MSBuilder.VsixInstaller
On a project that references the Microsoft.VSSDK.BuildTools package, enables installing extra VSIXes to the targetted Visual Studio version and instance by simply declaring them as @(Vsix) items: <ItemGroup> <Vsix Include="MyOtherExtension.vsix" /> </ItemGroup> The items will be installed only if needed so that incremental builds are fast, and only if the current project's $(DeployExtension) is set to 'true'. The installation happens automatically before the DeployVsixExtensionFiles runs, but can also be manually invoked by running the InstallVsix target.
