SharePoint 2010 project incompatible in Visual Studio 2015

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 (Professional). But when I open SharePoint 2010 project on VS 2015, it's showing project is incompatible.

Could you please tell any solution or idea to load the project in VS 2015?

Your project is not loading because Microsoft Office Developer Tools is not installed on your machine. You can easily modify your visual studio 2015 by following steps:

  1. Run Visual Studio 2015 Setup File
  2. Click on modify

  1. Find the “Microsoft Office Developer Tools” and select it.

  1. Finally click on Update.

After completing the setup open your project.

When you install VS2015, you do not install the mandatory Office Development Tools for Visual Studio 2015.

Once, you have downloaded and installed those. (Around 78MB) your SharePoint projects should, once again, load up without any errors.

Direct Link to the latest version:
