Pex still good in Visual Studio 2015 - microsoft-fakes

I use Visual Studio Community 2015 and would like to know if I can still set up Pex and moles framework as I would have in VS 2013, for use with my community VS 2015, since I do not have the new intelligent feature.

I am afraid that it is not available. You could vote here for it being available in all VS 2015 editions and not restricted to Premium and Ultimate editions.

Visual Studio Express 2015 for windows 10 does't have visual basic form template

I can't find that, is there a problem? Please I can't find it not even in the C# or C++ or javascript, please HELP!
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows targets the Universal Windows Platform, not WinForms. For WinForms you'll need Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop or Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
If you meet it's licensing requirements I'd recommend the Community Edition.

visual studio 2015 office 2007

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:

Is it Possible to Open a Visual Basic for Devices Project in Studio 2010 or 2013?

I'm evaluating source code that was created in either Studio 2005 or 2008. The solution contains a Visual Basic for Devices project .vbdbproj. I tried to open/convert it in Studio 2010 but could not do so. Since I don't have Studio 2005 or 2008 installed, how can I used either Studio 2010 or 2013 to open this solution?

Where to download vcredist?

I feel a little stupid asking this question, but I hope that this might be helpful to others as well.
Background: We/I are developing some software with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (VC9). We would like to provide the vcredist along the software on the cd.
Now, I am used to ask google "download vcredist 2008 sp1" and usually it leads me to the following (also bookmarked) web pages:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582 (32 bit)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2092 (64 bit)
I think I have downloaded different versions (9.0.30729.01 and later 9.0.30729.17) from that same URL as they came available. Today, only the .17 is available on that page. Now, a customer complained and told me that there is a 9.0.30729.6161 available, but I can't find it. The closest I could get was 9.0.30729.5677:
When I searched google for that specific version, it lead me to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2538243 which is saying, that a security update is available.
The linked Security Bulletin https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-025 lists the vcredist 2008 sp1 as affected and as a new link to something that seems to be an updated version of the vcredist 2008 sp1, although it has a slightly different name, in that it also bears the "mfc" in it's name: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26368
File names, file sizes and version numbers suggest these are updated versions of the vcredist 2008 sp1. This is the version 9.0.30729.5677
Is there ONE URL where I can always pull the newest version ?
Is there some kind of notification system (email list, rss-feed, ...) that informs me about a new vcredist ?

Does VS 2010 Pro have VB 2010? Will VB 6 run in Windows 7 XP-compatibility mode?

I have Visual Basic 6 Pro sp6, and I am wondering does Visual Studio 2010 Pro
have the Visual Basic 2010. It seems that I encounter Visual C only when I
look at this online.
Another question. Will the Visual Basic 6 IDE run in Windows 7-Win XP mode?
Yes, all paid editions of Visual Studio 2010 support all mainstream .NET languages (Namely C# and VB.NET). Note though that VB.NET in Visual Studio 2002 onwards is significantly different from Visual Basic 6.
