R Tools for Visual Studio not installing properly in VS2017 - r

I tried installing the "R tools for Visual studio" in visual studio 2017, as explained in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/visualstudio/rtvs/installation#installation-in-visual-studio-2017 , but after installation nothing shows up in VS2017. The description on that web page doesn't properly describe the installation UI: step 3 mentions making sure that "R language support", "Runtime support for R development", and "Microsoft R client" are selected, but only the latter is available as an option - the first two are nowhere to be found. I am trying to get it installed on VS 2017 professional, on windows 7.
I also tried the installation for VS 2015, and that seems to work fine.
Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong, if the installer is bugged, or if something else is going on?

This has been logged as a bug on the RTVS Github repo.
Customers have reported that R in the VS 2017 Data Science Workload is blocked from installing on Windows 7. We have verified this issue and have a fix prepared for the next update of Visual Studio 2017.
We are currently working with the Visual Studio team to get this fix deployed as quickly as possible.

Unable to find the Report Data Pane in Visual Studio 2019

I'm unable to find the Report Data Pane in Visual Studio 2019.
I tried installing all relevant extensions and using Ctrl Alt D as per reports I have found on here but this hasn't seemed to do anything.
This has now been resolved, re-imaged laptop > re-installed VS2019 with all required extensions
I believe it may have been a corrupt install of VS but this is yet to be confirmed by Microsoft

R Tools for Visual Studio - R Project Template Missing

I just installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and I then installed the R Tools for Visual Studio. When I click on New Projects, I don't see R listed as a template type. However, I watched a Microsoft Build video, made in May of this year, and R did show up on the presenters copy of VS when he created a new project. Anyone know why I don't see it?
Do you see R Tools menu? If yes, what is version of R Tools in Help About? If no, try uninstalling and reinstalling R Tools.

System.Data.SQLite Visual Studio 2012 .NET 4.5 Won't Show in Data Source

I'm developing on a Winodws 7 x86 machine in Visual Studio 2012 using .NET 4.5. I installed the x86/x64 System.Data.SQLite official Nuget package for my project. But I still don't see it as an option in the Data Source\Data Provider selections in the "Choose data source" dialog. I saw this answer here and it looks like this is all I should have to do (SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source). Am I missing something?
Thanks!
This package worked for me.
Apparently
"This setup package is capable of installing the design-time
components for Visual Studio 2012."
means
"This setup package is required for installing the design-time
components for Visual Studio 2012."
I just wanted to add this as a followup because I was having issues seeing the designer in VS2012 as well and it may help others in the future.
After multiple attempts at installing the designer and not seeing it show up, I ran
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup
This will force VS to rebuild its registry based on all of the installed packages. This will take a couple of minutes. Afterwards, I was able to start up VS 2012 and see the entry.
I am curious whether the installer executes this command at all or if it just triggers it but does not wait for it to finish. At which point the end user opens VS 2012 before the command has time to finish.

SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source

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.
