Visual Studio 2013 update 5 with Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015 - asp.net

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 professioanl update 5, and I have new TFS server 2015 with Default collection only.
From this VS, I've connected to this server TFS 2015, and when I press on "Create Team Project" I got an error
How can I create a New Team project using 2013 on TFS 2015 ?

Ever since TFS has been released, you can only create a new team project with the version that is at least the same as the TFS server. In your case you'll need to be running Visual Studio 2015.
The Community Edition will be enough, I haven't installed an express edition in ages, but I suspect that even Visual studio 2015 express for Desktop will do the trick.

Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools VS2015 update tool won't detect Visual Studio 2015 although it is installed

I am trying to update Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools in Visual Studio 2015, but I get the following error:
"This product requires Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or later. Please install Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or later, then install this product again."
However, I do have Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 installed. I think this error may be related to the fact that there are several versions of Visual Studio installed in this computer (2008, 2010, 2015, 2017).
How can I make sure the update tool recognizes the correct installed version?
If your purpose is to install the .Net core and it was giving an error saying that you haven't installed VS Update 3 properly, then you can solve it by running :
DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1

Explore details of BizTalk 2010 orchestration

I have few BizTalk projects created using BTDF for BizTalk 2010. I have Visual Studio 2017 installed in my machine. To open these projects I installed Visul Studio 2015 and BTDF for MSVS 2015 but I still can't open the projects. Is there a way to explore details of biztalk orchestrations without installation BizTalk Server locally and/or older versions of MS VS? Some lightweight viewer?
BizTalk server and project versions are tightly coupled to Visual Studio versions. Visual Studio 2015 supports BizTalk 2016 projects only.
For BizTalk 2010, you need Visual Studio 2010.
With VS 2017 I think there isn't support for BizTalk projects yet, but with VS 2015 you can installing from de BizTalk MSI only the Visual Studio components, you don't need to install the full BizTalk Server.

Visual Studio 2017 Web Deploy fails with ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED.

I am trying to web deploy a new solution with ASP.NET Core 2 using Visual Studio 2017 but fails when I trying to validate the Connection.
The issue said ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED.
However with the same account over the same WEB Server in another solution in Visual Studio 2015 pass the validation.
P.D. I upgrade to using Visual Studio Professional 2017 Preview.version 15.5.0 Preview 4.0
In visual Studio 2017 you need to create a second Publish Profile.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Isolated Shell project template missing?

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.

How install LINQ Preview May 2006 on windows 7?

I have Visual Studio web developer Addison , Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition installed on my system.
My operative system is a Windows 7
When I start the installation of "LINQ Preview (May 2006).msi", I get the next error message: "Cannot find a valid Product to install LINQ with".
I click in the Accept button and get a second message: "You must have either Visual Studio 2005, Visual Basic 2005, Visual C# 2005 or Visual Web Developer 2005 installed before installing Microsoft .NET LINQ Preview (May 2006) Do you want to download Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions now?"
Why not install the 2008 express editions? They have LINQ built in [and hence dont require previews]. Is there something specific about the preview bits you're interested in examining?
