I am trying to install the Lync 2013 SDK on Visual studio 2015, but I get an error saying "MSVS2010 SP1 or higher not found. Go here to download and install"

I've looked up the issue on the web, and the closest thing to a solution is installing a cumulative update, but that was for VS2013, nor can I find any Place to actually download the file.

What do I have to do to complete the Lync 2013 SDK setup?

To install the SDK, you can fake that you have an earlier version of Visual Studio. At least, that seemed to work for me.

What I did was export the registry entries at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Setup\vs, searched and replaced VisualStudio\14.0 with VisualStudio\12.0 and imported those registry entries again.

That allowed me to install the SDK and I subsequently removed those imported entries again. Please make sure (using regedit) that you are not overwriting any existing entries of course.

    Also see this [link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/35934759/552448) Use Universal Extractor or a similar tool to unpack the SDK kit, then use the appropriate MSI. – Edgar Aug 19 '16 at 08:15
