Can't integrate Visual Studio 2013 with an add-in

I have an add-in that works with Visual Studio 2008, 2010 and 2012. All I have to do is to copy some files to c:\users\username\documents\Addins folder, and then check the relevant line in VS Add-in Manager.

I've just installed Visual Studio 2013, and I'm trying to integrate it with that add-in. It does not work. I googled and it says something about changes to add-ins... new VS packages... I lost it.... Just want to make it work with no major changes. Do you know how to?

Thank you

  • Make sure your .addin file lists support for VS 2013:

    <HostApplication> <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name> <Version>12.0</Version> </HostApplication>

    And the directory to copy files is usually documents\Visual Studio 2013\Addins.
