Automatically update vsixmanifest to reference nested VSIX #6

Open sharwell opened 10 years ago

sharwell commented 10 years ago

When the Output Window Services extension is installed in a project via NuGet, it could automatically update the source.extension.vsixmanifest file to reference the nested VSIX file.

Open questions:

What is the syntax for referencing a nested VSIX file in the Version 2 vsixmanifest?

Closed questions:

When a NuGet package is upgraded to a new version, does uninstall.ps1 from the previous version run followed by install.ps1 from the new version?
- Answer: Yes, it does.

I tried to use NuGet's XDT support for this, but even the following trivial transformation results in an exception when I try to install the package.
