Can't install WebEssentials 2013 on Visual Studio 2013 Community

[aivascu]

I used to have WebEssentials 2013 on my Visual Sudio 2013 Community but the SASS compilation sudennly stopped working. I assumed it was a WE2013 issue so I decided to reinstall. Now I'm getting the "This extension is not installable on any currently installed products" message. Here is the installation log:

I don't know what the issue was but I uninstalled both versions of VS (2013 Community and 2015 Preview) and installed a clean copy of the VS2013 Community and then the Web Essentials 2013 after that everything worked as usual.

OK... so not everything went back to normal. The SASS stylesheets are still not compiling.

I am now seeing this issue. I am a new user. I used the visual studio selector to try and install this. It worked for 2012 however I am trying to use 2013.

@jatin4pals completely uninstalling both VS 2013 and 2015 and reinstalling them fixed the problem for me. I would guess it's some compatibility issue between versions. Do you also have multiple VS IDEs with WebEssentials installed?
