How to Install Versioning Controlled Build AddIn Manually
NOTE: these files can be used as an add-in on Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012/2013
Before placing new version, it is highly recommended to uninstall previous
version of add-in, confirming to remove configuration files.
1. Copy EXEs and DLLs to a destination folder. Recommended folders are:
a. if all users of the computer are supposed to use the addIn:
C:\Program Files\Versioning Controlled Build
or (on 64-bit OS):
C:\Program Files (86)\Versioning Controlled Build
b. if only current user is supposed to use the addin:
%LOACALAPPDATA%\Versioning Controlled Build
e.g.
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Versioning Controlled Build
Please note that this folder is hidden, but can easily be accessed by
pasting %LOCALAPPDATA% into search text box that opens when you click
Start button on Windows 7
2. Modify VCB.AddIn file (you can use any plain text editor) so that <Assembly>
tag in <Addin> section contains the correct path to AddinImplementation.VS8.dll
file.
You can optionally remove <HostApplication> sections for Visual Studio
versions you won't use:
<Version>12.0</Version> applies to Visual Studio 2013
<Version>11.0</Version> applies to Visual Studio 2012
<Version>10.0</Version> applies to Visual Studio 2010
<Version>9.0</Version> applies to Visual Studio 2008
3. Copy modified VCB.AddIn file into one of the following folders (you may
need to create the folder):
a. if all users are supposed to use the addin:
%VSCOMMONAPPDATA%\AddIns
e.g. for Visual Studio 2010:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Addins
or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Addins
For other versions of Visual Studio you need to copy add-in file
to corresponding folders too: just replace "10.0" in the above path
with "11.0" for VS 2012 or "12.0" for Visual Studio 2013.
b. if only current user is supposed to use the addin:
%VSAPPDATA%\AddIns
e.g. for Visual Studio 2010:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\AddIns"
or
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\AddIns
For other versions of Visual Studio you need to copy add-in file
to corresponding folders too: just replace "10.0" in the above path
with "11.0" for VS 2012 or "12.0" for Visual Studio 2013.
NOTE: Please read the article at http://www.mztools.com/articles/2008/MZ2008001.aspx
for more detailed explanation and other possible options for add-in file placement.
4. Start Visual Studio, go to Tools menu, Add-in Manager... and check
Versioning Controlled Build to activate it. If you check the Startup option
in the second column, VCB will be activated on Visual Studio start.
After few seconds the Add-in Manager dialog is closed, VCB commands
(menu and toolbar) should appear.
5. Note that the tool creates two configuration files in the following folder:
%APPDATA%\Versioning Controlled Build
e.g.
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Versioning Controlled Build
These files can be deleted when tool is removed.
