Post #4 – Copying VSIX extensions to the Experimental Instance

  • Artikel

When using Visual Studio Extensions (aka VSIXs), sometimes you may want to use those Extensions when debugging in the Experimental Instance of Visual Studio.

However, when installing VSIXs via the Extension Manager or by double clicking on a .vsix file, they are only installed in the main instance.

To copy the extensions, select “Reset the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Experimental Instance” from the Start –> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 SDK –> Tools menu.

Your main instance VSIXs will be copied into a folder for the Experimental Instance and the next time the Experimental Instance is started they will be installed.

Note: They may not be enabled to be sure to check the Extension Manager to make sure the ones you need are Enabled.
