I have programmed a Visual Studio AddIn on VS 2010. But now I have to run my source code on VS 2012. I have found a thread about this. But my problem is about that on the suggested path, where the folder "extensions" should be, is completely missing!
I don't know how to locate this folder.

thank you

On Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012 Professional, Visual Studio AddIns are stored in this folder

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Addins

When I installed Visual Studio 2012 Professional, the Addins folder was created automatically.

Visual Studio 2012 Express does not support Addins.
