Hi Giles You'll need to build the various projects that get installed to "Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2005.12\VisualStudioIntegration\Samples\IronPythonIntegration".
Merely building them will also register them in the Visual Studio "experimental hive". The idea is that while you're writing a package for Visual Studio, you don't want to potentially mess up your installed version, so we create a copy of all the settings and have you work inside the "experimental" copy. In order to run VS under this experimental mode, you can use the shortcut that is installed with the Visual Studio SDK on the Start Menu, or run "devenv /rootsuffix Exp" from a VS Command Prompt. Again, I would stress that this is a very early preview of what we're working on. It will be in a more usable state in our next preview release (probably late Jan 2006). If you have more questions about the sample or Visual Studio Extensibility, I would encourage you to check out our homepage and discussion forum: Homepage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/ Forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=57&siteid=1 Thanks, Aaron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Giles Thomas Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 4:03 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] IronPython IDE Hi Aaron, Thanks for the pointer. Is there any simple documentation on setting this up once you've downloaded it? Cheers, Giles Aaron Marten wrote: > Hi Giles, > I'm on the Visual Studio SDK team here at Microsoft.
