How to install the Visual Studio Add-in in Studio 2015 Community Edition?

[jdent]

Hi,

i have Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 2 and I just downloaded Qt 5.6 open source. I see that there is supposed to be an add-in for Studio but I cannot find it. How is it installed/configured?

Thanks,
Juan

There's no add-in for VS2015. It's in the works but not yet here.

There's a third party extension Qt5Package with similar functionality. You can download it from here or look it up directly from VS's extensions window.

Microsoft removed support for Add-Ins in Visual Studio 2015: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f55666ce-e299-44b7-863a-1f5546ca89ce/addins-removed-in-next-visual-studio-2015-formerly-vs-14?forum=vsx That means the Qt Company will have to convert the Add-In to an Extension. I'm not sure how long this will take.
