Cannot edit cBots in Visual Studio
20 Jun 2015, 15:02


Hi all, I am encountering a problem trying to edit/open cBots with Visual Studio. After noticing the feature I downloaded Visual Studio 2015 Community (which was wrong but I didn't know then). Then after clicking on "Edit in Visual Studio" from within cAlgo the installer windows opend but due to the wrong VS version I could not edit the cBot. I downloaded VS Express 2013, deinstalled VS 2015 C an retried "Edit in Visual Studio" but nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled cAlgo, retried "Edit in Visual Studio" which opened a downloadbar for the VSIX installer but again nothing happens! Does anybody have clue what I am missing? Cheers Mikro

Dear Trader,

Currently we do not support Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 editions.  It is in our plans to support these editions too. Supported editions are 2010, 2012, 2013.

You cannot use an express edition of Visual Studio because express editions do not support extensions.

When can we expect Visual Studio 2015 support?

Dear Trader,

We cannot provide you with an ETA. It will be supported in the future.

The VSExtension.vsix file structure, as well as how to edit it, is explained here and it works!

There is also a working copy kindly provided ClickAlgo.com on their site, if you search for it.
