I am using JetBrains Rider without having Visual Studio installed.
I have installed Visual Studio Build Tools to compile my code.
The NuGet package manager in Rider still doesn't seem to work.
Is there any way to fix that without installing Visual Studio itself?
Please, check your NuGet sources on "Sources" tab in NuGet tool window. Maybe you have disabled nuget.org feed. On "Sources" you can find [Effective NuGet.Config] option it is current state your feeds for your current project.
I installed the Visual Studio Build Tools 2017 using the link (at bottom under Other Tools and Frameworks) installing both workloads: Visual C++ build tools and Web development build tools. I kept the default folder.
Based on quite a few articles, such as Microsoft Web Application Targets is Missing, I expected to see vs_buildtools.exe in the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin folder, but no. I see MSBuild.exe, as you can see from this screenshot.
Here is a screenshot of the installer.
Really, there are quite a few articles saying the exact same thing: 1, 2, to name only 2.
How do I get vs_buildtools.exe?
Apparently the only way to solve my Microsoft induced Web Application Targets missing problem, as it is no longer in 15.0 is to use this executable and run the vs_buildtools.exe --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.WebBuildTools as the answer specifies. I am also annoyed now that something that should be there is not. Did Microsoft change something in a newer revision of the Build Tools?

You have already got the vs_buildtools.exe.
I installed the Visual Studio Build Tools 2017 using the link (at bottom under Other Tools and Frameworks) installing both workloads
You will notice that the installed file name is vs_buildtools__339506979.1501125082.exe, which include the version info in the name. You can rename it to vs_buildtools.exe, that is what you want.
Update for vs_buildtools.exe:
After use the command:
vs_buildtools.exe --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.WebBuildTools
The WebBuildTools will be installed at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v15.0\WebApplications
Besides, be aware that the comment under the answer:
If you already have downloaded the "Build Tools for Visual Studio
2017" installer
(visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/…), then you can
launch that installer, hit Modify and tick the "Web development build
tasks" workload module checkbox. Then click the Modify button and let
the installer finish.
After a Visual Studio 2017 (RC) installation from scratch, I can't find a standard list of templates. I'm specifically interested in the Console Application (C#) template and the Windows Form (C#) template. I'm pretty sure I'm missing one of the Individual Components. I'm not sure which one is supposed to be installed and I don't want to install all of them.
Please see my list with components installed.
You need to install it by launching the installer.
Click the "Workload" tab* in the upper-left, then check top right ".NET-Desktop Development" and hit install. Note it may modify your installation size (bottom-right), and you can install other Workloads, but you must install ".NET-Desktop Development" at least.
*as seen in comments below, users were not able to achieve the equivalent using the "Individual Components" tab.
If you have installed .NET desktop development and still you can't see the templates, then VS is probably getting the templates from your custom templates folder and not installed.
To fix that, copy the installed templates folder to custom.
This is your "installed" folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates
This is your "custom" folder
C:\Users[your username]\Documents\Visual
Studio\2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates
Typically this happens when you are at the office and you are running VS as an administrator and visual studio is confused how to merge both of them and if you notice they don't have the same folder structure and folder names.. One is CSHARP and the other C#....
I didn't have the same problem when I installed VS 2017 community edition at home though. This happened when I installed visual studio 2017 "enterprise" edition.
I found the path and wrote it in the options
My personal experience was that I had installed the Team Foundation Server client for 2017 first (was using it as a Proof of Concept for our QA team, while I was still using VS2015), then followed it up with Installing Visual Studio 2017 later to begin development.
What I ended up with on my Start Menu was a Visual Studio 2017 and a Visual Studio 2017 (2). The Visual Studio 2017 (2) had all the templates I was missing. Following the steps found in the First answer to this question (which were clear and easy to follow) did not fix my issue. I had thought that launching the client would upgrade to the Development Client, but it did not. I renamed it to Visual Studio Professional, and now have everything I need. Not sure if this happens to anyone else, but it was what happened to me, so I hope this helps someone.
NOTE: this topic is about installation issues with MS project templates.
I came here via a search in Google, I was looking for a missing Template option in Visual Studio 2017 File menu: in VS-2015, it was Export to Template and I used it to add my own standard Project Items.
Meanwhile, I found an answer.. my issue was not related to default templates and it does not need install things. The option Export to Template has been moved to the VS-2017 Project menu !
I had to reinstall .NET desktop development (throught Workload tab), even button was showing: Modify
After that Visual C# selection appeared :)
(And now i can use Console APP Template)
In my case, I had all of the required features, but I had installed the Team Explorer version (accidentally used the wrong installer) before installing Professional.
When running the Team Explorer version, only the Blank Solution option was available.
The Team Explorer EXE was located in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\TeamExplorer\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
Once I launched the correct EXE, Visual Studio started working as expected.
The Professional EXE was located in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
My C++ templates were there all along, it was my C# ones that were missing.
Similar to CSharpie, after trying many modify/re-installs, oddly the following finally worked for me :
- run the installer, but un-select 'Desktop development with C++'.
- allow installer to complete
- run the installer again, and select 'Desktop development with C++'.
- allow installer to complete

This solved my issue, and the reason was I had enterprise edition previously installed and then uninstalled and installed the professional edition. Team Explorer was not modified later when I moved to professional from enterprise edition.
I am new to windows app and I am going to build the sqlite-net extension project to .dll file in order to make the models have the relationship attribute of one-to-many, one-to-one, many-to-many.

I try to build it and it shows some errors. So I right click the project and download the missing packages. When I try to build it again, it shows these errors:
Does anyone successfully bulid it to .dll file or anyone can fix the problems like these?
Many Thanks!
The Integration test projects are MonoTouch projects, that won't open in Visual Studio unless you have Xamarin Business license installed in your PC.
However, the SQLite-Net Extensions project is a standard PCL project and you will be able to compile it from Visual Studio without Xamarin. The problem that you are describing is probably related to not having the SQLite-Net dependency downloaded.
Make sure that you have NuGet Package Manager plugin installed and restore NuGet packages for the project to restore the dependencies and it should work.
You can also download the pre-compiled DLL from the Download page in the project page.
I solved it with changing the build platform. Thx guys!
Does anyone know how to install MonoGame on Mac. I have been looking around for a while and I can't find any guides. I have Mono and MonoDevelop up and running fine, but I cannot figure out how to install MonoGame. Thanks.
In general with MonoGame:
Download the source code off GitHub
Start a new project
Add Existing Project for MonoGame.YourPlatform.csproj and Lidgren.Network.YourPlatform.csproj
Add a reference to MonoGame with your new project
There really isn't anything to "install".
Just to update this post for modern (post MonoDevelop and .SLN,the new SDK structure) times.
The directions for VS Code and Apple Silicon are answered in this question.
Only continue reading on Intel(x64) Macs.
For Visual Studio for Mac setup and instructions:
Install Visual Studio for Mac
Install MonoGame extension for Visual Studio for Mac
Since version 3.8, the packages are NuGet based; simply update the NuGet packages in the references for the latest version.
The new dotnet SDK structure with framework and X64 vs ARM(Apple Silicon) caveats are expanded upon in this [question].
