Back in November 2023 Peter Villadsen announced that “The Visual Studio 2022 add-in is now available for Dynamics 365 for Financials and Operations.”. If you haven´t seen this yet please have a look: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powerplatform/the-visual-studio-2022-add-in-is-now-available-for-dynamics-365-for-financials-and-operations/

This blog wants to add more visibility to the details of enabling Visual Studio 2022 for your Dynamics 365 for Financials and Operations development.

As Peter wrote first you need to install Visual Studio 2022 with the following minimum feature selected:

Now you need to apply a deployable package from LCS to your development environment. The package you use needs to have version 10.0.36 PU60 out higher. I also install only the extension via [.ixxxxxxxxxx file] from a deployable package with version 10.0.36 PU60, but this didn’t end up with a working VS extension.

After you‘ve applied the deployable package directly on the VM or from LCS, you can enjoy VS 2022 with so far no crashes during debugging because of to much memory consumption.
