Unable to import .rptproj into VS2015 - says "Unsupported". Last SSDT installed

I am trying to convert some old VS2005 projects to VS2015 Enterprise. When I open a report project (.rptproj), VS says the project is not supported.

unsupported

This version of Visual Studio cannot open the following projects. Project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.

Every search I have done is to install SSDT (apparently formerly known as SSDT-BI)

I already have SSDT installed. When I download / install here ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx ), it gives me recovery / uninstall options. I tried the repair, although I did not suspect that it was broken. There are no updates for Tools > Extensions and Updates... in VS.

Where do I go next? Every solution I find says the same thing, but I already have SSDT.

Any information appreciated.

Support for BI projects for Visual Studio 2015 is available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/mt186501

Two versions of SSDT are available for Visual Studio 2015. Only the Preview version (available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt429383.aspx ) contains BI project types.

SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2015 (aka SSDT)

Open Visual Studio 2015 and choose Tools> Extensions and Updates. SQL Server tool updates appear in the list of updates.

Visual Studio 2015 comes with SSDT, so you keep getting recovery screens - look at the "Preview SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2015" - this is an old version
