am looking out for samples where in it helps me to look at how we can achieve to extend VS 2005.

Eg., I want to extend the Solution Explorer, Menus, Open File Dialog, Adding New Project types, extending the Build etc.

Please guide and help me out by pointing the samples if we get as part of installation or

The Extensibility team recently posted a bunch of samples on http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/code/automation/default.aspx

You have lots of resources about extensibility at the "For add-in developers" section of my web site:

Hi Chetan,

I found the samples alright and downloaded them, several times. Each time I tried to install them on VS.Net 2005 Standard (WinXP Pro SP2) I get an error to the effect that a .cab file is corrupt. I tried running directly from the server but I get the same error.

Curiously I went looking to see if anyone else had this problem and couldn't find anyone else who had encountered this problem.

How do I report this to the team who developed the samples

Best Regards
