Summary

I recently installed VS on my new laptop. I wanted to add the .vsconfig file that represents the necessary components to build the repo. I followed this guide to export it from the installer. Here are the VS workloads I selected:

  • .NET desktop development
  • Desktop development with C++
  • Visual Studio extension development

I did not modify any of the default selections from these workloads. Let me know if all of these aren't necessary.

.vsconfig:33

  • The component ID for LiveShare is named Component.Microsoft.VisualStudio.LiveShare.2022, which is inconsistent with other Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.* entries. Please verify this identifier to ensure the installer recognizes and installs the correct extension.
    "Component.Microsoft.VisualStudio.LiveShare.2022",

.vsconfig:35

  • The GitHub Copilot component ID lacks the Microsoft. prefix and doesn’t follow the naming pattern of other components. Confirm the correct ID so the configuration applies without errors.
    "Component.VisualStudio.GitHub.Copilot",

I don't know if all these individual components are necessary or not, but if not it's probably not worth the effort trying to figure out what the actual minimal set is. So I'd say we can go ahead with this.
