VS2015 requires more links than previous versions?
We recently installed Visual Studio 2015 RTM and immediately noticed a strange issue with our solutions. Most (if not all) of our solutions are not built because we are "missing" references (which we don't need in Visual Studio 2013!).
Our previous links didn't stop working or disappeared in the solution, we just need more links than before. The original errors are mostly related to our own infrastructure, but also external dlls like Infragistics.
If we add these additional links, everything will be fine, but there must be a reason for that? We cannot find any documentation for this behavior and are very overwhelmed.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior and / or is there a logical explanation for this?
Thank!
Thomas

While I admit I haven't used Infragistics for a long time, I remember that it had an installer asking you to specify which versions of Visual Studio would be installed.
The way Visual Studio works is that all components must be installed in Visual Studio, otherwise they won't be able to find them, which I suspect here is your Visual Studio 2015 has no idea about Infragistics, that's why it can't "find" all of these assembly references.
Just reinstall Infragistics, don't forget to select Visual Studio 2015 somewhere during installation. You may need a newer version of Infragistics for this, I suggest checking out their site.
