VS Build Button Inactive

I have VS (Visual Micro) 2015 v. 14.0.25431.01 Update 3 (supposed to be) running on Windows 10 Home.  I am trying to build an Arduino sketch but the build button is inactive (greyed-out).

There is an error message displayed:
"We were unable to automatically populate your Visual Studio Team Services accounts.   
The following error was encountered: TF400813: Resource not available for anonymous access. Client authentication required."

How do I get rolling?
Thanks

The error is not connected to visual micro and can be ignored.

Visual micro build will disable if a valid arduino project is not being edited.

A valid arduino project is one where the folder, project and an .ino all have the same name such as Sketch1.

Did you install C++ for VS 2015? It's an option in the Visual Studio install.

Make sure you have the project open with code open then show screen shot of ide with build menu displayed

Everything worked okay until the day of the first post in this thread - so I assume I did.  If I did not, how do I install it now?

My problem is that the project won't open  Undecided

BTW: other projects open okay - it's just this one being recalcitrant.  Cry

In the folder now are the INO and the SLN files and four folders (.vs, _vm, debug and  quarantine (which is where I put the other stuff)).  I open VS/VCM and click on the project as listed and get the same result - 'There are no usable controls in this group.'

What project? I asked you to delete and recreate.

Maybe you are confused with the wrong solution.

Please delete the .sln and the vcxproj and then reopen using the instructions I have given above (File>Open>Arduino Project>.ino)

This is a visual studio message and it normally refers to c# projects. C++ and arduino projects do not use "controls"

Delete all files expect your  source code and then use File>Open>Arduino Project>.Ino

I suspect you have saved a c# windows projects or some other non standard c++ project into the solution. I am guessing because no one else has this issue.

It's the 'Arduino Project' step I missed.  As usual  Undecided solution right under my nose.

Thanks
