EPiServer.VsIntegration.Package failing to install in Visual Studio.

Vote:
 

I've been following the training module 'Introduction to Optimizely Education For Developers' and it indicates the folowing requirement for the Episerver CMS Visual Studio Extension ...

Episerver CMS Visual Studio 
Extension 11.7.0.437 or later 
(includes EPiServer.CMS 11.15.1, 
EPiServer.CMS.UI 11.25.0)

I tried finding this in the Visual Studio Marketplace by doing a search on 'EpiServer but it does not exist.

So I instead did a google on it and found it in the market place website.

After downloading the extension I tried opening it with Visual Studio and the installation is failing with this output ...

I'm running Microsoft Studio Community Edition 2022 and the above output looks like it is expecting version 14.0,17.0 which seems to be from about 2017.

The manifest in the package I downloaded is 11.7.0.437.

Please advise on if there is a newer version of this package or if I should be using an older version of MS Visual Studio ??

If neither, please advise on next steps.

Seems that someone on my team ran into this and was required to install 2019 VS version.

Looks like I'm in business now.  This has been solved.
