Web Essentials 2017 not showing up in VS 2017 - visual-studio-2017

I've installed Web Essentials 2017. When I open Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, it shows as being an installed extension, and "Reset Web Essentials" shows on the tools menu, but there are no settings that I can see. Shouldn't a settings dialog box be available somewhere?
Also, I thought if I create a .less file, open it, then save it, .css and .min.css files should immediately show up below the less file. That doesn't happen.
Additionally, the Web Essentials toolbar doesn't appear in Edge when I run a website from within Visual Studio. Hitting Ctrl doesn't make it appear.
What's going on here? Looks like Web essentials didn't install correctly and isn't working.

Clicking Tools->Reset Web Essentials fixed it. It looks like that just reinstalls it. Although I had already uninstalled and reinstalled, this worked.
There still doesn't appear to be an overall Web Essentials settings dialog box under tools. It appears that since it was broken up into individual components rather than one huge plugin, each plugin has its own little popup menu now, and a few of them show up when you right click on the Project.

According to this link it was removed for few reasons. To fix it you have to download the chrome extension and also download the Browser Link Inspector

I had the same issue with extension downloaded from the web.
So i installed it from the marketplace and it works just fine.

In Visual Studio 2017 - Build > Publish Website has stopped working

I have a web forms project in Visual Studio 2017 which I have been successfully updating and publishing for a number of years. Today, after doing a mass search/replace to update references to HTTP to HTTPS where maybe 100+ files updated, the Build > Publish Website has stopped working.
"Build" and "Rebuild" still seems to work fine, but when I click Build > Publish Website, simply nothing happens. Nothing appears in the output and no errors. Same if I right-click on the website in solution explorer and choose the Publish option there.
I have another website project in VS2017 and fortunately that one still works, so the issue seems to be limited to this particular solution.
Does anyone have any ideas?

VS2017 Web Publish Preview - unable to exclude files

When publishing a web application in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise I can do a preview on the files that are changed by clicking the preview link. The window comes up and I can uncheck files I dont want BUT, there is only a cancel button, and I am not able to update the file list.
There use to be the ability to click Publish from that view to only update the selected files but now that is no longer the case.
Is there an alternative "tools" way in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise to publish and exclude certain files from being updated for example the web.config?
I don't have an alternative tool however according to the forums this has been patched and will be deployed in the next public release (15.3).
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/26373/publish-preview-not-allowing-selective-publish-of.html
I've been getting around this by copying the files that I don't want and replacing them back after I publish.
I can confirm that this has now been fixed as of the latest update 15.3 which was released this week

WSO2 ESB Tutorial Issue

I just want know if somebody here already tried this tutorial:
https://docs.wso2.com/display/ESB490/Sending+a+Simple+Message+Through+the+ESB
I followed the instructions strictly but after I deployed my SampleCApp Composite Application project to carbon 4.4 based server(wso2esb-5.0.0), the SimpleStockQuoteProxy is nowhere to be located in the management console.
I hope you can help me with this especially those who have encountered this issue. I want to know, how did you fix this?
Thank you in advance.
What kind of OS are you using? If you are using Windows, unfortunately, it doesn't work. At least I haven't found a way to make it work through the Developer Studio.
But you can login into the management console, then in the Main tab, Carbon Applications, Add and upload your exported .car file. Refresh the List of Carbon Applications a few times until you see it there or until it shows the red message that the uploaded Carbon Application is faulty. You can click on the message and remove the faulty application, if this happens.
You can export the file by right-clicking on the Composite Application Project in the Developer studio and selecting Export Composite Application Project.

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.

Live Edit does not work in my WebStorm 5.0

Live Edit does not work in my WebStorm 5.0, and I have installed jb.crx for webstorm.
I have try these steps.
menu "view" -> select "Live Edit"
menu "view" -> select "Open In Browser"
when I changing my html file, but nothing happens in chrome browser.
Could you help me, thanks in advance!
Make sure that the path to the browser is correct (seems ironic but my chrome is installed in \program files so it was a problem)
Make sure, that the extension is installed in chrome - webstorm has a wiki for this. One special thing to remember is to allow the extension access to local files
Finally, it only worked for me after restarting both browser and webstorm
Hope that helps :)
Make sure you install the JetBrains IDE Chrome extension from the Chrome Store :

You should also configure Debug Configuration like described in http://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2013/09/live-edit-in-phpstorm/
