Visual Studio 2017 support

[vitaliipanchenko]

Could You please add support new version of Visual Studio. Thanks

What issues are you experiencing with VS 2017?

[vitaliipanchenko]

Now is no possibility to install templates pack.

You can fix this by renaming the .vsix file to .zip, and editing the extension.vsixmanifest file to include <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="15.0" />. Recompress all the files to a zip file and rename it as .vsix. It can then be installed without any issue.

As RTM is ready this change can be done in sources

@karmaecrivain94 I unable to use your workaround. VS 2017 is not targeted and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Could you share the entire manifest contents? Thanks

[codewithtyler]

@madskristensen do you have a recommended solution to fix this?

[hamzaahmedzia1]

I've made a quick fix for supporting VS 2017. I could not upload it to the marketplace for a direct link therefore created a public github repo.

Ignore the warning you get at installation time.

This is because it has not been built with the latest VSSDK and does not have a prerequisite section in the manifest. Strangely enough when I added the prerequisite section to the maniest the vsix installer detected it to be an invalid extension ;-)

Till the time Mads Kristensen fixes it properly ... @madskristensen @RandomlyKnighted

Any updates on support for visual studio 2017 ?

[inunotaisho]

@tylerbhughes I want to second visual studio 2017 support but I would like to add the request for Visual Studio 2017 for Mac. It shouldn't be too hard to get working.

[codewithtyler]

Hi everyone, we now have 2017 support through SideWaffle Creator. It will provide support for SideWaffle for 2017+ and this extension will handle anything before that.

@tylerbhughes SideWaffle Creator is only for Project Templates in VS2017? What about Item Templates?

[codewithtyler]

@artchess Please see the comments in ligershark/sidewafflev2#4.

Wait a minute, now it's saying "There is a missing project subtype. Subtype: "{82b43b9b-a64c-4715-b499-d71e9ca2bd60}' is unsupported by installation." when I try to make a Template Pack Project Template.

[codewithtyler]

@someRandomCoder7 can you create an issue at ligershark/sidewafflev2?

[Ombrezz]

Alright.

[GTANAdam]

@someRandomCoder7 I don't know if you had solved this but you have to install the Visual Studio Extensions SDK

[techemayo]

Thanks @hamzaahmedzia1 the fix solved my issue
