I think the Visual Studio Installer Projects extension is missing from the Visual Studio 2026 image

I am relying on this extension to get the schema.msi file. I tested installing Visual Studio 2015 and the Visual Studio Installer Projects extension on my local computer. The file shows up at this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\VSI\bin\VsdSchema\Schema.msi. However, this path does not exist in the Visual Studio 2026 image even though the matrix shows that it should be installed.
It would be helpful for me if this could be installed. Or perhaps you could instead include the updated version ( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioCli... ) in Visual Studio 2026 itself.
Thanks!

    Does this build work for you on Visual Studio 2022 image?
