Installation of AnkhSVN Visual Studio 2019

Question

I can not Install AnkhSVN -Subversion Support for Visual Studio 2019,

I have tried to Install It, It says Version is Invalid for VS2019

I use VS2019 Professional

Answer 1

The latest AnkhSVN version is not compatible with Visual Studio 2019 (and the project, unfortunately, seems dead).

A possible solution is to edit manually the files stored in the vsix file (it's a zip file with a different extension).

The file to edit are:

• extension.vsixmanifest
  Change the occurance of [15.0,16.0) to [15.0,17.0)
  Change the prerequisite in this way:
  

• catalog.json
  search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)"

• manifest.json
  search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)" as the catalog.json

After these changes it's possible to install the extension in VS2019 but still open a warning shown by VS related an incompatibility of the load process (AnkhSVN use a synchronous load, VS2019 want an async load).
