Where to find UnrealVS.vsix?

Apologies in advance for what I’m sure is a stupid question. The documentation at

https://rocket.unrealengine.com/docs/ue4/INT/GettingStarted/Programming/VisualStudioSetup/UnrealVS/index.html

mentions that you can download UnrealVS.vsix from

//depot/UE4/Engine/Extras/UnrealVS/UnrealVS.vsix

Where exactly is this? It’s not anywhere in my Rocket install folder or the FTP site; where is this depot?

Hey Paul,

That extension should have installed with Rocket, do you see it when you check VS?

Best Regards,

Hi Ryan – No, I ended up installing Visual Studio 2012 Pro after I installed Rocket since it wasn’t working smoothly with Visual Studio Express.

I’m just going to reinstall and see if that fixes it …

Nope, that didn’t fix it; UnrealVS is still not installed as far as I can tell.

Hey Paul,

The above documentation is being revised to reflect the current state of Rocket. You can manually do it, the extension can be found in \Rocket\Engine\Extras\VisualStudioDebugging

Best Regards,

Ryan

The only thing in my Rocket / Engine / Extras / VisualStudioDebugging folder is UE4.natvis.

UnrealVS is still a work in progress, and we aren’t quite ready to release it along with Rocket. The add-on is not really very polished yet, and it only has a handful of features so far, but we do have a lot of ideas of things we’d like to do with it in the future. However in its current state I didn’t feel that UnrealVS was ready for release to beta users. Also, the “Express” versions of Visual Studio do not support loading extensions like these – at least not yet. We’ll continue to discuss it, and will let you guys know when it is actually available with Rocket. Meanwhile, we’ll make sure to clarify in the documentation about it’s availability.

Note that the “VisualStudioDebugging” files mentioned by Ryan are included with Rocket and installed by default if you have Visual Studio 2012 installed. Those are a separate sort of thing though.
