Installing extensions in the last few versions of Visual Studio seems easy. However, as far as I understand, they are only installed for the user running the program. How can an administrator install an extension system-wide so that it is available to all users in Visual Studio? I'm aware that a small portion of extensions are provided as installers that install the extensions for all users, however, most extensions seem to be provided as VSIX files. Sergey Vlasov VSIXInstaller.exe has the /admin switch that should install an extension for all users. You can to find and download the needed

We have a Visual Studio extension, currently installed with MSI, since we need to perform certain tasks after the installation (ngen, registering certain COM servers, etc). In the end of the installation, we run devenv.exe /setup (more specifically, devenv.exe /setup /nosetupvstemplates to make it a bit faster) to register the extension in Visual Studio 2012 and above (in 2010 this step was not required, since VS2010 would rebuild the extensions cache on every startup). We're currently looking to move to a partial VSIX installation, but there are certain issues: We have a certain folder

I'm sure this is a common problem, but I can't find much info about it. Problem I have a work computer, a home computer, a surface, and maybe some Azure VMs that i'd like my visual studio 2013 extensions synced across them. I seem to have to refresh/wipe a computer fairly often, and re-installing all the extensions I like to use is sort of a pain. I initally thought the new VS Profiles would do this, but apparently they only sync themes/general settings. Attempted/Outdated Solutions There used to be an extenstion that apparently did this Extension Sync But that looks like it's only for VS 2010

I'm trying to figure out where the Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools settings are stored. I recently moved to a new instance of visual studio and I've lost all of my Power Tools regex tab coloring settings. They are clearly not part of the normal VS2010 settings file, as I exported and imported this already. Any help would be great! It's just stored in the registry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 It seems the regexes are under ...\DialogPage\Microsoft.DocWellBehavior.Options.ColorCodingOptions 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11087469/visual-studio-productivity

I would like to run a script after files with certain extensions are saved in visual studio. I am wondering where the event handler for saving a file is located in the Visual Studio SDK API. Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of API documentation for visual studio extensions. I have found the Visual Studio SDK Reference but some direction or sample examples would be helpful. I want to create partial designer files that are usually generated when the project is built (Mono for Android Project), my files will have temporary values, but are only intended to enable intellisense

we are working on a VSPackage in a team, using Visual Studio 2012 and TFS. The extension works fine on the computer used to create it (through a wizard). On another computer, Visual Studio says that "a project with output type of class library cannot be started directly" when we attempt to run it (with F5). The output of the project is indeed class library, and pressing F5 on the first machine starts Experimental Instance of Visual Studio with the extension loaded and working. By looking at "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0Exp\Extensions" on the second computer, we see that the

I'm using a Visual Studio Private Gallery to publish a VSIX internal to my company. My VSIX shows up in the "Online" section of "Extensions and Updates" in Visual Studio 2012 and I can install it from there: However, once it's installed, I can't figure out how to update my extension in a way that makes it show up in the "Updates" section of that same dialog box, nor can I figure out how to make Visual Studio notify me that an update is available. I've tried various combinations of the following: Increasing the version number in the VSIX itself and in the atom.xml Changing the updated tag
