Remarks
Although this API supports the Extension Manager infrastructure, we recommend that you do not use it because it is subject to change.
Installing an extension by using this method automatically enables the extension as well. A restart of Visual Studio may be required for the extension to become loadable.
If installation succeeds, this method sets the PackagePath property of the IInstallableExtension object.
