# Downloads/builds
## Visual Studio Extension
**Release**
Download the latest version of the Visual Studio extension (for both 3.5, 4.0 and SQLite) from [Visual Studio MarketPlace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ErikEJ.SQLServerCompactSQLiteToolbox)
Or just install from Tools, Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio! 
**Daily build**
You can download the daily build from [VSIX Gallery](https://www.vsixgallery.com/extension/41521019-e4c7-480c-8ea8-fc4a2c6f50aa).
You can also automatically get the [latest build of the Master branch directly in Visual Studio](https://github.com/ErikEJ/SqlCeToolbox/wiki/Subscribing-to-latest-%22daily%22-build)
If you need the Visual Studio 2010 extension, please contact me, and I can provide a link!
## SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 21
Once installed, you find the extension under the View menu in SSMS, and from the context menu of a database in Object Explorer.
**Daily build**
You can download the daily build of the **SSMS 21** extension from [VSIX Gallery](https://www.vsixgallery.com/extension/d6c77c32-fe4b-4f6d-ad5d-f7b755212760)
Make sure to "Unblock" the downloaded file before proceeding!
### **Installing the SSMS 21 extension**
Since SSMS extensions are unsupported, you must to manually install this extension version (at least until I or someone else decides to create an installer)
From an administrator command prompt:
Create a folder called `SqlCeToolbox` in the `C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 21\Preview\Common7\IDE\Extensions` folder.
Copy the extension.vsix that you downloaded from VSIX Gallery to the new folder `C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 21\Preview\Common7\IDE\Extensions\SqlCeToolbox`.
Unzip the extension.vsix to the new folder. For example: `"C:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe" e extension.vsix -y`
You should now have 36 items in the SqlCeToolbox folder, and the extension is "installed".
