I would like to create installers for some of my software packages, so I am attempting to use the Visual Studio Add-On known as Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Installer Projects Extension. However, I am not having much luck. Upon running the installer I get the following message:

Microsoft Visual Studio is required, but it is not installed on this computer. Please install it and retry.

I do not understand why I would get this message, when I indeed have Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Express for Windows Desktop installed on my computer. Here is the window when the issue happens:

  • VS Express Edition do not support extensions. As mentioned above install the Community Edition. Jul 25, 2016 at 13:31
  • Just a quick question, is it legal to deploy apps with community edition?

  • @StevieV - As for the reason, because what your trying to install, requires it. Why question the answer you get?

Arrow pointing to Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Installer Projects

But you should install vs_community file inside VS2015 Community Edition\vs2015.com_enu
