An issue that I noticed some weeks ago when playing with packages in several Visual Studio versions was that in VS 2010 command menus were not updated after a change in the .vsct file just clicking F5 to start debugging, I had to rebuild. However, in VS 2012/2013 it just worked without an explicit rebuild action.

In this new article I provide a repro scenario and a fix that involves updating a MSBuild target of the VS 2010 SDK to behave like the ones of VS 2012/2013 SDKs:
