NAV2015 and Visual Studio - can't get it linked/working, please help...

technique

I have NAV2015 installed with build 8.00.42951 and have installed visual studio community 2015 (dev edition I think) from the web, downloaded it free of charge from MS, when I design a report and go to View, Layout I get the following message....

"An error occurred when opening the report designer". A supported version of visual studio could not be found.

I have seen this question asked in the past and can't for the life of me remember the solution....

You have the wrong version of Visual Studio installed, try installing 2013 version instead...

2015 Community Edition should be fine for NAV15.
You just need to be sure to check "SQL Server Data Tools" (-> Or something similar like that) when you install it.

You need to install Visual studio 2013 to work with NAV 2015 even with NAV 2016 as well. You can use Visual studio 2015 with NAV 2016 CU 1 onwards.
