How to install vsix format extension?

Support Help
1

I am developing a VSCode Extension,
Is it possible to install an extension in vsix format with cursor?

2

Yep, you should be able to drag the .vsix file into the Extensions tab, or you can use the Install from VSIX... button as well.

I also couldn’t find the guide on the view, but I tried dragging the vsix file in directly, and that worked.

@ Mingo-233 You can also drag and drop the .vsix file into the extensions tab.

I don’t know if it worked before, but it doesn’t work that way in today’s version

@truell20 why was this feature disabled? It is a dealbreaker for me to no be able to being my own .vsix extensions

The drag and drop is still here, and is correctly importing vsix files, I just tested a minute ago with 1.2.4.

Drag-and drop won’t work when using remote-ssh.

Actually you can use the command

>install from VSIX
