In previous versions of Visual Studio (2013 and below from what I can tell on this document:)
In the Application Files page, choose the Add Project Outputs button.
The Visual Studio Output Selector dialog box appears.
Under the SetExcelDocumentProperties node, select the Primary Output check box, and then choose the OK button.
In Visual Studio 2015 / Install Shield Limited Edition the Visual Studio Output Selector only shows this dialog box:
I dont have any lower versions of VS to verify but if they have dropped this, what is the equivalent now.
I am trying to setup a VSTO installer for a 64 Bit Excel Add In.

I am using visual studio 2015 IDE for development & developing windowsforms and using C# language but Crystal Report Viewer missing from ToolBox in Visual Studio 2015.
I googled it and found solution-->
Open Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, and select the entry for your version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. In our case, it was Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
Click the "Change" button on the top bar above the program list.
After the splash screen, a window will open. Press the "Modify" button.
Select Windows and Web Development > Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, and check the box next to it.
Press the "Update" button on the lower-right hand side of the window.
Once the installation is complete, open your version of Visual Studio. After the new .dll files are loaded, Reporting functionality should be reimplemented, and you should be able to access all related forms, controls, and objects.
It solved the problem to some extent but still missing CrystalReportViewer & CrytalReportDocument from ToolBox in Visual Studio.
The image is given below after updating the Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
I would like to set Visual Studio for Mac 2017 to automatically open .axml files in the source editor mode without loading the Android designer.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
On top of that I would also like this to happen when I use the Go To File binding I have setup. Currently every time I open an .axml file through Go To File it takes about 10-50 seconds to load up (no exaggeration). If it takes longer than that it never opens and the entire IDE stops working.
I am currently right-clicking on the files and selecting open with -> Source Code Editor.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Since Visual Studio for Mac does not currently support configuring the editor used to open a file I created an Open With addin that provides this feature.
It provides an Open With dialog that allows you to change the default editor or application used to open a file in a similar way to how this is done in Visual Studio on Windows.
After installing the Open With addin into Visual Studio for Mac 7.0 or above, you can right click a file in the Solution window, and select Open With - Preferences to display an Open With dialog. This dialog is based on Visual Studio's dialog. You can change the default application or editor used here or add a custom application.
So you should be able to configure Visual Studio to open .axml files into the text editor or Android Studio.

I have just installed VS 2013 SDK to my computer which runs Windows 7 beside VisualStudio 2013 ultimate.
So I have all Extensibility project templates listed on "Add Project" dialogue box. But there is no Extensibility node hence corresponding Item Template on "Add Item" dialogue box.
I have reinstalled SDK as well as installing Update 5 on Visual Studio but it didn't work.
By the way my project's target framework is 4.5
Do you have any idea what the catch is ?
Visual studio appears to use the <ProjectTypeGuids> list in the *proj file to determine what to show in the add item dialog.
I had the same problem in VS 2017 with a project that was updated from 2013 to 2015 and now to 2017. In the first property group element, see if your project type guids matches this...
<ProjectTypeGuids>{82b43b9b-a64c-4715-b499-d71e9ca2bd60};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
... my project was totally absent this element. You may or may not also need to add <MinimumVisualStudioVersion>15.0</MinimumVisualStudioVersion> and possibly others. If the problem continues, try creating a new VSIX project and comparing the two proj files for any other substantive differences.
When I click on File>New>Project in Visual studio 2013 there are not any project templates present.
However, in a solution file(obviously created in another version of visual studio) when I try "Add>New Project" all the templates are present there.
I want to mention few things:-
I have tried all the possible switches like /installvstemplates, /ResetUserData, /ResetSkipPkgs, /ResetAddin etc.
Tried this:
Open the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version}
Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version}_Config
Delete the %USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{version} directory.
Re-installed visual studio several times even after deleting the "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0" folder
Currently I am working on Windows 8.1.
Same setup of the product works perfectly on the another system running on Windows 7 service pack 1. What can I do now fix this problem?
Inside visual studio
On the menu bar, choose Tools, Import and Export Settings.
Choose the Reset all settings option button, and then choose the Next button.
Choose the No, just reset setttings, overwriting my current settings option button, and then choose the Next button.

How do I switch between debug and release in Visual C# 2010 Express?
I have looked in the project properties, but it seems to be missing. What am I missing?
Enable the Tools → Settings → Expert Settings menu option
Go to Tools → Options
In the dialog box, check Show All Settings option in the bottom left.
In the above dialog, now choose Projects and Solutions → General.
Check the option Show advanced build configurations.
Click OK.
You should be able to see the Release/Debug options in the toolbar now.
Heh, that one baffled me too when I first installed Visual C# Express 2010. It turns out Microsoft has added a "Basic settings" mode to the Express editions that is selected by default.
You can change to "Expert settings" mode in the Tools menu, after that, the Debug/Release combo will be back.
Most IDE settings (window docking locations, font settings, etc.) seem to be kept in separate profiles between basic and expert mode, so you'll have to arrange your tool windows again and so on.
I'm sure there's some obscure way that I don't remember... what I do know is that if you click "Build" it will build the Release version, but if you click "Start Debugging" it will build the Debug version. So if you just want to be able to get the output from both versions, that should sort it for you.
You can follow these steps for visual studio 2010 professional edition.
Go to Tools -> Customize .
Select Commands Tab.
Select ToolBar and then Build from combobox.
Click on Add Command Button.
Select Build from Categories and then select Solution Configurations from Commands.
This is really strange. I've installed Windows 7 Pro x64, then I installed Visual C# 2010 Express and I couldn't find it at all. No matter how I built, it always produced Debug version. I could press F6 or press Build button and it still produced Debug version and I don't have any select box with Debug/Release to choose.
Finally I found it. I can change it by clicking my Soulution in Solution Explorer window and then in Properties window under Active Config.
The last answer by prostynick was the final clue.
I am using visual studio 2010 express.
First you need to have the advanced setting checked Tools ---> Settings
Next is solution explorer double left click or single right click "My Project" to open the project.
You get a large screen with application, compile, debug ... menu on the side
Select Compile
Look at "Build Output path:
It is probably pointing at bin\Debug folder.
Changing this will change where output from a build goes
