Request VSIX install and not an MSI

Open mwpowellhtx opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Some tools download from the marketplace and know how to install themselves. I'm assuming they are VSIX and not an MSI, for example. That would be great.

Since it is an MSI, need to know whether that also installs for all existing Visual Studio versions; i.e. I am currently running 2012, 2013, and 2015; probably 2017 (RC?) to follow that.

Thanks!

Hi Michael. As far as I know, NuBuild works with VS 2012, 2013, and 2015. Unfortunately, because it installs MSBuild base configuration files, it cannot be installed using VSIX.

It has been some time since I have worked on this project or in the .NET ecosystem, but I am happy to merge pull requests for new functionality. You might try pinging some of the users who have submitted previous PRs to see if they are interested in testing/supporting VS 2017.
