How to upgrade Service Fabric Tools to 1.6?

I previously had Service Fabric SDK and tools 5.4/2.4 installed. I used the downloader directly from Service Fabric's "Prepare your development environment" page and successfully installed "Microsoft Azure Service Fabric SDK and Tools - 2.6.210 (VS2015)". However I can no longer load my application. Visual Studio gives an error that the project has a higher version "1.6" but I only have "Microsoft Azure Service Fabric Visual Studio Tools 1.4" installed. This partly makes sense because another team member recently upgraded the branch after having a hard drive failure and doing a clean install of everything from scratch. Is there any way to install version 1.6 of the Visual Studio 2015 tools?

TLDR: Uninstall first.

I belive the installer for "Microsoft Azure Service Fabric SDK and Tools - 2.6.210 (VS2015)" is only able to upgrade 2 of the 3 things it installs. Looking at control panel I see these three things listed with different dates.

  • Microsoft Azure Service Fabric (new version)
  • Microsoft Azure Service Fabric SDK (new version)
  • Microsoft Azure Service Fabric Tools for Visual Studio 2015 (old version)

I assumed that these 3 things were installed by "Microsoft Azure Service Fabric SDK and Tools - 2.6.210 (VS2015)" so I uninstalled them and ran the web platform installer again. It did infact install all 3 and they now have the expected versions.
