I've got a WIX installation project for my application. As part of my solution I have a VSIX extension, that I want to install on the customer's Visual Studio.

What I don't know, is how to get WIX to automatically initiate the VSIX importer.

I tried following the advice on MSDN (How to: Prepare Extensions for Windows Installer Deployment as well as Installing a VSIX as part of a Larger installation), to no avail. Neither included guidance for WIX projects.

Any help will be appreciated.

WiX v3.6 supports the VsixPackage element to directly manage VSIX packages.

This can be done through a custom action which launches VSIXInstaller.exe with the appropriate command line. There is a discussion about this here: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/VSIX-after-installation-td4975318.html
