Ways to install your own extension

 In visual studio Extension Manager,  shows extensions from the Marketplace. But you can install your own .vsix extension manually — here’s how:

🛠️ Ways to install your own extension

  • : After you build your extension project, Visual Studio produces a .vsix file. Just double‑click it, and the Visual Studio Installer will open to install it.

  • : When debugging your extension, Visual Studio launches a special “Experimental Instance” where your extension is auto‑installed for testing.

  • : You can use VSIXInstaller.exe (included with Visual Studio) to install your extension manually. Example:

                    VSIXInstaller.exe MyExtension.vsix
  • : In newer Visual Studio versions, go to Extensions → Manage Extensions → Install from VSIX… and select your file.
