After scouting numerous articles and stack overflow for hours it seems that the IBM Database Add-Ins are not supported for Visual Studio 2019. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
Reasons for installing the Add Ins was to create entity classes in asp.net using web forms.
IBM Database Version : DB2 LUW 10.5
Reasons for the conclusions:
Installed the same fix packs for the IBM Data Server Driver Package as well as IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio (Fix Pack 11) https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/3501195
Log Error Message : MSI (c) (98:58) [17:45:41:129]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio, Product Version: 10.5.1100.2866, Product Language: 1041, Manufacturer: Company Name, Installation Success or Error Status: 1603
If the add in does not support Visual Studio 2019 , what would be the best replacement for Entity Framework 6.0 in order to use with IBM Db2?
If the add in does support Visual Studio 2019 is there a workaround to the following problem?
To get paid support (from IBM) for Visual-Studio 2019 in Db2, you need to have the visual studio add in that comes with Db2 v11.5.
For Db2 V10.5, it supports up to Visual Studio 2013.
It does not mean it will not work with older Db2 versions, but when you have issues (which is very likely), you won't get much help from IBM unless you have the right versions. You might be able to devise workarounds in some cases, but why bother?
If you are paying for a licence for Db2, pay for the current version and get the relevant paid support included. If you are not paying (for example, you are using a community edition) then get the latest version anyway. There seems no genuine reason for using the (out of support) Db2 v10.5 build if you are trying to use it with Microsoft software that was developed long after Db2 v10.5 was created.
Here is the link to the page that shows Db2 v11.5 supports Visual Studio 2019.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Isolated Shell project template missing ?Any clue if i missed any extension pack pack or individual workload while installing ?
At the time of this writing (April 10, 2017) the Visual Studio 2017 Isolated / Integrated Shells haven't been announced yet. It seems that Microsoft will provide them but they need time to accommodate to the new Visual Studio 2017 internal component structure and setup. As you may know, Visual Studio 2017 doesn't use GAC or normal Windows Registry (it uses a private Registry hive) and its setup is based on workloads and very granular individual components. For example, the standalone Visual Studio 2017 Team Explorer was announced last week, weeks after the initial launch of Visual Studio 2017 RTM. With the Shells the same will happen eventually.
And now 3 years later (March 2020), it looks like Microsoft gave up on the Isolated Shell for Visual Studio. I could not find an official retirement of the software, however 2015 is the latest version I have found any reference to.

in our company we still have SQL Server 2008 R2.
We use BIDS.
Can we use SSDT 2013? Is it a free tool? Or it needs a license?
Could not find this info on Microsoft site.
If it´s free, I need something to show Directors Board that we are not having problem using it.
Thanks!
First there is a difference between SSDT and SSDT-BI. SSDT is the database projects which lets you manage t-sql. SSDT-BI is for ssis, ssas, ssrs projects.
SSDT and SSDT-BI have merged to become one in the Visual Studio 2015 version but unless you are on sql 2012+ you will need to install the version of SSDT-BI that you need for your sql. If you are on sql 2008 r2 then that is actually SSDT-BI predecessor "BIDS".
If you are using SSDT-BI (or BIDS) just run the installer that comes with the version of SQL you are targetting and install from there, these are free and you pay a license to use the server (unless it is express ahhhhh).
If you are looking at SSDT database projects, then it is a little bit complicated in that SSDT itself is free but it is hosted inside visual studio so your options are:
Free as in no license cost
SSDT in Visual Studio Shell
If you do not have visual studio installed when you download SSDT it will install the visual studio shell which is a limited version of visual studio.
SSDT (DB tools) in Visual Studio Express
If you download and install Visual Studio Express you will get a copy of SSDT database tools (no BI). Downloading a later copy of SSDT will install it into Visual Studio Express.
Express and shell are limited in that you cannot add add-ins (vspackages) to them but they functionally work.
Not Free as in require a license
SSDT in Visual Studio Pro / Ent
If you already have visual studio professional or enterprise installed you will need a license for that. They ship with a version of SSDT and downloading the latest SSDT will install into it.
Free as in doesn't require a license but does have restrictions
SSDT in Visual Studio Community Edition
Visual Studio community edition is the same as professional but it is for community projects or small companies (current requirements, no idea if these ever change):
For organizations
An unlimited number of users within an organization can use Visual
Studio Community for the following scenarios: in a classroom learning
environment, for academic research, or for contributing to open source
projects.
For all other usage scenarios: In non-enterprise organizations, up to
five users can use Visual Studio Community. In enterprise
organizations (meaning those with >250 PCs or >$1 Million US Dollars
in annual revenue), no use is permitted beyond the open source,
academic research, and classroom learning environment scenarios
described above.

