I am trying to create Sharepoint 2010 solution in Visual Studio 2013. I only have SP 2010 installed on this machine. In Visual Studio 2012, I have the SP 2010 templates, but I don't have them in VS 2013. When I try to create an empty Sharepoint solution, it tells me I don't have Sharepoint 2013 installed.
Any thoughts?
VS 2013 only supports creating SharePoint 2013 solutions. You must stick with VS2012 to create Sharepoing 2010 solutions. You can open SharePoint 2010 solutions in VS 2013. This does have to do with having each version of SharePoint installed on your machine to properly test with.
Here is a link to the VS 2013 compatibility matrix:
