Visual Studio 2013 Prof. not recognizing plugin #39

Closed splatterb0y closed 9 years ago

splatterb0y commented 9 years ago

I have Momentics and Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 Prof. installed on my drive H:, running Windows 8.1.

I can't find any hints that Visual Studio is recognizing the plugin after I installed it.

Don't you see the BlackBerry top-menu next to Tools? Nor, the plugin listed in Tools->Extensions and Updates like on an image below?

New projects might be hidden under 'Other Languages' if your Visual Studio is configured for C# developer.

The installation path on H drive should be irrelevant, as VSIX packages are extracted into correct location by Visual Studio itself.

There is no additional menu item, the plugin is not shown unter "Extensions and Updates" and the templates are not there too. I'm using a 64-Bit Version of Windows by the way.

I scanned my hard drives C and H for a VSIX file but there is none. After tinkering around with that I decided to build the plugin from source and install it with the batch file, no success too.

Thats the second PC I try to install this but no luck sadly. :(

Hmm... I am using two machines Win8.1-x64 and VS2012/VS2013 for development without any problems. You can always try to download it from here and retry.

VSIX is just an installable package (zip). If you use the build script the VSIX is expected at _BuildResults/VS2013/ folder. When build directly using VS, it will be placed under _srcvs2013/Package/bin/Debug. When you install it, it gets automatically extracted and placed under:

<user_home_folder>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<vs_version>\Extensions\<random_name>\

Try to search for 'BlackBerry.Package.dll' there.

I figured it out. Visual Studio 2013 [https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx] and Visual Studio 2013 SDK [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40758] are indeed two different things, that was the point I wasn't aware off. I have both installed now and the plugin is recognised.

Thanks for your time and support!
