Can I export and import Visual Studio 2010-extensions? -


I am installing Visual Studio 2010 on another computer and would like to give it the same extension as the old installation. If possible, it would be better to import files or similar packages. The settings can be managed in a way that is very useful, but I was not able to achieve the same functionality of the extension.

TIA

Yes, this is possible. You have two options.

First of all, you can do this on a per-user basis (for extensions you have installed through Extension Manager or by double-clicking on VSIX) For this, you:

  1. Copy the % localappdata% \ microsoft \ visualstudio \ 10.0 \ extension to the same machine on the new machine.
  2. Open the VS on the new machine, go to the extension manager, and enable all extensions By default, VS disables the extensions that are visible in that directory but it is not kept there.

The second option extension is % ProgramFiles (x86)% \ Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 \ Common 7 \ IDE Extension Inverted There is no need to do that, but the downside is that you will not be able to update / remove from VS.
