Will/Does Visual Studio 2013 support BizTalk 2013 projects?

Question

In my limited experience with BizTalk it seems that BizTalk projects and Visual Studio version are somewhat locked to each other. For example, you can\'t open a BizTalk 2010

Answer 1

I had a related problem today. I tried to use VS2013 Ultimate to open a BizTalk 2013r2 solution - which should work fine. I received the dreaded Unsupported message. It turned out that the problem was caused by the fact "Developer Tools and SDK" was left unchecked during the BizTalk installation.

To resolve I mounted the BizTalk Iso and ran the setup.exe. I selected Modify Existing Installation then checked the box for "Developer Tools and SDK"
