Reset Productivity Power Tools
If you've uninstalled any of the extensions installed by the Productivity Power Tools 2017, then those extensions won't be installed again automatically.
To reset this behavior go to Tools -> Reset Productivity Power Tools..._
Note: The Productivity Power Tools does not install a page in Tools->Options for enabling and disabling individual Productivity Power Tools. For Visual Studio 2017, we have release all components as separate extensions. So, you can now enable and disable them through Extensions and Updates. Hence, there is no longer a need for the page in Tools->Options.
There are several ways to know if the Productivity Power Tools 2017 is installed and working:
Visual Studio Tools For Office
- You can see it in the Installed section of Extensions and Updates - and it is enabled.
- There is an option on the Tools menu for Reset Productivity Power Tools.
- You should see a box pop up when you first launch VS after installing the extension that will show progress as it downloads and installs all the PPT extensions.
- If step 3 (above) worked, you should see several PPT extensions in the Installed section of the Extensions and Updates dialog.
Troubleshooting:
- If you can't see Productivity Power Tools 2017 in E&U, try reinstalling it.
- If you don't see the Reset option on the Tools menu, check that Productivity Power Tools 2017 is enabled (in E&U).
- If the PPT 2017 installer did not launch when you restarted VS, try clicking the 'Reset Productivity Power Tools...' button in the Tools menu.
- If the individual components of PPT are not installed, check your network settings. To further troubleshoot the installation of individual extensions, try manually installing them.
If all else fails, and you can't get the Productivity Power Tool 2017 installer extension to install all the PPT extensions for you, you can always install them manually (from E&U or by downloading extensions from the Marketplace). This has the same effect as installing them via the bundle installer. You can find links to all the PPT extensions above.
When the new Visual Studio 2010 is not enough in its plain vanilla flavor, developers can turn to a collection of free extensions designed to kick up a notch the development platform. In this regard, Microsoft is offering the Visual Studio 2010 Productivity Power Tools Extensions as a free download through the Visual Studio Gallery on MSDN. An updated version of the Visual Studio 2010 Productivity Power Tools is now live, the second major release of the extensions since their introduction.
“We shipped an update to the VS 2010 Productivity Power Tools which adds some nice new features and enhancements,” revealed Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President, .NET Developer Platform. Of course, developers need to have the Productivity Power Tools installed prior to deploying the update.
“If you already have the VS 2010 Productivity Power Tools installed, you can update it to the latest release by choosing Visual Studio’s “Tools->Extension Manager” menu command. This will bring up the VS 2010 Extension Manager – which allows you to browse and download new extensions. If you click the “Updates” tab on the left-hand side of the dialog it also allows you to see any updates that are available for extensions you already have installed within your IDE. Simply click the “Update” button for the Productivity Power Tools extension and it will download and install an update for it,” Guthrie added.
Microsoft offers an exhaustive list with all the changes to Visual Studio 2010 Productivity Power Tools introduced by the latest update on the VS MSDN Gallery. Via Tools Options Support devs will be able to turn extensions on and off individually; the new Solution Navigator will offer customers the equivalent of the enhanced Solution Explorer; while Quick Access will simplify the searching and execution of common tasks within the Visual Studio IDE. But there are a range of additional enhancements in the update that will make it easier for developers to use Visual Studio 2010.
“If you haven’t installed the free VS 2010 Productivity Power Tools, I highly recommend doing so – I think you’ll find some useful extensions that you’ll like. If you already have last month’s release installed, you can easily update it to this week’s release to take advantage of even more cool features – as well as benefit from bug fixes and performance improvements,” Guthrie said.
