Advanced_Visualizer_Scenarios: How to create a VSIX installer for it this Debugger Visualiser?

[PolarGoose]

The Advanced_Visualizer_Scenarios example shows how to create a Debugger Visualizer.

The Readme file says that the plugin DLL needs to be copied to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers folder.

Following this example, I managed to create my own Debugger Visualiser.
However, I don't know how to package it into a VSIX installer so that I can publish it on the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vs

The problem is that VSIX deploys the binaries to the folder like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\VSExtensions\rybgvyx5.mow
I can't find a way how to tell the installer to deploy my dll to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers

Could you please help me?

I have found another example that shows a workaround:
VSX-Samples.VSIXDebuggerVisualizer
How it works:

• Implementation: VSIX/VSIXPackage.cs Initialize() method
• They create a dummy VS extension that, when loaded, copies the DebuggerVisualizer.dll to the My Documents\<VisualStudioVersion>\Visualizers folder

The problem is that when the extension is removed, the DebuggerVisualizer.dll remains installed.
