Install a previous version of an extension

Question

Wednesday, February 11, 2015 3:48 PM

I've recently updated an extension from visual studio but this update contains some bugs. 

Is it possible to install the previous of the extension? If so, where can I find the file (vsix if I recall) ?

The extension is hosted on visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com

Thanks

Hi leoz01,

If possible, please post this issue or start a discussion here:

Hi leoz01,

>>I've recently updated an extension from visual studio but this update contains some bugs. 

Could you share us more information about this issue? Which VS extension tool did you download and install in your side? Could you share us the download link?

>>Is it possible to install the previous of the extension? If so, where can I find the file (vsix if I recall) ?

The real issue would be related to the real extension tool in your side, for example, some tools require the specific VS version, if you use the old version, it would use different VS version.

My suggestion is that you would post this issue to the VS gallery site where you download the extension tool, so you could get more information from the extension tool writer. I remember that you could click "Q AND A" in the link you download the extension tool in the VS gallery site, and then start a discussion there.

Of course, if you could share me the real extension tool you used, maybe I could help you find more informaiton.

Best Regards,

Jack

The extension is RazorGenerator

>>Could you share us the download link?

https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1f6ec6ff-e89b-4c47-8e79-d2d68df894ec

But I've downloaded it and updated it within VS 2013. Both previous version and new version are compatible with VS 2013.

For this particular extension, the code is available on codeplex (even if I've no idea how to build the extension from the source code right now). However, more generally, I would like to know if there is a way to go back to a previous version of an extension because today it's RazorGenerator but maybe tomorrow I may have the same issue with another extension.

Thanks anyway for your answer

Hi leoz01,

>>https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1f6ec6ff-e89b-4c47-8e79-d2d68df894ec

So it is the new version, am I right? If so, could you get the link for the old version? Or you mean that you want to get the old version.

If you want to get it, maybe this link would be helpful for you.

http://razorgenerator.codeplex.com/

But if you want to remove the old version, Generally we could move the add-in under Extensions and Updates window, you could open it under TOOLS->Extensions and Updates in VS IDE.

You would get the "uninstall" option if you have installed it.

I currently have the new version (1.7) and I'd like to retrieve back the previous version (1.6.4) but I'm unable to find the link (even by modifying https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1f6ec6ff-e89b-4c47-8e79-d2d68df894ec/file/37912/34/RazorGenerator.vsix the "34" part with previous numbers).

On their codeplex I'm able to find the commit of the 1.6.4 but as I've said before I dont know how to build it. 

More generally, this extension has a codeplex and open sources but this might not be the case for all extensions. Thus I guess that if I would have the same issue with another extension, which may have not sources published, I won't be able to go back to the previous version.
