Deploy VSIX via MSI

[nithin_ka]

I need to deploy my VSIX via a MSI. How do I do this? I figured out that i have to run "vsixinstaller.exe myvsix.vsix". How do I do this in the Setup Project? Is there any other way?

Hello,

You will need to create a exe custom action to achieve the required behavior.

Create a exe custom action,schedule it appropriately to run vsixinstaller.exe and pass the file path as a command line arguement to the vsixinstaller.exe.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
