    Hi Ke,

    You'll need to add a "source.extension.vsixmanifest" file to your project if you want it to be set up properly for debugging in VS 2010 Beta 2. There are a few more steps as well which you can find detailed in the following doc topic:

    Thanks,

    thanks, but i already did that and had that error. my ext file wasn't found though it's there.
    so i created an empty integrated shell from scratch (which is healthy) and moved my code bit by bit and it worked.
    the msdn isn't always suitable for all cases, btw the doc has error:
    <Name><Project Name> - Project GUID> </Name>

    Thanks!
    Ke

    Try setting the Build Action of source.extension.vsixmanifest to "None" in the properties window.
