Same here. Is there a trick to get this to work in 2012?

Hi

Here is a simple workaround:

- Change the extension of the .vsix file to .zip and open it
- Extract the "extension.vsixmanifest" and open it with a text editor
- Add the bold lines and save the file
  ...
  <SupportedProducts>
    <VisualStudio Version="10.0">
      <Edition>Ultimate</Edition>
      <Edition>Premium</Edition>
      <Edition>Pro</Edition>
      <Edition>VBExpress</Edition>
      <Edition>VCSExpress</Edition>
    </VisualStudio>
    <VisualStudio Version="11.0">
      <Edition>Ultimate</Edition>
      <Edition>Premium</Edition>
      <Edition>Pro</Edition>
      <Edition>VBExpress</Edition>
      <Edition>VCSExpress</Edition>
    </VisualStudio>
  </SupportedProducts>
  ...

- Move the adapted file back to the zip archive (override or delete the old file)

- Change the extension of the template file back to .vsix

Now you can install the template by double clicking.

You find the modified templates as an attachment.

The VSIX installer claims that "This extension is already installed to all applicable products." when i open Visual studio i don't see the template. I have visual studio 2010 and 2012 installed. I already have the template working under 2010 just not 2012.....

Any thoughts?

Never mind. McNeel updated the template on the 25th of October:

It now works with anything from visual studio 2010 to visual studio 2013 :-) Thanks to whoever did that!

Hi Dieter

I'm glad it was useful :)
If you find any problems or spot anything that does not work, please let me know.

Thanks,
