Do certain VS versions need to align with certain Dynamics GP versions to create an add-in?
Stated another way, can I use VS 2015 to create an add-in for any version of Dynamics GP?

Hi Chad
You can install templates for older versions of GP on later Visual Studio versions.
Have a look at Mariano's blog:

I guess I am confused about what installation media contains templates for which versions of Visual Studio. I've installed the SDK for GP 2013 and 2015. I have VS 2012 and 2015 on my system and I only have a new project template available in 2012 which creates a reference to v12.0 of the DLLs.
Also, I have tried installing the SDK from the GP 2016 media where 1) doing a Run as administrator on the VSToolsSDK.exe file does nothing and 2) right-clicking and choosing Install on the .msi file gives a message stating "Another version of this product is already installed".

GP 2016 media + Current installed versions: https://www.screencast.com/t/Eougz4wtUqF
My goal is to create add-ins for GP 2015 (v14.0 of the DLLs, yes?) and for GP 2016 (v16.0 of the DLLs, yes?) and understand, once everything is installed properly, which version of Visual Studio I need to utilize in order to do that.
Hi Chad
You should really update references and recompile with the appropriate VSTools for each version.
If you can get it to work that is just lucky.
