Description
VSIX packages are Extensions for the Visual Studio IDE. The Visual Studio Gallery at http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/ is the public extension feed and hosts thousands of extensions. You can locate a VSIX Url by finding the download link of Visual Studio extensions on the Visual Studio Gallery.
Notes
Chocolatey works best when the packages contain the software it is managing and doesn’t require downloads. However most software in the Windows world requires redistribution rights and when sharing packages publicly (like on the community feed), maintainers may not have those aforementioned rights. Chocolatey understands how to work with that, hence this function. You are not subject to this limitation with internal packages.
