How to add ArcGIS Pro SDK Templates in Visual Studio 2015

[MaximilianGlas]

The templates for ArcGIS Pro are only supported and available for Visual Studio 2013 by default.

As I wanted to use Visual Studio 2015, I'd like to have the templates also available in Visual Studio 2015.

This could be realized with a few steps:

1. download the template vsix-installer: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1dd407cd-bfe7-44d8-9d29-90e0d0db8699
2. open with 7zip
3. edit the extension.vsixmanifest file in root folder
4. search for
   

   <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" Version="[12.0]" />

5. add an additional line after this:
   

   <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" Version="[14.0]" />

6. save, exit, install
