QuickVsix is a C# command line program for quickly and non-interactively installing and uninstalling Visual Studio extensions.

The default workflow for installing and uninstalling Visual Studio extensions is by way of a sequence of mouse clicks on interactive install and uninstall dialogs, which costs time and focus relative to the non-interactive command line user experience provided by QuickVsix.exe.

QuickVsix works by running VSIXInstaller.exe and then waiting for VSIXInstaller.exe to complete its extension install, uninstall, or reinstall work.

QuickVsix is a C# command line program for quickly and non-interactively installing and uninstalling Visual Studio extensions.
The default workflow for installing and uninstalling Visual Studio extensions is by way of a sequence of mouse clicks on interactive install and uninstall dialogs, which costs time and focus relative to the non-interactive command line user experience provided by QuickVsix.exe.
QuickVsix works by running VSIXInstaller.exe and then waiting for VSIXInstaller.exe to complete its extension install, uninstall, or reinstall work.
QuickVsix unlocks time savings for Visual Studio extension developers
