Add-ins for Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) are installed and uninstalled through the console. But before they can be installed, they have to be packaged. An add-in package is just a ZIP file that contains the add-in manifest and any other required files, such as .NET assemblies referenced by the manifest. To update add-ins, just repackage them with the latest files, and re-install the package.

Tip
If your add-in package contains an assembly that you want to debug, include the PDB files in the add-in package.
