Description
Hello!
I am playing with BuildXL, I wanted to use it in my visual studio 2019.
In the documentation https://github.com/microsoft/BuildXL/blob/main/Documentation/Wiki/Installation.md there is a line on how to build a visual studio plugin, unfortunately running
.\bxl.cmd .\Out\Bin\debug\ide\*
does produce vsix files for visual studio only for vscode.
can anyone help me with this issue?

Research direction
Start with Documentation/Wiki/Installation.md and the PowerShell command .\bxl.cmd .\Out\Bin\debug\ide*. Check how that command selects plugin outputs and compare the generated VSIX files with the Visual Studio 2019 requirement. Done means the documented build produces a Visual Studio 2019 plugin package, not only a VS Code package.
