See Visual Cpp 2010-2012 Project Discoverer - 1.1 - Release Notes for more information.

Extension description

This discoverer detects projects based on the presence of Visual Studio C++ *.vcxproj files.

In what situation should you install this extension?

This extension should be used when you are analyzing Visual Studio based C++ applications. The discoverer will automatically create one project for every *.vcxproj file that is delivered for analysis and one corresponding Analysis Unit will then be created for analysis purposes.

Project Exclusion Rules

The discoverer contains a Project Exclusion Rule which is enabled by default: where an equivalent *.vcproj file (Visual C++ 2002 - 2008) is also discovered, the *.vcxproj file will always be used in preference. Following the first delivery of an application where the discoverer was automatically downloaded and installed (Console ≥ 2.4), the rule will then be available in Console UI for subsequent version deliveries:
