Versioning Controlled Build

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.
