问题
is it possible to deploy my debug visualizer with the new extension system in visual studio 2010? I want to publish it on the online gallery and allow to manage it via the extension manager.
The visualizer assembly must be copied to "My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Visualizers"
回答1:
It's not possible:
Extension Manager/VSIX doesn't support placing files in the user's documents location, so this isn't possible.
See here.

It's not possible via a VSIX, but you can publish MSIs to the Visual Studio Extension Gallery. There are no restrictions on what the MSI can do.
