I downloaded an extension that adds indent guides, but when I try to install it, I get an error saying "this extension cant be installed on any currently installed programs"
The extension is supposed to work on Visual Studio 2010.
Is it because I have VB 2010 Express and not VB 2010 Professional? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me fix this so I can get these very helpful indent guides in VB.
Proper support for extensions require a Community version of Visual Studio which is free like Express. Express supports some types of extensions, as described in this answer by Mark Hall:
The Express SKUs only support installation of extensions that are classified as Templates (or Template Wizards) and Controls.
The Express SKUs do not support tool extensions. Which is anything that doesn't fall into one of the other categories (Template or Control).
VSIX files are marked, via the manifest, as to which applications they are compatible and can be installed.
