VS2013 Database Project fails to build

Question

After contacting a friend at Microsoft, he suggested repairing the Data Tools install at

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt

And that resolved it.

Thanks Chuck!

I had a similar issue and as mentioned in the accepted answer repairing is the solution. But unfortunately the link did not gave me an exe that says repair/UnInstall. I went ahead and run exe still issue persists.

I resolved it by updating the sql data tools using Extensions and Updates. Following are the steps.

1. Open visual studio.
2. Go to tools menu and click on Extensions and Updates.
3. Under the updates you will find an update for database proj.
4. By clicking it, it will download an exe.
5. When you run the exe it will ask for Repair/UnInstall.
6. Click repair and proceed.
