I've tried what you have suggested, by modifying the .AddIn xml files but unfortunately I haven't gotten anything to show up in VS2013 Preview yet. I've done a little extra research and it seems that this may not be so easy to accomplish.


Microsoft are now saying:


"Add-ins are deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 Preview. Now, to extend Visual Studio, create a VSPackage. You can still use existing add-ins, but you can't create new ones. We recommend that you convert add-ins to VSPackages if you want to modify or distribute them."

I had a quick look on your codeplex site, but I couldn't seem to find the full source code for the Visual Micro addin, just the source for the setup project and precompiled binaries. I guess the source isn't publicly available.


I'm more than happy to help/test anything ou can come up with for VS2013 Preview.

Oh  Thanks ignore my reply to your email.

I just tested it with the config changes I emailed you and it works okay, create, open, compile, upload, serial etc. 

I notice one error pops up which can be ignored. I will try to add 2013 to the std. installer and plug the error msg. 

For anyone else who wants to use 2013, there is a release due over the next few days please follow us on codeplex and/or the forum.

Thanks
