by

Take a look at this article.

In summary from above article:

  • 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.
