I am trying to modify a VS add-in, this addin has multiple projects. The addin project itself, some class librarys that it uses an an user interface project.

When I try to debug I get the error "A project with the output type of class library cannot be started directly." Since all projects essentially have the same output type, I am not sure what to do. I tried making sure the startup project is the actual vs addin project, and I still get the same errors. I have never worked with an add-in before so I figure I am probably missing an important step here. I am using vs 2010, and the addin targets that aswell.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try to specify Start external program property of Debug section of the project properties? Try to set a full path to Visual Studio exe (something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe")
