I have created a ".vsix" package . I have updated the manifest file with "InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="[15.0,)"

The command used to install the ".vsix" file is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe" /a /q "C:\ccrc.vsix"

But still the extension gets installed for vs2017.

Any way to disable the extension for vs2017, but keep it enabled for vs2019

You explicitly enabled VS 2017 which is version 15. VS 2019 is version 16. Change your manifest to:

"InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="[16.0,)"

  • Changed the manifest to "InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="[16.0,)" Updated the ".vsix" file and installed using the command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe" /a /q "C:\ccrc.vsix" But still the extension gets reflected in the VS2017 – Kamlesh Feb 19 '20 at 14:04
  • Did you uninstall the extension from VS 2017 from the previous installation before you installed the new VSIX? – Peter Macej Feb 19 '20 at 14:09
  • I got the issue fixed. In addition to manifest file, there are two json files "catalog.json" and "manifest.json". In the two json files, I updated the 15.0 to 16.0, created a new ".vsix" file and installed it. – Kamlesh Feb 19 '20 at 14:52
