Title: VSIX Installer: Installation failed Post by KulaGGin on Aug 8th, 2019 at 11:12am
When I open Visual.Micro.Arduino.Studio_1908_5_0.vsix file, it shows this window:

I have Visual Studio installed 100% and I installed other extensions: I'm on Windows 10 x64. Let me know if you need more info about my system. Is there any way to fix this? |

I think your vsixinstaller.exe is pointing to an old version of vsiaul studio.
Please install from inside the IDE using tools>extensions and updates>online in vs2017 or extensions>extension manager>online in vs2019 When you install from inside the IDE microsoft use the vsixinstaller.exe that is installed with the IDE. They have made a mess of the installer alongside other things :) |

I don't have any old versions on this system. Only 2017 and 2019. Never had any older versions of VS than these on this system. Tim@Visual Micro wrote on Aug 8th, 2019 at 11:15am:
Ok. But isn't it going to be a problem with other extensions? How do I install vsix extensions using the vsix installer that goes with the IDE? What vsix installer does it use when I double click on .vsix files? |
Title: Re: VSIX Installer: Installation failed Post by Visual Micro on Aug 8th, 2019 at 11:24am
The vsix files are just zip files. Microsoft is responsible for everything.
Please read my previous message more carefully. Here is it again Quote:

Yes, thanks, I read it. I tried it and it works in Visual Studio 2017. It looks like it installs vsix from inside the IDE just fine. But I also have Atmel Studio and for whatever reason it doesn't want to connect to online extensions(In Extensions & Updates window) there. So I can't install it for Atmel Studio this way. Do you know of a way to manually install this vsix using IDE's vsix installer? Something like to provide manually downloaded Visual.Micro.Arduino.Studio_1908_5_0.vsix as a command line argument to vsixinstaller.exe in Atmel Studio(And VS2017 and 2019 if you can't connect to Extensions & Updates)? But I don't know how it all works, it's just an idea from what you told me about vsixinstaller.exe which gets installed with IDE. And it can take me hours to figure out how to install that vsix using vsixinstaller.exe from the installed IDE. |

The atmel studio version is different. Atmel have their own gallery and project system. Again please install from inside atmel studio ide.
Atmel studio is VS2015, this is the complication with other visxinstaller.exe versions. |

Thank you for quick answers. Well, I figured out how to solve the problem with vsix installations. It was so simple: just press RMB on .vsix file > open with > choose another app > Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector. Made a video for people that will find this thread in the future through google or forum search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEPIvzBw6H4 1+ hour to solve a problem that can be fixed in 3 seconds. > Microsoft |

That's great thanks. Doing a repair on vx2019 woud also have applied the latest vsixinstaller again. I suspect you will hit the same issue if you update or reinstall atmel studio after visual studio. I also suspect that all extensions for vs 2017 or above would have failed to install and that you installed your other vs extensions before you lates updated or installed atmel studio.
I have to say that atmel studio is a difficult IDE and that is why we don't plug it. |
