I have VS 2015. What VS do I choose when installing QT Addin 1.2.5?

VS 2015 is not listed.

After it fails to install two files, I think one from 2010 and one from 2013, it crashes here

Hi
Is that not the older one ?
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/vsaddin/
I think this is for 2015
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/vsaddin/qt-vs-tools-msvc2015-2.1.1.vsix

I looked at the file sizes and I thought maybe that one 2015.vsix one is much smaller than the 1.2.4.EXE one so might not have as much?

@samhoppo1
I think the other only works for certain version of visual studio.
the vsix is the new format used.

Why Does the vsix have so much less in it?

@samhoppo1 Why do you care that much about the file size? Did you try to install it and use?
My guess is: vsix is smaller simply because each file only supports one dedicated VS version and not several VS versions.
