You can't have SSMS2012 without some aspects of VS2010 as SSMS2012 lives within the VS2010 shell. That's like trying to run a VS2010 add-in without VS2010.

Oh drats! That's the reverse of what I'm trying to do. I've got to figure out how to utterly remove VS2010 (if it's possible). When I finish today's hobby coding I'll run a global search through the registry to try and get clues about which products have their lives entwined with VS2010, then see if it's safe to attempt to untangle them.
