I have VS 2017 CE, SQL Server 2016 DE and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 13.0.16106.4. About VS is showing Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools as installed.
I would like to install SSDT so that I can do the SSRS/SSIS and SSAS but I don't know which one to install, it's giving few options from here
It reads
Download SQL Server Data Tools 17.1 for Visual Studio 2015
Download Data-Tier Application Framework (DacFx) 17.1
From the same website
It then advises "To use SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2017 see this section below". When I go to the link provided it takes me to visualstudio.com website. It's not apparent to me what I need to download from there, is it the Community Edition?
Going back to the first link I provided, it advises...
If you are using SSDT with Visual Studio 2017, install the AS and RS components:
Analysis Services
Reporting Services
I also found another link...www.visualstudio.com/vs/ssdt/
Also are there any conflict between sql server 2016 and vs 2017 CE when taking SSRS/SSIS or SSAS tasks?
StackOverFlow is giving me message that I need to have number of reputation before I can give more than 1 website link.
Can someone advise me which one to install?
Thanks.
For Visual Studio 2017, there is not yet a stand alone install of SSIS|AS|RS. However, there are VSIX installs available for RS and AS. See links below.
SSIS is working on creating a standalone install as well as a VSIX package.

I'm wondering if someone could help me out with this issue please.
First up the background, we've been using TeamCity for database deployments for a while. Today we upgraded to 10.0.5. All fine.
The issue we have is with SQL 2016 database projects. I'm trying to get the database project to build in TeamCity. The build 'Visual Studio' setting in the build was set to 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2015' this causes issues as it cant build it. So I changed it to be 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2017' and I installed 'Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017' on the TeamCity box.
Now when I click the run button I get a message back saying
"Warning no enabled compatible build agents......".
Its almost as if the build agent is allowed to use the VS2015 MSBuild but not the 2017 one and I'm not sure how to authorise it to be able to.
I've attached some screenshots of the screens as well.
Thanks,
Nic
I managed to resolve this simply be restarting the server.
Thanks,

I have Windows 7 Professional x64. I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Visual Studio 2012 Premium installed on my machine.
I installed TFS Power Tools Decemeber 2011. I restarted my computer after successful installation. I then checked out a folder from TFS 2010 but the TFS menu items in Windows Explorer context menu do not appear when i right click on the folder.
I even reinstalled it by uinstalling it, restarting the pc and installing it again then restarting it again but same issue.
I have followed the instructions outlined in here:
TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
But same issue same issue occurs. Would anyone know what else i can do to get the TFS menu items to appear in the context menu please?
Thanks in advance,
I am not sure if this would help or you are willing to use a new version but I had the exact same environment and issue with you.
What I had done is that I uninstalled the old TFS Power Tools ( listed with a "Microsoft Team Foundation Server" prefix and/or "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" in Control-Panel/Programs-and-Features ) and install a newer version which is RTM. You can download them at http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=35775 and install the following in the same order listed below
Team Foundation Server 2012 RTM Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 1 Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 2 Power Tools.msi
Close Visual Studio before you start then restart after installing, you should see your context menu afterwards together with the green arrow that indicates it is in TFS
Here is a screenshot of it
Also please take note that after installation this would not happen instantaneously as advised on this post: TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
It sometimes takes a while for the TfsComProviderSvr.exe to check if
the local folder is a workspace and register the shell extension.
So this depends on many variables, your TFS server speed, your machine speed and your network speed. In my case I left it overnight to fully show everything.
Windows has a limit on home many overlay icons it can support. This started happening to me after i installed google drive, one drive, and dropbox and the TFSOverlay got pushed down to the bottom in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
You can fix it by either
Uninstalling some of the overlay apps. (Eg: remove Google drive
or Dropbox)
Rename the TFS folders in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers to start with numbers so they take priority (Eg: "1TfsOverlayAdd" , "2TfsOverlayEdit" etc.).
Also there is usually a delay for the green icons to appear in the folder explorer, so be patient.
I was having the same problem and just I executed this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 Power
Tools\TfsComProviderSvr.exe
After a few minutes the menu appeared.
This problem also occurs when you are running Visual Studio under different credentials (i.e. an account with Administrator privileges) than the logged on user. Logging on as that same user displays the ShellExtension correctly. But that's just not an option here...
I have not yet found a solution. It would be a nice feature to be able to set some options for TfsComProviderSvr.exe, so that one can let it watch workspace folders for a different 'Team Member' than the logged on user...
I've tried running Explorer.exe with other credentials, but that does not spawn a new TfsComProviderSvr.exe. Starting it by hand with the different credentials also does not seem to work. An instance of TfsComProviderSvr.exe is always (re)spawned for the currently logged on user.
Forgive me for sharing the obvious, but I had a similar issue, and in my case it appears that the default selected installed features were different than I expected.
I reran the installer using "Modify" instead of "Repair" and confirmed that the Windows Shell Extension feature was selected for installation:
I'm running a similar environment (VS 2010 Shell with VS 2013 Professional). Perhaps that impacts the defaults.
Here is the Power Tools Installer that I used.
I had a similar issue, I ripped off old the version, gave me some issues as you have to stop the TFS process and the explorer process but you can always restart explorer again once the old version has been uninstalled.
Then I restated my machine.
Installed latest version: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b1ef7eb2-e084-4cb8-9bc7-06c3bad9148f ( version 11.0.60506.0 )
Restarted my pc again
Navigated to a source control folder and all TFS icons and shell extensions now started to appear.
Bottom line, the latest version worked for me, did not have to fiddle with reg'values at all.
Here's how I fixed mine. I had installed Visual Studio 2015 and installed TFS Power Tools for VS 2015. I also installed Visual Studio 2017. I generally use VS 2017 and had attached to TFS there. I hadn't attached VS 2015 to TFS and the power tools menu would not show up in explorer. I finally realized that when they say you have to have the same version of Visual Studio installed that you ALSO have to have that visual studio Team Explorer connected to TFS. You don't have to use it beyond that, but it must be connected using the dialog, like you see here.
So, I bought into the dream in the form of a surface pro and then I installed Visual Studio 2010 in the hopes of coding on the toilet. However, I cannot get SP1 to install (from this link: here). Has anyone successfully installed SP1 on the surface?
The error I get is:
KB2736182 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer. Please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=225649 for more details.
If you follow the link you'll see this gem:

I have been playing around with Windows 8 Developer Preview and Visual Studio 11 Express, but I am facing an issue that is a bit annoying. Every 1 or 2 days, I get the following error when I open Visual Studio: "could not obtain license due to error 80090317"
This issue is mentioned here and here, but in both cases it is said that the issue shows up when Windows 8 is installed as an upgrade to Windows 7, which is not my scenario. I did a clean install in an new partition and installed all the updates available. The workaround I have found so far is to put the date of my system a few months in the past, run Visual Studio and acquire a license, then put the current date back. This works for a while until the message shows up again.
Has someone faced this issue?
Has someone a more permanent workaround for this?
A bit more details on my current setup:
Do not use the Developer Preview.
Download the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and the Visual Studio 11 Beta
Update as for June 15, 2012:
Download Windows 8 Release Preview and Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate
