Trying to integrate Doxygen with AS7

I have installed the Doxygen extension:

Doxygen

And the documentation on Microchip.com suggest that is all I need to do.

However when I use the Project / Doxygen menu item I get an error message telling me that "Doxygen is not configured". Fair enough, I go to Tools / Options / Documentation / Doxygen and it looks like it needs the executable path. Trouble is I cannot find a doxygen executable on my system.

Hmmmm. Any ideas? Should I just abandon the extension and install it externally instead?

I see exactly the same. When I go to the Extensions menu it shows a green tick on Doxygen though I don't remember ever asking it to be added. When I try to use

It shows:

These is no exe file for doxygen to enter into that tools-options dialog.

Wonder if it would help to tell "Extensions" to remove it and then try installing it a second time?

@clawson - Thanks for the quick reply.

I see exactly the same - yet no .exe in that bunch.

I removed the extension / restarted AS7 / re-installed extension / Restart AS7 and got the same results as before.

I have now downloaded the doxygen windows installer from doxygen.org and set the executable path in AS7 and it's working now :-)

Oh maybe this is the point (it would help if there were a manual!). Perhaps you ARE expected to get the EXE separately and this GUI stuff is just a graphic wrapper to invoke it ?

OK so there IS a manual....

https://www.microchip.com/webdoc...

That clearly says there is a copy of the exe in the VSIX but what seems to be missing is the step to get it out of the VSIX and into a location that can be entered in the dialog ??

That page also states "And if you choose to use that executable the path is preconfigured." when referring to the VSIX

Looks like the VSIX and/or documentation are a bit stale.

While it seems I have "Doxygen" there's no evidence of it here at all - which seems "odd" ?!?

It might be in the "other" folder "C:\Program Files" ? (I can never remember which is 32-bit and which is 64-bit)

Doxygen is a per-user extension so it will be available in %localappdata%\Atmel\AtmelStudio\7.0\Extensions

So when the .vsix for Doxygen is added to AS7 why doesn't it automatically set the EXE path for Doxygen to this location ?? I doubt anyone is going to just "stumble" upon this (unless they just search all their drives for "doxygen.exe")
