Infragistics on VisualStudio Team Services - build

I have moved my local Buildserver to a VSTS Cloud and tried to build the solution.
Now, some projects use Infragistics for UI-Design. I had Infragistics installed on my local buildserver, but now I dont have the ability to install infragistics on to the VSTS-Cloud machine.
How can I get rid of this problem? Does anyone have any experience with Infragistics on VisualStudio TeamServices?
Thank you very much.

Why my Sitecore Explorer does not have "Manage Package" menu

I need help, currently i'm working on how to rollback a package installation (I've made a terrible mistake regarding a Sitecore deployment package), and found a bitter truth about it.
So i just left my hope, and move on into a future precautions act.. i want to analyze any package before i deploy it. I search around and found "Sitecore Rocks Anti Package" could be my "X-Ray Detector".
I'm trying to follow steps on this site "28 Days of Sitecore Rocks" and already tripped at early steps. I found no "Manage Package" Menu on my Sitecore Explorer.
There should be "Manage Package" menu like in that site tutorial.
Please help, i can't proceed further to learn the subject.
Btw, im using Visual Studio 2015 and Sitecore Rocks v 2.0.39.0.
Thanks.
In order to use some of the advanced functionality in Sitecore Rocks you need to ensure that the connection type used is the Hard Rock Web Service and not the Good Old Web Service.
Modify your connection and ensure you are using Hard Rock Web Service:
You should now have the Manage Packages option available allowing you to create anti-packages:
If you are using Sitecore Powershell Extensions module then a script exists to create an anti-package, the benefit is that it can be created on any server and not just instances connected to your Visual Studio (i.e. Production instances).

What is the recommended approach to setup Sitecore 8.1 in Azure VM?

I am new to Sitecore administration. I wanted to setup Sitecore 8.1 in an Azure vm. I have one Azure sql vm and one vm for Sitecore. So I would like to know the best recommended approach to set up Sitecore
using Sitecore web installer
from sitecore zip
using pre defined powershell script (not very much sure about steps)
SIM
Please guide me as I am new to Sitecore administration.
Deb,
I know isn't the version that you were looking for, however you can get the idea in deal with a Sitecore installation and all its prerequistes. Please have a look here: https://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore7/70/installation_guide_sc70-a4.pdf
Based on Sitecore installation guide, I haven't seen a recommendation from them saying "install using EXE" or "install using ZIP". Actually, they show you both! Personally, I would suggest you to go through using ZIP.
Cheers,
Vinicius

Cannot create Win32 Console Application in VS 2013, Windows 8.1

Iam unable to create a new win32 console Application in VS 2013.
To create the console application I went to New Project-->chose win32 console application under visual c++-->changed the name of project and clicked OK.
But nothing happens and New Project dialog blinked and came back again.
I clicked OK again and again and It keeps coming back...
I googled and found nothing helpful.
I checked the logs and found nothing related to this.
Initially I was unable to create a new MVC application just after the installation of VS 2013, and I went through so many answers regarding it and couldn't solve the problem. At last I went to Extensions and Updates option under Tools and noticed that there were two nuget packages installed
1) Nuget Package Manager
2) Nuget Package manager for Visual studio with a blue icon
I uninstalled the second one and then the problem was solved.
Just now I noticed the problem with win32 console application.
Please help..
Thanks to Hans Passant
I started the vs_community.exe from command prompt with /Uninstall/force option.
After completing it I again started vs_community.exe with /Repair option.
That did the trick.
Now everything working perfectly for me.

Sitecore 8 Installation Wizard in Development tools not working

After I installed sitecore 8, looks like I cant access installation wizard on development tools. All I can see is blank popup on all the browsers. I checked the log files and could not find anything related.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Might help anyone with the same problem.
Sitecore is checking for Packages folder in Data Folder and failed. I don't understand why it can't create one(I checked the permissions all good.)Kind of bug in Sitecore 8 rev. 141212.
Once I created Packages folder, it's all good.
This is probably due to mongoDB not being setup properly.

How to package a sharepoint project (Sharepoint server 2013)

I work on a Sharepoint Server 2013 project, I want to know if there is a method to make this project (package) that I can work on any machine (at home)
you must have the sharepoint 2013 foundation or enterprise version installed on your machine. Then you can simple publish the project and in that way you can take your project to your local sharepoint environment.
If you want to take the list and any other columns or anything like that to your local environment then you can back up and restore the Content database in local environment.
Please let me know if this helps or you will require any other details regarding this
Thanks
