VSIX installer not compatible with VS2017 and VS2019

I'm using the following extension.vsixmanifest file to create my vsix package:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PackageManifest Version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vsx-schema/2011" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vsx-schema-design/2011">

    <Identity Id="774e58ba-f1b9-40a7-b676-834fa2c220fe" Version="1.0" Language="en-US" Publisher="Me" />
    <DisplayName>MyProduct</DisplayName>
    <Description xml:space="preserve">Description of my product</Description>
    <Icon>App.ico</Icon>
  </Metadata>
  <Installation AllUsers="true">
    <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="[11.0, 17.0)" />
    <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" Version="[11.0, 17.0)" />
    <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise" Version="[11.0, 17.0)"/>
  </Installation>
  <Dependencies>
    <Dependency Id="Microsoft.Framework.NDP" DisplayName="Microsoft .NET Framework" Version="[4.5,)" />
  </Dependencies>
</PackageManifest>

When I try to install targeting Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019, I'm getting the following message:

Someone knows how could I address this issue?

Solution

  • You need <Prerequisites> section in the manifest:

    At a minimum, all extensions should specify the Visual Studio core editor component as a prerequisite.
