VS2013 agents are not found in site https://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=40750,where can i download it from.I want it to install in build server to run unit test from TFS xaml build.
You'll need to download the TFS 2013 ISO, run the installation, and the configure the build controller and agents.
You can find the TFS 2013 ISO by going here and then selecting "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 with Update 5".
Installation and configuration instructions can be found here.

I have installed SSAS and created a project. After two months working with seas, now when creating a new project, the analysis service is not available. but I can open old SSAS projects. How I can create another new SSAS project.
In Visual Studio (Open as Admin):
- Go to "Tools" >> "Extensions and Updates..."
- In the left pane, click on "Online"
- In the Search box on the top right enter "SSDT"
- check if the Extension "Microsoft Analysis Services Projects" is installed
In case it is installed and you still cannot choose Analysis Services as New Projects, you need to un-install the Extension and follow the instructions on the following website and install SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools):

Visual Studio 2019: Install Extension "Microsoft Analysis Services Projects"
Visual Studio 2017: Either install Extension, if that doesn't work for you, intall SSDT with the standalone installer: Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.4)
Visual Studio 2015 and earlier: Install via SSDT standalone installer required
It depends on which version of Visual Studio you are using. In 2015 everything needed to be installed via the standalone installer SSDT. In 2017 both the standalone installer and extensions exist, whereas in 2019 the standalone installer got replaced by the extensions. The super confusing part is, that there is the option to install "SSDT" during the installation of Visual Studio. Unfortunately installing SSDT during installing Visual Studio does not include Analysis/Reporting/ Integration Services.
We currently use TFS 2013 with a suite of XAML builds, there are a few hundred projects here, each with an average of six build definitions each.
We're wanting to upgrade to TFS 2017 (2018 doesn't support XAML) but need to be able to support the XAML builds until they're all migrated.
According to MS, we can setup a TFS 2017 box, a build server with a 2017 build agent on it and a separate build server with a 2015 build agent on it which TFS can use to run the XAML builds.
My problem is... where to get the 2015 build agent installer from. Normally you ask TFS for the build agent installer, but we don't have a TFS 2015 installation.
Am I going to have to setup a TFS 2015 VM just so I can click one lousy link and download one installer. I've searched around but can't find any other place to get the damned thing from.
Anyone got a link to an MS page?
You could download the latest build agent from the link below:
Download Latest Agent , which will download the "vsts-agent-win7-x64-2.xxx.x.zip" file for you. Currently I believe that both TFS 2015 and TFS 2017 are downloading the same latest agent as mentioned above.
If you need a specific version of the agent you could take a look at the git hub for the specific Releases of the VSTS agents
We have TFS2015 and I am trialling Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (no installation disk).
I am now looking for an ISO with Microsoft Test Agents for Visual Studio 2015.
Documentation for VS 2015 states that these ISOs should be available:
I can get the web installer (exe) for the Agents from here, but where can I get the ISO?
Please note: I need the ISO to get hold of Test Controller 2015 to run Load Tests, so just having the Agents is not enough.
Also, I have tried using Test Agents 2015 with Test Controller 2013, and my Agent configuration fails with a time out (whilst attempting to restart the service).
And finally, I have tried using Test Agents 2013 with TFS2015, which fails with a "Registry lookup failed" error on the "Agent Deployment" build step in our build definition (the powershell scripts used in this step assume that there is a path for an installed Test Agent 2015 in your registry). This problem is fixed by providing a path to Test Agent 2015 installer in "Test Agent Location" property of that build step.
So, I am now trying to locate the ISO with Test Agents for Visual Studio 2015 - does anybody know where I can get it from, please?
It was announced that Test Agent 2015 no longer needed a Test Controller, as the agent orchestration now is managed by the server (TFS or VSTS). You can also refer this post.
Q: Will the Test Agent 2015 support all the scenarios supported by
Test Controller and Test Agent of Visual Studio 2013?
A: We recommend you use Agents for Visual Studio 2015 in all the new automated testing scenarios. You can use the Deploy Test Agents task in a build definition to download and install the test agents on your machine. The following table shows the scenarios supported by Agents for Visual Studio 2013 and the alternatives for Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015 and Team Services (TS).
For your situation, seems you are using on-premises Load Test , you need to use Test Controller/Test Agentes2013 Update5 . More information, please refer Using a Test Controller and Test Agents in a Load Test
As for ISO files, it seems agent for VS2013
are using the .iso including test agents and test controls in download center. But for agent for Vs2015 are just using .exe in download center.
Yes, of course, go to the page below:
https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/
at the scroll down the page you will see VS2015, after clicking download you will need to sign in,
then could choose the corresponding version you want to download:
do remember to sign in to Microsoft for downloading agents.

I've installed Visual Studio 2015 Build Tools onto our TeamCity server but the DNX folder is missing from within its installation root.
MSBuild 14 won't build an xproj because it imports Microsoft.DNX.targets
I've installed the latest DNX via the DNVM but it didn't create the DNX folder I was hoping it would.
The folder is obviously there on my dev box with VS2015 installed. I guess I could install the VS Community Edition, but why would the build tools be missing a crucial component??
Right now the DNX MSBuild targets are only installed with Visual Studio 2015 (specifically the Web Development Tools component).
https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/issues/2207#issuecomment-120076364
So it looks like I'll have to install Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on the build server.
People are saying I should be using dnu from the command line, but the issue is that I need to make an MSDeploy package, and AFAIK, only MSBuild can do this.
Looks like I need to read this.

I have a new TFS 2013 instance with its own build server that compiles a solution and deploys a database project without error. I added an MS build activity for deploying the web application projects in the solution to a target server, and that activity appears to execute without error, but nothing is actually published in the target.
Running the same publish profile from within Visual Studio on my local machine works properly. I dont know if it is missing some dependency (Web deploy 3.5 is installed on both the build and target servers, I am reinstalling VS 2013 on the build server).
Are there any specific steps/prerequisites required to make this work correctly on a TFS 2013 build server? I cannot find anything on the web other than "Install VS and MSDeploy".
I have this all working properly on a 2010 build server.
After much testing and enabling diagnostic level logging, I found that the build activity was trying to use VS 2012 (version 11) activity targets for these VS 2013 (version 12) projects. (VS 2010, 2012, and 2013 have been installed on this server to support various build activities)
In the activity specific log file this looks like this...
CodeAnalysisTargets = C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\CodeAnalysis\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.targets
This was causing the build process to log...
_DeploymentUnpublishable
Skipping unpublishable project
...and skip the publishing.
To fix this, I set the ToolVersion property of the MSBuild activity to "12.0" and re-ran the build
