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
.vsixfile. 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.
