I am trying to convert some older VS2005 projects over to VS2015 Enterprise. When I open any with a report project (.rptproj), VS says the project is unsupported.
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
Every search I've done, the solution is to install SSDT (apparently formerly known as SSDT-BI)
I havs SSDT installed already.. when I download/install from here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx), it gives me repair/uninstall options. I've tried repair even though I did not suspect it was broken. There are no updates available under Tools > Extensions and Updates... in VS.
Where do I go from here? Every solution I've found says the same thing, but I already have SSDT.
Any info appreciated.
Support for BI projects for Visual Studio 2015 is available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/mt186501
There are two versions of SSDT available for Visual Studio 2015. Only the "Preview" version (available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt429383.aspx) contains the BI project types.
SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2015 (a.k.a. SSDT)
Open Visual Studio 2015 and choose the Tools > Extensions and Updates menu. SQL Server tooling updates will appear in the Updates list.
Visual Studio 2015 comes with SSDT which is why you kept getting repair screens - note "SQL Server Data Tools Preview in Visual Studio 2015" is the older version
I am in the process of installing MySQL on Windows and it asks for Visual Studio in the check requirements part. I didn't had Visual Studio installed before, so I download and installed the Visual Studio Community. Then I clicked on the MySQL check button to see if Visual Studio was installed and I does not recognize it. (I also tried to close MySQL installation and open it again, and also restart my computer)
Do I need a specific version of Visual Studio?
Thanks,
André.
You do not need Visual Studio for MySQL.
However, if you would like to use "MySQL for Visual Studio", it will require VS 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, or newer versions as time goes on (per installer).
When installing using the Windows MSI installer, in Setup Type, you probably selected Developer Default, which includes "MySQL for Visual Studio", which will require Visual Studio. Choose a Setup Type that does not install "MySQL for Visual Studio" if you do not need VS.
If you are installing MySQL on Windows, It requires Visual studio to be installed on your system. At the time of answering this question, supported versions are visual studio 2012, 2013, 2015 or 2017.
please install .Net developer tools for Visual studio if MySQL setup is not recognizing your visual studio. It will work. Same worked for me.
The official documentation of the installer reads:
Installation Requirements
MySQL Installer requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later. If this version is not installed on the host computer, you can download it by visiting the Microsoft website.
So, nothing about Visual Studio.
But, when trying to install the MySQL Shell, you can get the error message:
MySQL Shell 8.0.19 2…
This application requires Visual Studio 2019 Redistributable. Please install the Redistributable then run this installer again.
You will probably see the same requirements for "MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.9 2"
It depends on the version you have installed. For example, installing mysql8.0 on windows requires the operating system to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 installed in advance.
Microsoft official website https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 , just download the corresponding environment.
MySQL for Visual Studio can only integrate directly into Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012.
I have downloaded the no-install portable version of Workbench. When I run the exe file (on Windows XP), nothing happens. Does it need some MySQL running? I think it's standalone, right? I have XAMPP for MySQL. Any dependency etc?
You need to install the following in order to run the current version of MySQL Workbench:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019
See: dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-requirements-software.html
.
Update 2020:
Unfortunately this is still happening:
Download .NET 4.0 (My machine already had it.)
Download Visual C++
As the above solution states. Download the Mysql workbench
installer.
I still don't know why, it would allow me to install without checking for dependencies. I have become accustomed to this kind of behavior when I am installing any application and to not see it is annoying. I suppose I should leave this personal opinions out of my solution but I have had to install this multiple times and have comes across some kind of dependency issue.
What works for me (workbench 64bit) is that I installed Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
here is url:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
I installed both x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe
In my case, i tried all solutions but nothing worked.
My SO is windows 7 x64, with all the Redistributable Packages (x86,x64 / 2010,2013,2015)
The problem was that i tried to install the x64 workbench, but for some reason did not work (even my SO is x64).
so, the solution was download the x86 installer from : https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
There are two prerequisite requirements need to install MySql Workbench as follows.
.Net Framework 4.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
When .Net Framework 4.0 does not exist your computer installation will be corrupted. But if Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 does not exist your computer then you will continue the installation but cannot open MySql Workbench program. Sometimes you will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 instead of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. So I recommend to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013
In Windows 10 I browsed to %APPDATA%\MySQL\Workbench\ then deleted the workbench_user_data.dat file
Doing so lost my MySqlWorkbence settings but allowed MySqlWorkbence to open.
As per the current setup on June, 2017
Here is the downloadable link for Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package : https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x64.exe
Hope this will help, who are struggling with the download link.
Note: This is with regards to MySQL Workbench 6.3.9
I have uninstalled 8.0.19 (64) and installed 8.0.18 (64 bit) and now it Opens.
it might be due to running of xampp or wampp server stop all services running and try to open mysql command line
I found I needed more than just the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015.
I also needed what's at this page. It's confusing because the titles make it ambiguous as to whether you're downloading the (very heavy) Visual Studio or just Visual C++. In this case it only upgrades Visual C++, and MySQL Workbench launched after this install.
You should have these two already installed in your system:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
I did these two installations for MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE.
None of these suggestions worked for, however setting compatibility to Vista worked and now the workbench opens again.
2022 case:
My MySQL Workbench was working normally and from one moment it just didn't want to open anymore. I've lost almost half a day trying to fix it.
In folder %APPDATA%\MySQL\ I had to delete the whole folder Workbench,
instead of deleting just workbench_user_data.dat file (which didn't help)
Given that there's so little on this on the web, I'll provide my answer despite this thread being over two years old: it's probably a no-brainer but run Workbench as Administrator (doh!)
