Tool Extension on VS2013 Express or the replacement pro for simple debug

my trial version has expired., and need to find any variants for debugging :( purchase will be expensive for home use... (I have only older Professional box licence)

Everyone knows about business model of MS: Extensions != Express

However., what we have (what i see) for latest versions:

With simple changes into vsixmanifest & pkgdef gives the following result on 2013:

PLK problem:

Warning    CheckPackageSignature failed; invalid Package Load Key    {94ECD13F-15F3-4F51-9AFD-17F0275C6266} Microsoft Visual Studio Appid Stub
Warning    Appid denied the loading of package    {94ECD13F-15F3-4F51-9AFD-17F0275C6266}        VisualStudio

no precise info:

problem can be still with some stubs (it's crazy my dear MS) or really with the PLK or another.. I hope that's second problem and possible to find any solution.

94ecd13f-15f3-4f51-9afd-17f0275c6266 for WDExpress 12.0:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WDExpress\12.0_Config\Packages\{94ecd13f-15f3-4f51-9afd-17f0275c6266}]

...

PublicKeyToken can be as null if lib not signed

so, TODO: instruments or solution
