We have some windows issues with Microsoft project 2013. It will not connect with msps 2013. We were forced to update windows to the latest version. We are wondering if it would be better to get MS Project 2016 so we can interact with our MSPS 2013 on prem. We know MS Project 2016 works well with current version of Windows 10. Any hints?
After research I have discovered that MS project installed with the correct suite will connect to MSPS 2013 on the server. It is backwards compatible and has no issues with current release of Windows (1909).

my job is to maintain a word-addin, created many years ago, developed by many young programmers like me ;) the addin works fine and there are only a few and easy changes to do from time to time, so my task is to bring the development environment up to date.
The addin was handed over to me as an visual basic project with Visual Studio 2005(in XP-Mode) and a .dot-file
Now I wanted to use Visual Studio 2015, but when I tried to migrate the project there is an error which says the word-version i'm using is not supported by VS2015 and tells me to use Office 2010 minimum. The problem is, my company just uses Office(Word) 2007.
So how can i get VS2015 to migrate the project properly and to use word 2007? Or do I have to use 2010? I read 2010-addins can be used in 2007 and via versa, so this should not be the problem.
Following software is installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4/4.5/4.5.1/4.5.2/4.6
Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime
Visual Studio 2015 Community
Microsoft Office Word 2007
thanks for help :) and please excuse my bad english
The short answer is that you cannot use Visual Studio 2015 to open the original project, but you can recreate the code in a new project that will still work with Office 2007:

I recently installed the Office 2016 32 bit edition on my Windows 10 Enterprise OS.
I had a Story Board Add-In with PowerPoint - Office 2013, which now does not work.
I can see the Add-In but when I click any of its menu items, I get this message:
TF86001: Team Foundation was unable to load the Office Add-In. This
may be caused by a Team Foundation Client installation problem or lack
of .Net programmability Support in the Office Application.

So far I have tried the following steps:
- Reinstalled Office
- Repaired Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition
- Reinstalled "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x64)" from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=48217
My suspicion is that since I have a 32 bit version of Office 2016 on my 64 bit OS, I would need a corresponding 32 bit version of Visual Studio Tools for Office. I was able to download the 32 bit edition of the software but it was blocked from being installed by the OS.
Any suggestions? Hate that storyboard no longer works :-(
Finally found the solution.
As I suspected, I had to first remove all 32 bit editions of Office, including Office Pro, Visio & SharePoint Designer.
Then I installed Office 64 bit edition.
Went into File, Options, Add-Ins, Manage COM Addins.
Added "Team Foundation Add-in" and bingo the Storyboard menu came back
Click on "Storyboard Shapes" now works perfectly!
Some Explanation
It worked inb the Office 2013 32 bit version because Visual Studio Tools for Office allowed a 32 bit install. Since I installed the new version, VSTO ONLY allows the 64 version to be installed, i.e. it auto-detects your processor in the one installer file. Hence everything now has to be the 64 bit edition.
Every page I seem to point to while trying to learn how to develop Win8 apps (such as this MS Page) points me to a download package that includes "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8."
However, I already have VS 2012 Pro.
Do I still need to obtain VS 2012 Express for Windows 8 for some reason, or is there an alternate path I can take to continue to use my existing VS 2012 in order to build Windows 8 apps?
No.
Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition for Windows 8 can create and edit Windows Store projects. Those same projects can be opened and edited in Visual Studio 2012 Pro and Ultimate. However, Visual Studio 2012 Pro and Ultimate can create other types of projects (like Windows Phone, WCP, WPF) that cannot be opened by VS 2012 Express Edition because Express for Windows 8 Apps is intentionally limited to only build Windows 8 apps.
The answer to your question is no, you do not need Express if you have Pro. Pro is the superset of the Express editions. Other Express editions include Windows Phone, Web, and Windows Apps. They are the free edition of Visual Studio, and for that reason alone they are limited in features.
Express is the cut-down edition of VS and as such it is less capable than the Pro edition. So, you should stick to VS 2012 Pro which is more than capable of developing Windows 8 apps.
I know that the SDK is not finished, yet a few lucky developers have got their hands on it already, so here's my question: when you installing Windows Phone 8 SDK, did it install the SDK in Visual Studio 2010 also, or just on the 2012 edition (including 2012 Express)?
After posting my question, two different developers that had access to the SDK contacted me directly stating that there is no integration of the Windows Phone 8 SDK in Visual Studio 2010, just on the 2012 version.
No, You need Visual Studio 2012, Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise x64 + processor supporting SLAT for running Hyper-V.
You can now download the WP8 SDK here:

I am bit confused as on this..
Which version of Share Point designer (32 or 64bit) do I need to use to work on SP 2010.
When I try to download the 64 bit , I see a message as "32 bit is recomended for most users ..".
I have installed SP 2010 on win 2008 R2 in virtual box. Is it mandatory for me to install Vs 2010 on same machine to develop web parts ...?? Can I install Vs 2010 in a different machine ..?? Which version of VS 2010(Express, Prof, Prem or Ult) is required ..??
Sharepoint 2010 can be installed on client machines with Windows 7 or Vista.
It is required for Sharepoint 2010 products that you are running x64 version of OS.
The development tools like VS and Sharepoint designer can be either 32bit or 64bit.
Microsoft recommends 32-bit for all the Office products, including SharePoint Designer included. I believe it's mostly to do with compatibility with other programs.
"The 32-bit version of Office 2010 is the recommended option for most people, because it prevents potential compatibility issues with other 32-bit applications, specifically third-party add-ins that are available only for 32-bit operating systems."
Taken from here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-microsoft-office-HA010369476.aspx
Which version of Share Point designer (32 or 64bit) do I need to use to work on SP 2010?
You can use both the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. But, it is recommended that you install the 32-bit version because the Office 2010 32-bit version is recommended. If you install the SharePoint Designer 2010 64-bit version than you cannot install the 32-bit version of Office 2010.
I have installed SP 2010 on win 2008 R2 in virtual box. Is it mandatory for me to install Vs 2010 on same machine to develop web parts ...?? Can I install Vs 2010 in a different machine ..?? Which version of VS 2010(Express, Prof, Prem or Ult) is required ..??
I have also installed SP 2010 on Win 2008 R2 in VBox. The SP installation is a standalone installation. I have also installed VS 2010 on the same VM. But, you could separate out the SP and VS 2010 installation on multiple VMs. The downside is you will need to have both VMs running at the same time (at least during your deployment to SP). You will need at least the professional edition of VS 2010.