I just installed the ADO.NET connector from here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
Yet MySQL doesn't appear as a data source like it should. I tried restarting Visual Studio. It doesn't fix my issue. Did I install the wrong connector?
EDIT: STill nothing. I'm using Visual Studio Express For Desktop. Do I need to pay for the Ultimate edition to use a MySQL Data Source?
I was having the same problem just now. I solved it by uninstalling the latest Connector/NET drivers (6.7.4) and then installed the older drivers (6.6.5) and it works.
I am using Visual Studio 2010. I uninstalled the latest ones because I figured they were somehow related to .NET4.5, which I'm not able to use.
Update #1:
Supposedly another way is to register the MySql Connector with various Visual Studio versions (2010/2012/2013/2015...) during installation: Go to Modify Product Features and select all the relevant Visual Studio versions.
Update #2 - Visual Studio 2019 Update:
When I installed MySQL Community with the ConnectorNET and VisualStudio Plugin options included - MySQL didn't show up as a data provider in Visual Studio.
The installer I used included the VS Plugin version 1.2.9, which had supposedly fixed installation issues from 1.2.8, but still didn't work for me...
The solution for me was to uninstall the Connector and the Visual Studio Plugin, download them as individual components, and then install them separately (not as part of the MySQLServer Installer). Install the Connector first, then VS plugin after.
Connector Download
VS Plugin Download
I found the solution here, Thanks to #LambertHeenan.
NOTE about Visual Studio Express
The OP asks whether MySQL is supported with Visual Studio Express (which as far as I can tell has been renamed to Visual Studio Community). In the past MySQL officially didn't support Visual Studio Express, as per #Paul's answer below, but they do officially support Visual Studio Community 2017 and 2019, according to this page.
Stuzor and hexcodes solution worked for me as well. However, if you do want the latest connector you have to download another product. From the oracle website:
Starting with version 6.7, Connector/Net will no longer include the MySQL for Visual Studio integration. That functionality is now available in a separate product called MySQL for Visual Studio available using the MySQL Installer for Windows (see http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html).
I found this on the MySQL support page for the Visual Studio connectors.
It appears that they do not support the MySQL to Visual Studio EXPRESS editions.
So to answer your question, yes you may need the ultimate version or professional edition - just not Express to be able to use MySQL with VS.

Tried everything but on Visual Studio 2015 Community edition I got it working when I installed MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4+ from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
At time of writing I could download 1.2.6 which worked for me.
Release notes of 1.2.4 which adds support for VS2015 can be found at http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?3,633391
The Connector 6.7.x does not integrate the native data provider anymore. For "Visual Studio 2012" or less, you have to install "MySQL for Visual Studio".
If you are using "Visual Studio 2013" there is no possibility to integrate MySQL for the "Entity Framework" yet.
A solution should be available on 10/2013!
Just struggled with Visutal Studio 2017 Community Edition - none of above options worked for me.
In my case what i had to do was:
Run MySQL Installer and install/upgrade: Connector/NET and MySQL for Visual Studio to current versions (8.0.17 and 1.2.8 at the time)
Run Visual Studio Installer > Visual Studio Community 2017 > Modify > Individual components > add .NET Framework Targeting Packs for 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 and 4.7.2
Reopen project and change project target platform to 4.7.2
Remove all MySQL-related nuGET packages and references
Install following nuGET packages: EntityFramework, MySql.Data.Entity, Mysql.Data.Entities
Upgrade following nuGET packages: MySql.Data, BouncyCastle nad Google.Protobuf (for some reason there is an update available just after install)
Uninstall later version and install mysql-connector 6.3.9 for visual studio 2010.
After installing add the dll files and restart the visual studio.
It works fine.
i install mysql for visual studio and the problem simply solved.although version of my visual studio is 2012!
I tried to install to VS 2015 using the Web installer. It seemed to work, but there was still no MySQL entry for Data Connections. I ended up going to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/, using it to uninstall then re-install the connector. Not it works as expected.
I have faced the same problem and i have installed mysql-connector-net-8.0.11. But in visual studio is not showing the db connector for mysql. Then I was installed the mysql-for-visualstudio-1.2.8 and run the visual studio. Its working fine.
Thank you!
I'm trying to learn to create .net stored procedures, triggers, etc. using SQL Server 2008 Developer. I'm guessing my edition of Visual Studio 2008 Shell was installed with SS. At any rate, when I open visual studio and try to create a new project, all that is available is Business Intelligence Project and Other Project types. Other project types only lists Visual Studio Solutions.
Question: Is Visual Studio 2008 Shell appropriate for this or do I need a full-blown version? If I need the real thing, will VS 2010 Express work and if so, do I need to uninstall VS 2008 Shell first?
I have been searching for days for a solution to this. Any ideas any one?
There are a few gremlins regarding the order in which these various components (and versions of) are installed.
If you didn't previously have Visual Studio installed, the BI Dev Studio installation will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition.
From this MSDN thread:
You should make sure that Visual Studio is still installed. If you
didn't previously have VS installed, the BI Dev Studio installation
will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition.
Look in Add or Remove Programs for an entry like this. If you don't
find any entry for Visual Studio go to the location for SQL Server
setup and run .\Tools\Setup\vs_setup.exe. This will install the VS
Shell. After this is installed repair the BI Studio installation by
running the following from the command line from the .\Tools
directory: start /wait setup.exe /qb
REINSTALL=SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench REINSTALLMODE=OMUS
Personally, I'd first try uninstalling the BIDS Shell version, and then installing Express (following above instructions if the extra project types don't appear).
