title: What version of VS do I need to deploy to BizTalk 2013 R2 on a SQL Server 2012 database?
body: <p>I am developing with BizTalk for the first time. I have created an extremely basic project in VS2103 which builds but fails to deploy with the output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>error DEPLOY: The database or the database version is incompatible with the installed version of this product.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The BizTalk installation is BizTalk 2013 R2 on a SQL Server 2012 SP3 database.</p>
  
  <p>My project is using VS2013 because I understand that VS2105 can't be used to target BizTalk 2013.</p>
  
  <p>There is no further information in the output window. I have a valid login on the database and can perform CRUD operations on it through VS2013.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248697.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This page</a> suggests I need "SQL Server <em>Development</em> Tools" - am I right in assuming this means "SQL Server <em>Data</em> Tools" because that's all I seem to get when I search for it.</p>
  
  <p>Even a pointer to where I can find a more more informative error would be useful (perhaps unsurprisingly changing the build verbosity only affects the build output when what I'd like is a more informative deploy output!).</p>
