Hello,

I think this is because the Express editions do not support extensions. Have you considered using Visual Studio 2015 Community? Just like the old Expression editions, Community is a free version of Visual Studio, but (and awesomely!) it is essentially equivalent to the Professional edition of Visual Studio - so you can use extensions with it. While I haven't tested the Add Projects extension with the Community edition, it is working perfectly find with 2015 Enterprise so I'm quite sure it will work fine in Community too.

Regards;
