The version of Visual Studio is unable to open .rptproj - reporting-services

I'm getting the error
The version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects.
....
"MyProject.rptproj"
I've seen this thread talking about the same error: Unable to upgrade a Reporting Services project to Visual Studio 2019
But the answer to it about installing Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension didn't solve my problem.
I have Microsoft Reporting Services Projects, SQL Server Integration Services Projects, Microsoft Analysis Services Projects and Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extensions installed and enabled. I tried disabling them, reopening VS, enabling them and reopening VS again, that didn't help. I also tried restarting my computer. Everything in SSRS is also configured properly. I also have SQL Server Data Tools installed in VS. Has anybody encountered this issue? Thanks in advance
Upd: Installing installing Visual Studio Extension Development in the VS installer didn't help, also My Visual Studio 2019 version is 16.11.11
Another note:
Even though I have Live Share disabled in VS Installer, I am still also getting Cascade Package warning:

I had to download "Microsoft Reporting Services Projects" for my "Visual Studio 2019" to fix that error and open my rptproj correctly.

ssrs RDL from Visual Studio 2013 to 2017

For many versions I have a reporting services project in Visual Studio. The latest is Visual Studio 2013. I have installed Visual Studio 2017 community edition and it has the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension. It also says that it has Data Tools installed as part of VS (at least that's what it looks like). Yet my rptproj file will not be recognized by Visual studio 2017. Every document that I'm sent to says I need SqlServer Data Tools but is that now a separate program I have to use to deal with reports outside of Visual Studio? It makes no sense to me given that there is a reporting Services projects in VS. But that isn't working at all. I've tried creating a new project and copying the RDL over to it. It opens it and I can see designer but when I try to preview I get the dreeded " Unknown report version 9". Any help would be very very much appreciated.
Just download and install
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt
SSDT will provide all the missing bits for VS2017. You will then be able to edit your reports in VS2017 but you will need to upgrade the solutions. You will be promoted to do this upgrade when you attempt to open the project/solution.

Cannot import .rptproj in VS2015 - says it's "Unsupported". Latest SSDT is installed

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

What Visual Studio do I need for MySQL?

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.

SQL Server Express with Mangement Studio does not install management studio

I downloaded the installation for SQL Server Express 2008 with Management Studio from here:
Download SQL Express 2008 with Management Studio
I ran the install and installed the SQL Server Services w/o issue, except there are no client-side tools. Management Studio Express did not install and I can find no way to install it. I have followed numerous posts on Microsoft's social sites, but no success. The posts that seem to make the most sense to me suggest running install and add features. When I do this, Management Studio is NOT listed as a feature to add:
As you can see by the image SQL Client Connectivity SDK is the ONLY option for added features.
Please advise.
I had this same problem. During the initial installation step where it checks pre-requisites, it found I did not have the PowerTools installed. I then installed the PowerTools and re-ran the checks and saw the screen above. But after rebooting, I then saw the 'Management Tools - Basic' option visible and checked.

cannot show Visual Studio Tools for Application editor in SSIS 2012

When I click on EDIT SCRIPT button for Script Task in SSIS 2012 package,
It does not open the Script editor rather it shows:
"cannot show Visual Studio Tools for Application editor"
Couls not load file or assembly
"Microsoft.visualstudio.tools.applications.core version=10.0.0.0 ...."
system can not find the file assembly specified.
I tried the solutions provided in the following links:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/e5337b0c-7f70-4603-859e-fbc7d0cf1c37
SSIS Script Editor throws an exception
First of all go to Program and Features and check whether you have
"Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications x86 Runtime 3.0"
installed. Most probably you will see this below
"Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications x64 Runtime 3.0"
If it is not installed then you have the same issue that i have.
To resolved this error, I put in my SQL Server installation disk. Then go to redist->VSTA->runtime->x86 and then run VSTA_RT30.msi
The workaround mention in this link solved my issue:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/776248/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-microsoft-visualstudio-tools-applications-core
Both the x86 and x64 runtimes must be installed, currently one or both the runtimes may be missing depending on the order of the SQL Server 2012 installation. As a workaround, check in Control Panel - Programs and determine which of the component is missing (it should be listed as Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications x86 or x64 Runtime 3.0). You can install the component manually from your installation disk or download from the \redist\VSTA\runtime\ folder.
It is year 2021, when searching for the error, this is the top hit. The solution that worked for me with Visual Studio 2019 is to download and install "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2019"
Link:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58317&WT.mc_id=DX_MVP4025064
Interestingly, this is not provided as an option in Visual Studio installer. The above needs to be manually downloaded and installed.
By now, SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 is out. Try updating your release and after that, you might even consider putting the Cumulative Update 1 on top of it.

goto SQL server installer folder and install these msi files
redist/VSTA/designtime/VSTA_DT30msi
redist/VSTA/runtime/x64/VSTA_RT30.msi
redist/VSTA/runtime/x86/VSTA_RT30.msi
