Visual Commander supports SQL Server Management Studio 2016 (July v13.0.15500.91 and newer releases) and SQL Server Management Studio 17:
SSMS 18 doesn't support .vsix installers, but you can install Visual Commander manually:
1. Unzip VisualCommanderSSMS_26.vsix to the following directory:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell\Extensions\VisualCommanderSSMS
2. Change in the following text the directory to the one used in step 1, save the text as a .reg file and execute:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell\ExtensionManager\EnabledExtensions] "e4b1fd83-b59d-41ca-a21d-19b10230ece5,2.6.0"="C:\\Users\\[your_name]\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\SQL Server Management Studio\\18.0_IsoShell\\Extensions\\VisualCommanderSSMS\\" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell\ExtensionManager\ExtensionTypes] "e4b1fd83-b59d-41ca-a21d-19b10230ece5,2.6.0"="Tool" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell\ExtensionManager\ExtensionAutoUpdateEnrollment] "e4b1fd83-b59d-41ca-a21d-19b10230ece5,2.6.0"="1"
3. You may also need to install Visual Studio 2015 Isolated Shell.
As there is no extension manager in SSMS, you can use the following command to uninstall Visual Commander:
C#
References: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager
public class C : VisualCommanderExt.ICommand { public void Run(EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package package) { System.IServiceProvider serviceProvider = package as System.IServiceProvider; Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.IVsExtensionManager em = (Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.IVsExtensionManager)serviceProvider.GetService( typeof(Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.SVsExtensionManager)); Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.IInstalledExtension vcmd = em.GetInstalledExtension("e4b1fd83-b59d-41ca-a21d-19b10230ece5"); em.Uninstall(vcmd); System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(vcmd.Header.Name + " has been uninstalled."); } }
