Installing from the registry

You can install a package from the registry only when the scope is set to All packages:

1. Open the Package Manager window and select All packages from the package scope drop-down menu.

   

2. Select the package you want to install from the list of packages. The package information appears in the details view.

   Note: By default, the Package Manager does not display preview packages. If you don’t see the package in the list of packages, it may be a preview package. Make sure Show preview packages is enabled under the Advanced drop-down menu on the Package Manager window. For more information, see Including Preview packages.

3. Select the version to install. For more information on available versions, see Finding a specific version.

4. Click the Install button.

When the progress bar finishes, the new package is ready to use.
