Unable to install VSIX in VS 2012 & Windows 10

I am trying to install RXX(VSIX Isntaller) in windows 10 & VS 2012. But it gives error as below

The extension 'Razor(cshtml) pre-processor requires a version of the .NET framework that is not installed.

It is working properly in Win 7 ( .NET Framework 4.5 ). When I tried to install .NET framework 4.5 in Win 10, its no allowing to do the same.

Can anyone suggest anything for this?

Thanks

The only way to install the extension was executing the VSIXInstaller.exe as administrator and passing the VSIX file as parameters. To do that, follow this procedure:

  1. Open a CMD window as Administrator

  2. Go to Common, IDE folder of the VS 2015 installation. In my case:

CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE

  1. Execute the installer passing the VSIX file as parameter. In my case:

VSIXInstaller.exe c:\AppBuilder.vsix

Finally, the installer will start the installation!

I hope it helps you

I expect the VSIX manifest to reference a specific .NET framework version and doesn't specify a range. Since .NET 4.6 replaces 4.5 it may cause these type of issues.

Extract the VSIX using your favorite extraction tool (it's a zip file), edit the manifest file by removing or updating the dependencies specified and zip it back up.
