I have created Excel add in in Visual Studio 2017 in C#. My problem is when I create an installer for it setup.msi using Visual Studio 2017 Installer extension it builds with out any problems and I'm able to install on my local machine but when I start up Excel add in is not on the list. When I'm running the code to test from Visual Studio level it is all working and it adds my add in Excel. What am I missing?
I've installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise on my computer with the Installer and there are some optional options like the "Class-Diagram".
I've checked it but it won't show up in my project templates.
Programm language: C#
Version VS 2017: 15.0.26228.9
Version VS Installer: 1.5.30308.1
VS Installer - Class Diagram is checked and already installed (Screenshot)
On the left hand side, we can't find the category "Model Project" like in VS 2015

It seems the 'modelling project' feature is removed from Visual Studio 2017. Reasons are given here https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2016/10/14/uml-designers-have-been-removed-layer-designer-now-supports-live-architectural-analysis/
Have you added the Visual Studio extension development?
Along with Class Designer, you have to include Visual Studio extension development also from the VS2017 installer.
If you have installed all the required things mentioned above and if you are still not seeing the Class Diagram from Solution Explorer , switch to Class View and then you will see the "View Class Diagram" option
I have installed visual studio 2015 completely but I don't have "Console Application (Package)" template project. This must be under web section of Visual C#. But it doesn't.

Do I have to install extra feature to get it ?
I have only a computer with 32 bit based windows and can't run versions of monogame higher than 3.2. To install monogame 3.2 I need visual studio 2013 or 2010 but I have 2015 and have not enough space to install 2013. Is there a way to install the templates of monogame 3.2 on visual studio 2015
First off: you're not getting the new Content Pipeline, so you will have harder time with building content, especially as you can't offload that to XNA either. The templates have nothing too magical, and you could manage with normal projects, just adding the assembly references and the Game class.
Now, to answer the question... Looking at the installer source code, I think the following workaround might work:
Go to your Documents folder. There should already be a folder named Visual Studio 2015.
Create the following folder tree: Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#
Run the installer. You should now be able to install Visual Studio 2013 templates.
Go to the folder you created in step 2. There should now be a folder named MonoGame.
Copy that folder to the Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C# folder.
You should now see the templates in Visual Studio 2015.
After finishing my C# application I had to make an installer. After seeing that the default installer projects are gone, i searched for a replacement.
I found the Visual Studio Installer Projects. I downloaded the file from here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d.
When i restarted Visual Studio, opened my project, clicked "add new project" and here is what I got:
Problem is that I cant find the setup project. I have tried repairing the install. I restarted Visual Studio several times.
My Question:
How can I find the installer project and why it's not working for me.
If I cant make it work, are there any alternatives ? (except InstallShield)
Additional info:
Visual Studio 2013 Community with update 4
Windows 8.1 64-bit
You could try Tools > Extensions and Updates and search for it:
Visual Studio setup projects no longer ship with Visual Studio
However, you can download them here.
Or use a third party library like WiX.
I had the same problem and it turns out that visual studio removed the support for installer projects in 2010.
but still you can download and install it in your version
VS2013
VS2015
VS2017
