To compliment a smaller - but powerful - initial feature set, installing additional workloads and components on-demand is supported for both end users and package developers.\n\nPackage developers can install their VSIX extensions for Visual Studio using this bootstrapper to find the latest version of _VSIXInstaller.exe_ and install their extension(s). This may be preferable for extensions that support Visual Studio 2017 or newer than installing extensions in Windows Installer _.msi_ packages, since MSIs cannot run concurrently in separate processes.\n\nOther deployments may also benefit since they no longer have to find where _VSIXInstaller.exe_ is installed. The command line passed to _VSIXBootstrapper.exe_ is passed through to _VSIXInstaller.exe_.\n\nSee our [samples](https://github.com/Microsoft/vsixbootstrapper/wiki/Samples) for ideas how to use _VSIXBootstrapper.exe_.\n\n## Feedback\n\nTo file issues or suggestions, please use the [Issues][] page for this project on GitHub.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE.txt).\n\n## Code of Conduct\n\nThis project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/).
