Plugin for Visual Studio 2017?

jdent

Hi,
I recall last year there was a plugin for developing Qt programs from within the Visual Studio 2015 IDE. Is there one for Visual Studio 2017? Where can I download it from?

Regards,
Juan Dent

Since vs 2015 is compatible with 2017 (for first time ever)
I was wondering if the 2015 addin will work ?

There's a beta for VS2017 here: qt-vsaddin-msvc2017-2.1.1.

Hi Chris (or anybody who installed the qt plugin to msvs2017),
could you please tell how did you install it actually?
Thanks.

normally just double-click the vsix-file should be enough and VS tries to install it autmatically. But if your file mapping is corrupted you can try to install it manually by:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XXX\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe" "path\to\qt-vsaddin-msvc2017-2.1.1-beta-10.03.2017.vsix"

@raven-worx Thanks a lot! you pointed me to the .... I just have no words to call it... the file mapping is ok. just the browser's brain damaged... (that's a fresh windows installation in Parallels for MacOS so the default browser used...)

@dragon4eg vsix is actually just a zip file. download it and rename it, then visual studio wont have any problems installing it
