Remarks
Although this API supports the Extension Manager infrastructure, we recommend that you do not use it because it is subject to change.
IInstallableExtension inherits from IExtension, which contains the metadata from the VSIX manifest for the package. Therefore, a fully populated IInstallableExtension object includes all the information that is required to install the extension.
