​@EttienneS Hi, your name came up n K2 for VS 2015 package.  😁

If VS 2019 can load the K2 designer extension, the deployment functionality could work?

VS 2015 / 2017 / 2019 are highly compatible for extensions. 

Seems it just needs to change a few references to point to VS 2019 path/registry.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/

change K2 for Visual Studio 2015.xml:

  • Reference 2019 name <AllowedDependency Type="Application" Name="Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019" MatchType="EqualTo" />
  • Path set to Microsoft Visual Studio 16.0

SourceCode.VisualStudio(2015).reg:

  • Reference 16.0 registry.

SourceCode.Workflow.VisualStudio (2015).reg:

  • Reference 16.0 registry.

If anyone tried this and didn’t work, chime in.   Thanks.

Hi ​@PYao 

Yes it should be as simple as that I do not see anything specifically compiled for VS2015 so if you were to tweak the registry keys and install paths to point to the right place then the install would mostly work.

The ResetToolboxes bit is probably going to be the most annoying as you would have to reverse engineer that to set the correct key.

Not something I have ever tried or anybody I know of has tried and obviously not a supported install but it should be possible.

Hope that helps
