By Default, the Impact Assessment installer installs the build on your machine’s local path utilizing port 8030. If the user is not using a secure connection, they can copy this link and create the extension from this URL. However, most of the organizations now prefer using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The extension then, therefore, is required to be created using a secure URL (https) along with the binding info.
Click the “OK” button to close the confirmation dialogue box.
VSIX File will now be generated at the desired location.
