Can't connect Release Management client for Visual Studio to VSTS - ms-release-management

I want to test Microsoft Release Management with Visual Studio Online.
I installed release management client for visual studio 2013. Installation worked fine but I was unable to configure it and always get the error message at start:
"current client version is not compatible. You must upgrade the client"
I installed update 4 that is the latest version for VS 2013.
So I don't understand what I can do.
Does anybody solved this issue?
It is also unclea for me with what the client is not compatible because this happend with VSO ou TFS 2013 as well
thank

It's suggested to use the new features from the Release hub in your account.
The release templates and releases data that you create in WPF client will not be migrated to the new vNext service. The two services (RM client + RM service and vNext RM services) will co-exist until March 1st 2016. You will have to re-create your release definitions using the web interface before that time.

VSTS Release Management doesn't support the Release Management client (WPF client). You have to use the web interface.

How to install SQL Server support for Visual Studio 2017?

I am not able to connect to SQL Server .dbml file. When I am trying to connect to SQL Server, it shows a message to "install the missing package". Now, when I am installing that missing plug-in, it just shows the progress bar and at last shows "Installation completed". But again when I try to connect, it shows the above error message.
Can anyone please help me to install it manually?
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Search for and install the latest version of SSDT (Sql Server Data Tools).
I install Visual Studio (community edition) quite often and this happened to one of the PCs I develop on.
Uninstalling/Re-installing Visual Studio is what make this work.
Starting with Visual Studio 2017, the functionality of creating Database Projects has been integrated into the Visual Studio installation. There is no need to install the SSDT standalone installer for the core SSDT experience. To create Integration Services/Analysis Services/Reporting Services projects you still need the SSDT standalone installer.
For Database Projects, install the Data Storage and Processing workload for Visual Studio
For Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, download and install SQL Server Data Tools

Visual Studio 2017 does not have Business Intelligence Integration Services/Projects

I do not see an option to create an SSIS project using Visual Studio 2017.
VS2017 supports ssis or ssrs projects if you install SSDT for VS2017 here.
Click on the newly downloaded file and check SSIS or SSRS components that you required, as show in diagram :-
Once you have installed this, try opening ssis / ssrs project. I managed to open ssis developed on vs2010.
You should see these component installed. (reboot if you don't see them).
Try open your project again. If you get 'incompatible project' - right click on your project, select "reload project" (not reopen the solution)
Information on this will probably get outdated fast because Microsoft is running to complete its work on this, but as today, June 9th 2017, support to create SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) projects on Visual Studio 2017 is not available. So, you can't see this option because so far it doesn't exist yet.
Beyond that, even installing what is being called SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools) in VS 2017 installer (what seems very confusing from Microsoft's part, using a known name for a different thing, breaking the behavior we expect as users), you won't see SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) project templates as well.
Actually, the Business Intelligence group under the Installed templates on the New Project dialog won't be present at all.
You need to go to this page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt) and install two separate installers, one for SSAS and one for SSRS.
Once you install at least one of these components, the Business Intelligence group will be created and the correspondent template(s) will be available. But as today, there is no installer for SSIS, so if you need to work with SSIS projects, you need to keep using SSDT 2015, for now.
I havent tried this scenario yet - I was scared off by the (unanswered) comments below the GA announcement blog post:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ssdt/2017/04/19/announcing-the-general-availability-ga-release-of-ssdt-17-0-april-2017/
I'll be staying on VS15 for a while ...
Integration Services project templates are now available in the latest release of SSDT for Visual Studio 2017.
Note: if you have recently installed SSDT for Visual Studio 2017. You need to remove the Reporting Services and Analysis Services installations before you proceed with installing SSDT.
There is no BI project in Visual Studio. Youll need to download SSDT. SSDT 2017 works fine :)

SSIS Integration with Visual Studio 2017 available from Aug 2017.

I installed in July 2018 and appears working fine. See Download link

SSDT 2013 new database Project missing

This might be a trivial error in my setup but I cannot seem to find where I went wrong in stalling SSDT 2013 with SQl Server and having the open to create a new database template
please see image
what I expect to be in the list in a sql template with the option to create a new database project
could someone tell me what i'm missing ?
Thanks in advance
For database projects you'll need to install a version of Visual Studio that supports it - in your case it looks like you ran the standalone SSDT-BI installer which installs SSIS, SSAS and SSRS templates. This doesn't include database project templates. What you need is to install one of the VS versions with support - there are 2 Express versions (Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop) and 3 paid versions (Premium, Pro, Ultimate). Here is a quote from the SSDT blog post explaining this:
Visual Studio 2013 - VS 2013 now has SQL Server tooling built in and shipped as part of the core product. Database Projects, SQL tools (such as schema compare & data compare), and the online experiences through SSOX are all included with the RTM version. We have full project and SSOX support in VS Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop, so we have discontinued our stand-alone integrated shell offering. We have a component update feed that will use VS Update to push notification to users. To manually check for updates, go to the Tools > Extensions and Updates... menu to open the dialog. We will continue to post announcements on our blog and forum that a release is available and what is included in that update.
What version of Visual Studio 2013 are you using? You need to have either the Ultimate, Premium or Pro version for SSDT (Link).
If you do have the right version of Visual Studio then you may need to re-run the installer and opt in to SQL Server Data Tools during setup.
I had this issue and resolved it several years ago. I needed to reinstall SSMS with Data Tools. Unfortunately I am encountering the same issue now, but luckily I had documented the issue at the time. I am finding that because there are newer versions of both VS and SSMS, it is hard to find the proper downloads.
From my documentation (3 years ago) None of the attempts to correct the Visual Studio install directly (SSDTBI_x86_ENU download from Microsoft) were successful, but once we did a complete reinstall of SQL Server 2014 which included the Data Tools, the needed template was available in the Add New Project dialog, and the previously incompatible projects found in GitHub******Report.sln were now compatible.

SQL Server 2014 CTP1 Setup failed

I have uninstalled Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and install VS professional 2013
after, i tried to Setup Sql Server 2014 but a message say
"Installation blocked due to detection of version of Visual Studio that install SQL Server 2012 client libraries.."
then i have uninstalled all Microsoft programs figured in this link without uninstalling visual studio 2013 .
and always i get the same problem
any solutions Please
At this point in time, you should be using CTP2, not CTP1.
You should be installing the CTP on a clean machine (preferably a VM), not a system with a bunch of pre-existing software - especially from previous versions of SQL Server / Visual Studio. CTP2 might get around this particular issue for you, but it's still best practice IMHO to run beta software in a clean environment.
Please review the release notes, in full, before proceeding.

VS 2010 db build & deployment with teamcity without VS 2010 installed on build server?

Has anyone managed to use vs2010 db build & deployment with teamcity without VS 2010 installed on build server?
I've registered the missing DLL's but it doesn't work and seems msdn suggest that we need vs installed on the build server.
Install the Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 and any other requirements (example being ASP MVC 3 framework), etc. Make sure you have the correct versions of .NET installed as well. I am able to build and run unit tests, no issue without Visual Studio 2010 on a windows 2008 r2 64-bit server.
