如何使用脚本或类似工具将外部工具添加到 Visual Studio?

How can I add an external tool to Visual Studio with a script or similar?

我们想为我们的开发人员将一些外部工具部署到 Visual Studio。有没有一种方法可以通过脚本或类似的方式将其自动化,或者他们都应该手动完成吗?

对于 Visual Studio 2013,外部工具在

的注册表中进行管理

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio.0\External Tools

您应该能够编写注册表脚本来添加您需要的内容。请确保在任何更新之前备份注册表。

有点晚了,但我在寻找同样的东西时偶然发现了这个问题,最后写了一个批处理文件来标识新的可用工具编号。

设置所需的 VS 版本以逗号分隔(适用于 VS 2015 - 14.0,VS 2017 使用私有注册表 - 参见 ),以及文件开头的工具参数。

@echo off
echo.

echo Registering tool for VS %1

echo.

GOTO :EOF




:GETTOOLCOUNT
set ToolCount=0
set RegQueryOutput=

rem Tests if registry path exists, returning 1 if not
reg query %1 /f ToolNumKeys /v > nul 2>&1

IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL%==0 exit /b %ToolCount%

rem Gets tool count from reg query output

for /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%E in ("%RegQueryOutput%") do set ToolCount=%%E
set ToolCount=%ToolCount:0x=%

exit /b %ToolCount%

可以在 "ToolOpt" 中进行或运算的标志如下(从 here 中提取):

#define TOOLOPT_ISAPPGUI      0x01
#define TOOLOPT_CLOSEONEXIT   0x02
#define TOOLOPT_PROMPTFORARGS 0x04
#define TOOLOPT_USEOUTPUTWIN  0x08
#define TOOLOPT_SAVEALLDOCS   0x10
#define TOOLOPT_USETASKLIST   0x20
#define TOOLOPT_UNICODE       0x40
