Hi everyone,

On my previous post:

http://www.tfsconsulting.com.au/sharepoint-2010-beta-what-can-be-improved-part-2-visual-studio-2010-custom-deployment-steps/

I mentioned about how the deployment step configuration on Sharepoint VS 2010 BETA project template does not allow you to upgrade your solution.

Well, I’ve managed to develop the add-in based on Microsoft’s article. Really, to be honest, I ripped their code completely out of this article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256698(VS.100).aspx

So it’s a full credit to Microsoft. I only did this because MS doesn’t have any download link for that article.

Download it from http://vs2010spupgrade.codeplex.com/.

Below is the screenshot:

As you can see, there is a new deployment step called Upgrade.

Installation Instructions

1. Simply unzip.

2. Double-click on VSIX file to install.

Cheers,

Tommy
