VisualStudio - How to unattended install a 3rd party DLL control?


I'm trying to make a deployment of vs2012,

The extensions are too easy to install because they are in VSIX format so i can call them silently,

The question is how can I install a DLL control in my VS without opening the "choose toolbox items..." menu?

It's posibbly?

Maybe exist a special folder like the snippets folder where you put some snippets and VS automatically recognices the new added snippets?

Or maybe i need to create a VSIX installer for each of my 3rd party DLL controls? Then someone can give me a little info about that?

Thankyou for read

UPDATE: i get this error trying the custom build of toolbox manager:

PD: i'm using win 64 bit, and i've tryed at least all the command combinations for this tool.

Solution

  • I wrote a tutorial article on toolbox control installation in Visual Studio, including VS2012:

    Visual Studio Toolbox Control Integration

    It contains several approaches and compares them so you can choose the one most suitable to you.
