It will not install under VS Express editions. Also I have express, so can not recompile to add myself. Thanks!

Unfortunately from what I know it is not possible to develop extensions for Express editions. I know it is confusing because clearly some extensions can be installed on Express editions, especially NuGet, however, quoting a Microsoft employee in this forum thread:

Ryan MoldenMicrosoft (MCC, MSFT) Express is not extensible. NuGet is a Microsoft released extension, so it can run in Express. Not allowing extensions in Express is a business decision not a technological one.

I would be happy to add support for Express editions but I have no indication that it is possible. If would definitely look into it if someone could prove me wrong.
