Remarks

The Vsix manifest file must be named extension.vsixmanifest when residing in a VSIX package. When using the project templates in the Visual Studio SDK, the Vsix manifest is named source.extension.vsixmanifest in the project, and then is built as extension.vsixmanifest in the build output.

Example

The following Vsix manifest installs a MEF component.
