I have troubles with .vsix installation.
If I launch the .vsix from the explorer, instead of suggesting me to install the package, I get the same ouput as Vsixintaller.exe /? (it displays the command line usage).
I also tried to run the following command line :
VSIXInstaller.exe /skuname:Pro “fullpathto\NuGet.Tools.vsix”
Same output (command line usage is displayed).
What can be wrong ?
I’m suspecting a wrong registry registration, but I couldn’t find the source of the problem.
Here is what I have in my registry :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix] @=”Microsoft Visual
Studio Extension”[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix\DefaultIcon]
@=”C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\MSEnv\VSFileHandler.dll,-221″[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix\Shell\Open\Command]
@=”\”C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\MSEnv\VSLauncher.exe\” \”%1\””[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.vsix] “Content Type”=”application/vsix”
@=”VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix”[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.vsix\OpenWithProgids]
“VisualStudio.Launcher.vsix”=””
Any idea ?
PS: my computer is running W2K8 R2 x64, and I use VS 2010 Pro.
I cannot use Visual Studio integrated extension manager because of a proxy server not working with the gallery (don’t know why)
Oh … finally found the issue.
VSix Installer does not seems to be able to install from a network share.
With local copies of vsix, it worked. Strange.
