8 years ago Regarding targeted version
Those InstallationTarget entries in the vsixmanifest control which versions of Visual Studio the extension will install to (regardless of whether it works for that version or not)
It will install to the target version or greater, so ‘Pro’ is the lowest version for VS 2012 and 2013, but ‘Community’ is the lowest version for VS 2015.
I’ve ignored the free editions of VS before 2015.
The dependencies I meant are the Visual Studio assembly references in the csproj.
By default if you create a VSPackage project in VS 2105 you’ll see references like this:
<Reference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.14.0 ">If you want to support VS 2012 you’ll need to change that to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0. But the second gotcha is that there’s a version 14.0 of Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0 included in VS 2015 (go figure)
So you have to be specific about the version also:
<Reference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a">
<SpecificVersion>True</SpecificVersion>
</Reference>
