visual studio 2015 - How to disable "npm install" in VS2015 -


in vs2015, opening web project/solution uses node packages (e.g. gulpfile.js) cause vs automatically run "npm install" , install packages. vs2015 comes old version of npm (1.4.19), doesn't "flat" install of package dependencies, causes paths created on 260 characters. painful when happens every time visual studio opened. i've found several workarounds (including http://jameschambers.com/2015/09/upgrading-npm-in-visual-studio-2015/), ideally there setting somewhere disable "auto npm install" or that, either can't find setting or doesn't exist.

you can literally "hide" web tools visual studio:

  1. under tools menu select "options..."
  2. go "projects , solutions" -> "external web tools"
  3. if want make visual studio use globally installed npm - remove checkboxes items starting $(devenvdir).
  4. if want disable web tools in vs: uncheck all.
