.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / April 2005Licence required?? How to get that licence?
I downloaded and installed VSIP for VS 2003, but nothing changed in VS: No new project types, no help. While startup of VS 2003 there is a message in the startup screen: "VSIP licence required". I searched the whole Vsip web site, but didn't find any clue about how to get such a licence. Can somebody show me the right link? Mirko You already have the license by simply installing the VSIP SDKs. It used to be the case that you had to pay a hefty fee to get the license, but Microsoft made it free sometime back. That message is basically there to let you know you are running a sort of 'developer's edition' of Visual Studio, one in which all packages are allowed to load, regardless of whether they are cryptographically signed or not. And you should see some new project types; have you looked under Extensibility Projects when you create a new project? There should be a couple of new entries in there. Also, you should install the VSIP Extras if you haven't already done so. -Parag >I downloaded and installed VSIP for VS 2003, but nothing changed in VS: No > new project types, no help.

Now, what I need to accomplish is simply adding my own icon in the startup screen of VS. All other tasks are done by my VS Add-in (which I'm not going to port to a package). Do you know how to do that? Mirko You can get something on the Help...About dialog pretty much for free when you use the VsPackage wizard. Lookup 'InstalledProductRegistrationAttribute' and also this URL in the Beta2 help: ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.VSIP.v80/dv_vsenvsdk/html/4828bca9-d92e-4e91-836f-abaa58b21d5f.htm > Thanks for your reply.

But I recently installed an add-in of another vendor. The icon of that vendor appears together with the icons of the VS languages in the splash screen, which is really cool. They do it with a little package, which exists just to show the icon. I think, it's worth some effort to show our icon at the splash screen too. I compiled a package with my own icon and started VS with /RootSuffix Exp. But it doesn't show my icon in the splash screen. Thanks again for answering. > You can get something on the Help...About dialog pretty much for free when > you use the VsPackage wizard.
