No option for VsixContent in Build Action property for extension.vsixmanifest

I'm trying to create an entity framework designer extension and following the example from Entity Framework 4 in Action. The book provides an example that is very similar to this one. Note the "Note" under step 6 where he says to set the Build Action to VsixContent. Well I don't have VsixContent as an option. Anybody have any thoughts as to why this may be?

Thanks

Edit: It's worth noting that the vsix file isn't being generated. Edit: I reinstalled VS2010 SP1 SDK and rebooted. I now see the option. However, the vsix file still isn't being generated.

  • The most up-to-date information I've found on creating extensions for the entity framework designer is this blog post: Entity Framework Starter Kit alternative. Hope that helps.
