--- Comment #1 from Rainer Schuetze <r.sagitario at gmx.de> ---
Thanks for the report.

Is it only visuald.pkgdef that is in the wrong place or are
extension.vsixmanifest and vdlogo.ico affected aswell?

> running the x86 target displays a console window for a fraction of a second, shows the following in the output, and does nothing else:

Try switching the debug engine to "Visual Studio" (debugging settings).

> as for the x64 target, the build script (x64\Debug\ConsoleApp1.build.cmd) contains wrong paths (two different ones!) as well, so VS cannot build anything. I've attached the file.

As a workaround you could try replacing $(VCInstallDir) and similar macros in
the global options with the explicit path.
