Can't install VSIX extension file in Visual Studio Express 2013?

Question

I have installed Visual Studio Express Web on Windows 8.1

I went to this site and downloaded the extension for the VS theme editor for VS 2013. However, when I double-click it it tries and fails to install.

I get this error: enter image description here

Is it not possible to add this extension, or even edit themes easily, in VS Express?

Visual Express has never support extensions. If a theme is considered an extension it would explain the error. You can import/export your settings which determine certain visual charaistics in VS Express — Ramhound, Nov 19, 2013 at 20:32

In November 2014, Microsoft released a community Edition of VS2013, which is based on the Professional, supports Extensions and is free for home users.
