Where are the Visual Studio extensions for Dynamics GP?

Posted on by 75,730

Two weeks ago I installed VS 2019 and added the Microsoft Dynamics GP Item and Projects template. Today I have installed VS 2019 onto another computer and when I go to search for this template it is no where to be found. As per Tim Wappat I have tried going back and forth in the search window but it still does not appear. Has this been taken offline? Is there a way I can transfer it from the computer that does have it?

    Apologies but I didn't see Paul's email until today, notifications on threads is not what it used to be or I need to check my email whitelisting of the forum email address! 

    Anyways, I've turned it around straight away after seeing it... you now have tags.

    Following the compatible version update, I was now able to locate it in Visual Studio's Extensions window and it installed fine to VS Community 16.3.4. There was no need for me to page back and forth to get it to appear either. Thanks Tim!

    However, the VS2019 new project window has changed which causes a small problem.

    As you can see, searching on the project type results in two of each. I have no doubt that two are the C# templates and the other two are the VB templates, but without (apparently) needed new tags (as shown for the Blazor project type), it can't filter properly. Notice in the image that I was filtering on the C# language.

    Not a huge problem as it can be worked around, but I thought you'd want to know. I haven't actually tried creating a project yet though.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Thank you Tim. You are truly one of the best of the best! I will put up a W2019 Server with VS 2019 and test.

    I've just released version 3.1 of the extension, that is now ready to run with all Visual Studio versions (Pro/Community/Enterprise) 2015 -> 2019

    Download via the extensions menu in Visual Studio or from the Visual Studio Marketplace

    I had run into the same issue with VS 2019. There is nothing in VS 2019 that I need so I will stay with VS 2017 for now. Tim, please update when this is corrected.

    I noticed that after posting the reply.

    I will have a look later tonight and update the extension as required, give me a few hours.

    It looks like you were right Tim, thanks!  I can't explain it, but I Ctrl+F5'd a few times and managed to download the VSIX file. Odd as the issue was the same in both Firefox and Chrome, but no matter...

    That said, I launched the file and it doesn't appear to support VS2019 16.3.4. I assume this is simply a dot version number pseudo-issue? I'll see if I can modify the correct config file after lunch.

    Just checked it now, working for me...

    I wonder if this is an issue with your account on Visual Studio Market place? Have you tried clearing cookies and/or another browser? Log out and in?
    I expect so, but worth a go if you have not.

    There are reports in general posts of this being a temporary issue for other people with other extensions:

    I just ran into this problem using VS2019. I then tried to download it directly per Richard's approach, but get the following XML page :

    I am logged in under my live account. I'm not sure what to make of it.
