I'm building a VSIX project and seeing this error message:

VSSDK1311 The vsixmanifest must contain a value for 'PackageManifest:Installation:InstallTarget:ProductArchitecture'.

What do I need to do to fix this?

vsixmanifest visual-studio-extensions visual-studio

Since VS2022 is 64-bit, you must specify the architecture of the target you support.

Where you previously may have written:

  <Installation>
    <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" Version="[16.0,17.0)" />
  </Installation>

You would now write:

  <Installation>
    <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" Version="[17.0,18.0)">
      <ProductArchitecture>amd64</ProductArchitecture>
    </InstallationTarget>
  </Installation>

If your VSIX is configured to target VS2022 as well as earlier versions you may specify that with something resembling:

  <Installation>
    <InstallationTarget Version="[16.0,18.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro">
      <ProductArchitecture>x86</ProductArchitecture>
    </InstallationTarget>
    <InstallationTarget Version="[17.0,18.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro">
      <ProductArchitecture>amd64</ProductArchitecture>
    </InstallationTarget>
  </Installation>
