Visual Studio 2019 can't Find vMicro

I had vMicro on VS2017.  Then MS told me my VS2017 was a Pro release and my trial license had expired.  (How I got pro, I don't know.)  Anyway, I uninstalled that and decided to install 2019preview.  Went well.  Installed vMicro. Appeared to go well.  BUT I don't see vMicro on the menu bar as I did in VS2017.  I went to Extension Manager and it shows Arduino IDE for Visual Studio as installed.

I also noticed that VS2019 doesn't show "Project" on the menu bar until a project is opened, so maybe "vMicro" doesn't show until something is opened.  But I can't find a way to open a project using vMicro.

I remember that last time I loaded vMicro through a different path than the Arduino site.  Maybe Arduino IDE isn't vMicro?

Anyway, I need help.

I might add, I did download the Arduino IDE using the link to the version for VS2019RC.

For VS preview and rc releases please keep an eye on the releases section of this forum. The 1903.18 release if for VS2019 Preview 4 and RC.

https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES


fyi: 

VS2019 includes some breaking changes for older IDE's (2012,2017) therefore the release was held back a few days to ensure the smoothest change over.

Only Visual Studio Preview 4 and RC contain the breaking change.

The Arduino IDE version is unrelated to Visual Micro, it is only used to compile or for intellisense when using avr boards and for some libraries (also available in library manager). Regardless of Arduino being installed, Visual Micro should work with the new releaseĀ  Smiley

VS2019 prevents extensions from creating a top level menu, instead Microsoft has moved the vMicro menu onto a new "Extensions" menu. To workaround this there is a new "Micro Menu" tool bar which contains only the vMicro menu button. This gives the same ability as in previous VS versions to easily see the vMicro menu. 

In Visual Studio you should always be able to create projects using File>New>Arduino Project and File>New>Project>C++ or to open an existing Arduino project not previously used in Visual Studio you can use File>Open>Arduino Project.

I couldn't get it to work so I uninstalled the Visual studio 2019 and reinstalled VS2017, then loaded vMicro.  Things working well now.
I'll wait for vs2019 & vMicro to settle before trying again...

Okay you can install multiple ide's side by side, they don't conflict.
