That's by design. VSIXInstaller is unreliable as an MSI custom action because VSIXs can trigger the installation of VS components that require installing MSI packages. You can't nest installs, so it fails. We decided to not continue supporting it back in the VS2017 days. |

OK. That didn't occur to me. I removed the VS_VSIX_INSTALLER_PATH property setting. I believe the other properties for VS2026 are still applicable. |
