How to downgrade a Visual Studio extension? - visual-studio-extensions

I need to downgrade NuGet Package Manager extension for Visual Studio 2015 for testing purpose. How to do this? Is there any way to download an older version of this extension and install it into Visual Studio?

This site lists all recent releases, you must install the VSIX file.
https://github.com/NuGet/Home/releases

You can usually try a variation of the link you can get from the download button from the extension's page on https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ .
For example, at the time of this writing Failwyn/WebCompiler64 version 1.14.9.2 has an issue, so I downloaded version 1.14.8 from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/Failwyn/vsextensions/WebCompiler64/1.14.8/vspackage .

An easier way to downgrade any visual studio code extension is by:
1. search for the extension in visual studio code
2. Right click on the extension you want to downgrade
3. select Install Another Version...
4. Pick the version from the list if any and install

How to update my Nuget package manager in VISUAL STUDIO 2012

Visual studio shows no update button to update the Nuget package manager, but when i try to install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer i'm getting a error saying update the nuget manager by going to particular website (https://www.nuget.org/downloads)
Upgradation of VS12 nuget package manager is not possible now!
If you want any packages that is compatible with VS2012, while installing any packages you check with versions of that particular package version in nuget official website (supported for VS12) by clicking on the version tab.
You already have the most recent version of NuGet that is available for Visual Studio 2012. VS2012 is very old (in software terms) and hasn't has feature upgrades in a long time. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio for some NuGet features to work (for example, to be compatible with packages that use features only available in newer versions of NuGet). Alternatively, you might have luck with Entity Framework 6, rather than Entity Framework Core. However, there's a chance that even then you'll need to install an older version of EF6, rather than the newest version, to find a version that is compatible with VS2012.

Visual Studio 2017 15.7.2 - ASP.NET Core Application is missing

I installed the Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and updated it to the last version. I choosed the necessary web components in the Visual Studio Installer, tried to execute the devenv /InstallVSTemplates, tried to repair Visual Studio and installed .NET Core SDK (x86 and x64).
Nothing of this helped me, I still can't find the ASP.NET Core Application under .NET Core in Visual Studio. How can I solve this problem?
Solution that I found myself: Everything described above was indeed caused by a mistake in the third screen.
I did not find how to solve this problem automatically, I just installed all these .msi packages manually. The installer loads them, but for some unknown reason can not install it themselves. To install them manually, you need to go to the directory where Visual Studio is installed, there just look for these packages by name and install them. Then you need to run the installer again and if it shows another error with another package, you need to repeat the procedure with a manual installation. I had to repeat it three times with three different packages. After that, I started the installer once more and it installed the rest.

Running and testing Visual Studio extensions (workflow)

What is the workflow when developing VSIX extension? Should I uninstall and install extension each time I rebuild the project, or is there any easier way to do this?
Is it possible somehow to rebuild it and see the changes without uninstalling it and installing again?
Add the solution:
Like Simon Mourier's suggestion, for the VSIX project, you don't have to uninstall it if you want to update it. It would cover the previous project automatically during you run the latest version.

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.

Error while Publishing Web App in Visual Studio Professional 2013

I am trying to publish my Web App in Visual Studio Professional 2013 but getting the following error
I got the same question asked over here but no useful answer.
Can anyone please help
You probably will be using older version, that was having an issue. refer detail [here]
Install the newer web deployment tool, should work.
which .net version are you using.
check web deploy version. if vs has 2 web deploy version, the vs get confuse to take which version. If it has 2 version, just uninstall vs and then instal it along with web deploy. if the Vs has one 1 web deploy version, you uninstall and install the web deploy. It will rectify your problem i hope.
You can refer This link
Check if version 9.0.0.0 of the assembly is installed in GAC. (from the VS2013 developer command prompt) gacutil /l Microsoft.Web.Deployment. Issues like this have occurred in the past where things worked, then after installing an update (or trying to install one) then reports of missing dlls, like nuget, occur.
The usual course of action is to repair the Visual Studio installation.
There is a problem with your publish profile. Delete the pubxml file located bellow Properties folder in your project and then create a new publish profile.
I got the same problem when older project runs into the new .NET Framework, for that you have to do the following.
Right Click on your project name->select Property Pages -> Click Build from the menu-> then select Target Framework .Net framework 4.5 or your current using framework..
"Could not load file or assembly" means the required file (of that mentioned version) is not available in the assembly (nor in the registry). All you gotta to do is to ensure this same is installed properly that would allow you to proceed further. The other things to ensure is the latest framework installed on your system.
Think you have some errors happen when to install or update Visual 2013, so you can reinstall again and this error will be fixed.
