VsixUtil

Build status

This is a command line tool for managing VSIX installations. It allows for install, uninstall and listing of extensions. It supports 2010 - 2013 (and Dev14).

  • Install: vsixutil [/install] extensionPath [/version number] [/rootSuffix name]
  • Uninstall: vsixutil /uninstall identifier [/version number] [/rootSuffix name]
  • List installed: vsixutil /list [filter]

This is a replacement for vsixInstaller which is shipped with Visual Studio. That tool is asynchronous which makes in unsuitable for scripting and fast turn around dogfooding
