the same thing.
It'd just be a pain to debug/attach straight into it. I've never found a reason to yet, but that's just me.

Unable to install Windows 10 Sdk Tools

I have Windows 10 build 10532 with Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. Since VS 2015 RTM does not come with Windows 10 tools, I wanted to download and install it. When I run the intallation file Visual Studio block set up and gives an error
Invalid entries passed to /Filterfeatureselectiontree swich.
What should I do?
The Windows SDK receives updates separately from Visual Studio releases, so you may have to reinstall/update the Windows SDK.
You can trigger the latest install from within Visual Studio.
First, make sure you have the latest Visual Studio 2015 from http://aka.ms/vs2015ce
From the File menu, click File|New|Project
In the "New Project" dialog box, choose the Universal item on the left panel under Templates/Visual C#/Windows/Universal
On the right panel, note that you will either have some Win10 templates or a single item that suggests that you need to download the Win10 SDK. (You may see both templates and the download suggestion if have an older version of the SDK and there is a newer version available)
Click on the item to download the new Win10 SDK and click OK.
This should kick off the download/install process and you may be prompted to close Visual Studio as soon the installer is running.
When it's all done, go back to File|New|Project and try to create a blank app project.
Hope that helps! :)

can anyone help me out with this problem? I am using RTM version of VS
This usually happens because your target .NET framework version (at the top of the New Project Dialog) is set to something other than .NET Framework 4.5.
