vsixmanifest for all: VS 2010, 2012 and 2013

by

What you have is the version 2 VSIX manifest, which is not compatible with Visual Studio 2010. Later Visual Studio versions respect version 1 of the manifest, so in order to support all 3 Visual Studio versions with a single manifest, you’ll have to convert it to v1.0 manually (and make sure NOT to edit it with VS2012+, otherwise it will be converted back to v2.0).

Something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Vsix xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vsx-schema/2010">
  <Identifier Id="ae98c9e5-8e14-4c92-b45a-c4fd24a49123">
    <Name>MyExtension</Name>
    <Author>whosoever</Author>
    <Version>1.0</Version>
    <Description xml:space="preserve">Your decription.</Description>
    <Locale>1033</Locale>
    <SupportedProducts>
      <VisualStudio Version="10.0">

      </VisualStudio>
      <VisualStudio Version="11.0">
        <Edition>Pro</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
      <VisualStudio Version="12.0">
        <Edition>Pro</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
    </SupportedProducts>
    <SupportedFrameworkRuntimeEdition MinVersion="4.0" />
  </Identifier>
  <Content>
    <VsPackage>|%CurrentProject%;PkgdefProjectOutputGroup|</VsPackage>
    <MefComponent>|%CurrentProject%|</MefComponent>
  </Content>
</Vsix>

You don’t have to specify all product editions (called SKUs), Pro is enough, if, say, Ultimate is installed, it will be displayed instead.
