c++ - Installing visualizer for boost::posix_time::ptime in Visual Studio Express 2012 -


when debugging application boost::posix_time::ptime instances in it, normal debugger not helpful, shows time value in ticks. when outputting same object std::cout, console shows time in readable format.

now know of existance of debug visualizers, can format values readable format in debugger. there handy installer tool includes debug visualizer boost::posix_time @ msdn.

however, when trying install tool, error message "this extention not installable on installed products.". maybe because using express version of visual studio 2012, don't think so, support other tools , extentions.

boost provide the files install debug visualizer, there no regarding how install them. visual studio mentions how install .dll files visualizer in it, while files provided boost .txt , .hpp files.

so, still don't know how install visualizer boost::posix_time. how do this?

i'm not sure if express versions support installing debug visualizers extensibility restricted.

vs2012 uses new format debug visualizers unless ones trying install in new format (which xml-based iirc , not backward compatible) you're not going anywhere them. ones linked in old format, , install them on pre-vs2012 visual studio, put them appropriate sections of autoexp.dat file find in visual studio directory tree.
