Hi

The vsix is simply a zipped file

Unzip it in a folder as "VSExtension", then enter in the folder and you'll see the file "extension.vsixmanifest", open it with a normal text editor and add the references to the visual studio community edition between the eligible products

      <VisualStudio Version="11.0">
        <Edition>Community</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
      <VisualStudio Version="12.0">
        <Edition>Community</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
      <VisualStudio Version="13.0">
        <Edition>Community</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
      <VisualStudio Version="14.0">
        <Edition>Community</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
      <VisualStudio Version="15.0">
        <Edition>Community</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>

This is the complete code, you can also copy and past it in the extensione.vsixmanifest in place of the current one

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    </Reference>
  </References>
  <Content>
    <VsPackage>VSExtension.pkgdef</VsPackage>
  </Content>
</Vsix>

Now from within the directory, zip again all the files in a new "VSExtension.vsix" (be carefull to include all the files, but NOT the directory)

Double click on the new vsix you just created within your directory... and it's done!

Wait for the installatione, then try it: within cAlgo select the "Edit in Visual Studio" option from the left drop down arrow menu near the name of one of your cBots/Indicators and after a while, it will appear in Visual Studio 2015 Community Identifier

That's all and have a good job!

Hi Paul,

  The link to VSExtension.vsix (90.19 kb) is broken. 

Thanks!
