Step # 2:

Follow the wizard and install .vsix file for 2019/2017 or any version to enable D365 extension for F&O.

1yHello Shayan, Thanks for sharing the info. So, I'm new on this and have an error trying to start VS2019 after .vsix execution. I reviewed the log file and found this: Have you had these types of problems? I restart the VS but it happens again Thanks

1yThank you Shayan. I tried this with a V10.0.37 Service update and v10.0.38 preview, however VS2022 is not recognized. Do you know anything about support for VS2022 ? It should solve the debugging issues so I am really looking forward to it
