Can I or can I not use addin manager in visual studio 2017?

Question

So I have an old Rhapsody addin (RhaspodyAddin.AddIn) that I can't convert to VSIX package file because its 3rd party.

Looking at the online docs: here it suggests that I need to add the addin in the addin manager. But the addin Manager is gone in msvs2017 (I am converting a project from MSVS2012 which does have addin manager).

It says that addins are deprecated since 2013.

So does anyone know what I need to do to use this older .addin style addin or if it is even possible anymore in MSVS2017?

Visual Studio中不再支持外接程序，您必须要求供应商提供基于Vspackage的扩展名（使用.vsix文件格式）
