votes

I had Visual Studio 2015 CTP 4 installed and now CTP6 - In both cases it was missing Javascript support.

  • Not showing syntax highlighting for .js file

  • Intellisense not working for .js files

Also when i go to tools/options/Text Editor - Javascript language section is missing. See image and its comparison with VS2013.

To expand on what @user3810312 said...

  1. If you installed to another drive, copy your C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Studio 14.0 folder on top of your install.
  2. Open the Visual Studio Command prompt as an administrator (right-click run as Administrator)
  3. Navigate to the directory where VS 2015 is installed
  4. Run devenv /setup
  5. Run devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates

I had Intellisense the next time I booted up Visual Studio 2015. Worked like a charm.
