Wix Toolset Visual Studio 2022 Extension fails installation at Visual Studio 2022 (ARM 64-bit) - Preview #6811

Wix toolset 3.14 isn't working too with VS2022 17.3 Preview ARM64. The VS2022 Wix Extension seems to install correctly but is not shown under installed extensions. Wix projects are shown correctly in the Solution Explorer window.

When I use the latest 3.14 wix toolset [3.14.0.5721], Wix successfully builds my MSI files on Windows 11 ARM64 on a M1 macbook Air (Parallels) with VS2022 17.3.0 Preview 2.0 ARM64. |
|
Yes, even for me on my Windows 11 machine with VS 17.2 installation fails, anyone has any clue how to resolve this? |

FireGiant (a Visual Studio partner) was sent a bit of information from the Visual Studio team about the expectations for extensions in VS ARM64:
At this point, there is no additional information about supporting Visual Studio ARM64 in an extension. |
|
After installing the latest Wix VS2022 extension 1.0.0.20 and running devenv /safemode, the extenstion is showing as installed. |
|
We'll keep this issue around until when Microsoft indicates extensions are supported on ARM64. |
|
Extension support for ARM64 was released a few days ago: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/now-introducing-arm64-support-for-vs-extensions/ |

VS2022 17.5.0 preview 2 ARM64 and VS2022 17.4.3 ARM64 only accept arm64 extensions. When I try to install latest votive2022.vsix I get: |

Here is a arm64 version of Votive 2022 which installs correctly under ARM64 Visual Studio 17.4.3 and 17.5.0 preview 2. |

@fobrs - thanks for your installer!! FYI, I don't have an ARM64 system, only normal X86 64-bit system, but I could never get past the following install issue with the official I read all the closed issues, I have the latest VS, tried all the work arounds, etc. but nothing worked. I've been using the WiX installer with VS for years with no issues, this was a showstopper for me. So, I figured I would try yours -- why not, nothing else was working. Amazingly, it installed!! Interestingly it also "basically" worked - just would not show the settings dialog from right-click properties on the WiX project - but everything would build, etc. Then I thought, since I got "something" installed, why not try uninstalling your ARM64 version, then reinstalling the official. There was some error during uninstall of the ARM64 version, but it continued and finished - then normal I have no idea why this works?! However, perhaps this can give someone knowledgeable about WiX / vsix installers a clue as to what the "real issue" is here? Regardless, sharing here for the next hapless, struggling soul in case this solution - using your ARM64 build as an intermediate step - works for them too... |

I expect the private build works because it is not signed. The official build is signed. The VsixInstaller seems to have issues installing signed VSIXes in some situations. Someone that reproduces those issues could work with the Visual Studio team to help root cause the underlying install issue. |
|
You're right. It is not signed. When can we expect an official signed version that works with Visual Studio ARM64? |
I may not be a good candidate since the official |

Hi, is there any update regarding a release for Visual Studio ARM64? |
|
ARM64 is supported in WiX v4 and HeatWave for VS2022. |
|
Hi, Is there any chance to see ARM64 support for WIX 3.x in VS2022 any soon ? |
