AWS Explorer not visible in Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition)

Question

I am trying to install AWS toolkit on MS Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition) using the link here, but I can't find AWS Explorer in VIEW menu of VS:

Tried a couple of workarounds, such as in this thread, but could not find a solution. Tried reinstalling the AWS toolkit and Visual studio as well.

Additional Info: I have installed Visual Studio in D drive, while the AWS Toolkit is installed in the default directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AWS SDK for .NET

Answer 1

You can download a preview version of the toolkit for Visual Studio 2017. It works as a charm in the released Community Edition. Use this link to get it: Download AWS SDK extension to VS 2017

This is an VS extension, and it will link to - as Collin M. Barrett so rightly pointed out - to the actual AWS SDK for Net (Visual Studio).

Answer 2

The toolkit is actually here: https://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio/ (What you are linking to is the SDK.) And, I don't think they have a release available for Visual Studio 2017 yet, unfortunately.
