ZenCoding is not working in Visual Studio 2017 community edition - visual-studio-2017

I installed web essentials 2017 after downloading it from the Marketplace Link-https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.WebExtensionPack2017 . Then installed it after closing Visual studio and tried ZenCoding in a razor page. puffff tab doesn't work.
I don't have ReSharper

After going through a lot of blogs, a few suggested the same solution, that we need to follow the installation steps
Install Web Essentials
Install ZenCoding
Then try ZenCoding, if it doesn't work uninstall both i.e. Web Essentials & ZenCoding and follow set 1 & 2.
This worked for me.

Why is the ability to publish not available in VS 2017 on new surface pro

Just setup new surface pro. Moved from Laptop. I installed VS 2017 (even tried 2019) and loaded project from old laptop. Made changes and went to Publish new install and getting 'The publish components are not available. You need to reinstall Visual Studio to publish your application.' under publish tab. Program will build and can run the application from IDE.
Had to save project and publish using old laptop. I searched the internet and seen many posts about this issue but no solutions.
I have uninstalled VS 2017 and reinstalled. Have tried community version and pro version and same issue.
Hopefully someone has seen this and actually found a way to correct issue.
I noticed that my old laptop also had visual studio 2015 installed. I went ahead and installed that on new surface and now the ability to publish is available in vs 2017

Azure SDK is missing on VS 2017 RC

After installing the new Visual Studio 2017 RC, I gave a problem with the Azure SDK.
The error is as follows:
WAT080: Failed to locate the Microsoft Azure SDK. Please make sure the
Microsoft Azure SDK v2.9 is installed
When installing, I completely selected all the components provided by the installer. I already tried to reinstall and repair but nothing works.
Any ideas?

Having trouble installing Azure SDK 2.9.1 on VS 15 Preview 4

When I try installing Azure SDK 2.9.1 for VS 15 Prev 4, I get the following error message:
You must enable Visual Studio Web Development Feature in Visual Studio VS "15" Preview before you can install this product.
I do have all boxes checked under "Web development" section in the installation options of VS 15 Prev 4.
Looking for any ideas how to resolve or troubleshoot this issue.
EDIT:
Perhaps this is related to the fact that Azure tooling didn't make it to VS 15 Prev 4 according to this blog post.
as per: https://www.visualstudio.com/news/releasenotes/vs15-relnotes#knownissues
Azure SDK for .Net cannot be installed with Visual Studio "15" Preview 4
Issue:
If you try to install the Azure SDK for .Net from the Web Platform Installer, you will get an error saying that you need to install the Web Tools Extensions and the Azure SDK won't install.
Workaround:
The Azure SDK for .Net is supported on Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2015, and Visual Studio "15" Preview 3. Please use one of those versions to run the Azure SDK for .Net.

AWS Explorer not present in VS 2012 after installing AWS Toolkit

My set up is VS 2012 Web Developer Express on Win 7.
After installing AWS Toolkit for .Net 1.5, I cant find AWS Explorer in VIEW menu of VS 2012, but I can in VS 2010 Shell(which got installed with VS 2012).
Other points:
I installed the Toolkit while VS 2012 was still running. So I thought that could be a problem and I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but with no luck.
Looked at answers/suggestions to this question but that doesnt solve my problem.
How should I get about it? Does AWS Toolkit install on Web Developer Express at all?
The licensing on the Express editions of Visual Studio unfortunately does not permit installation of 3rd party plugins. The toolkit needs an edition of 'standard' or higher.

no metro style templates in VS2012 ultimate on windows 8

I have a VM with windows 8 x64 bit and I installed VS2012 ultimate from microsoft webiste. It prompted me for the developer license - I clicked ok. It asked me to signin to microsoft account. I created one and signed it and it worked. but when I try to create new project, I didnt see any metro style app templates.
I tried uninstall and install again but no progress.
please help. I dont see the metro style folder in project templates \csharp.
when I downloaded http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=247147 it went close, I saw the metro style folder in templates but the installation threw error at the end - iis8 install error and vs did not open either.
What was previously referred to as a "metro" template, is now the "Windows Store App" template.