Yes. It is free. All versions of SSDT are free as I can remember.
Please read https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt204009.aspx
Quoted:
"
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is a modern development tool that you can download for free to build SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL databases, Integration Services packages, Analysis Services data models, and Reporting Services reports. With SSDT, you can design and deploy any SQL Server content type with the same ease as you would develop an application in Visual Studio.
This release supports SQL Server 2016 through SQL Server 2005, and provides the design environment for adding features that are new in SQL Server 2016.
SSDT is based on Visual Studio and co-released with SQL Server as a free web download.

We are planning to use SSRS for reporting, using Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2012. i've tried a few times to download the plugin from Microsoft's site:
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013
After downloading whenever I try to run the exe I get an extraction failed message, doesn't say anything else about the error. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, have .Net 4.5.1 installed. Has anyone been able to install it?
We resolved the issue, our anti-virus was blocking the extraction. Disabled the anti-virus and it extracted and installed fine.
I have a Visual Studio 2012 project that reports an error from msbuild when trying to publish the database from the command line:
Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets(390,5): Build error :
Incompatible versions of SQL Server Data Tools and database runtime
components are installed on this computer.
I have checked and installed all updates for VS2012 SSDT and everything is up to date.
The trick was to install SSDT updates for Visual Studio 2010 - despite the fact that my solution was running in VIsual Studio 2012. The solution was upgraded from 2010 so perhaps that is why there is the dependency.
Another clue was in the path to the build target - v10 not v11
C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets(390,5): [error message followed]
I had the same issue but without the version v10/v11 being the issue.
To fix this problem, I closed Visual Studio 2012 then went into Programs and Features and did a repair of the following installer:
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - enu (11.1.41025.0)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Database Projects - Web installer entry point
Restart Visual Studio and compile again. Worked for me.
Downloading and running the latest installer for Visual Studio 2012 fixed this issue for me.
I am using the latest version, 1.0.82.0 (sqlite-netFx40-setup-bundle-x86-2010-1.0.82.0.exe), and am using the released version of Visual Studio 2012 with all the latest everything.
I do not see the SQLite in the Designer Data Source in Source Explorer (new Connections).
The download on SQLite states, "This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2010". I presume the "Visual Studio 2010" part is why I do not see the designer in VS2012, which is what I have.
How can I get the designer to work with VS2012?
When will the System.Data.SQLite.org team come out with a version that works with VS 2012?
(I did see a couple of posts back in July which talked about 1.0.66 and 1.0.73, but that was then and 1.0.82 includes the designers just for VS 2010 apparently. I see other file names with "-2008" presumably for Visual Studio 2008. That means that a Visual Studio 2012 will probably come, but in the mean time, I am curious about a manual registry hack or something like that.)
In order to get designer support for SQLite in Visual Studio, you have to download a very specific version of System.Data.SQLite. The downloads page has an astonishing 56 different possibilities, so it's easy to get the wrong one.
Look for the big bold text that says this:
This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2012.
But it's still easy to miss among the zillions of downloads. If you need to, use Control-F to find the "Visual Studio 2012" text.
Don't download the 64-bit version, even if you're on a 64-bit machine. You need the 32-bit version with the text above to get designer support.
NEW EDIT NOW I GOT IT WORKING!
Goto Visual Studio, Manage Nuget, search for online packages, search "SQLite", install System.Data.SQLite, and boom, you can use designer and evrything is working again.
After some search I found my answer, 1.0.83, which will come out in November XX, 2012.
Visual Studio 2012 aside from the v10 to v11 registry hive difference also has what the team calls a "redesigned designer support".
Here is the link to the information.
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wiki
1.0.83.0 - November XX, 2012 (release scheduled)
•Updated to SQLite 3.7.15.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to all the applicable solution/project files, their associated supporting files, and the test suite.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to the redesigned designer support installer.
and other changes.
I could not find any interim solution on the web, sadly. The lack of a fix affects report based projects with DevExpress and projects that use the explorer.
