Plugin fails to install

The plugin fails to install on my system where both VS2013 and VS2022 are installed:

It looks like this project has been abandoned. I have found a link from Microsoft about what needs to be done in order to install this plugin on VS2022 (looks like VS2019 and earlier were 32bit and VS2022 is 64bit; that is without reading the whole post): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/migration/update-visual-studio-extension?view=vs-2022#extensions-without-running-code

I might create a fork of this and walk through the steps to see if I can get it working again later, as I also need this for a project. If I get it working I will report back.

@dingetje I found a fork of this project where someone has done the work already: https://github.com/h1day/OpenCppCoveragePlugin/releases/tag/for-vs2022

Thanks you @h1day

Hmmm...while that version install just fine for VS2022, it fails to detect VS2013

@dingetje You should be able to install the official version of the Plugin for VS 2013 and the unofficial for VS 2023. I am curious through why are you stuck using VS 2013? You might be able to get away with locking down the VC toolset used in your .sln configuration. This forces VS to use a specific version of C++ compiler and Visual C++ libraries. If you are using VCPKG this will also need to be applied to your packages by the use of a triplet.
