Default VSTO, with Visual Studio Express Editions.

Hi,

Was interested in trying VSTO. Is it possible to run the tools with
the Express Editions of Visual Studion? Thanks in advance. Derek

I don't believe VSTO will work with the Express Edition of VS2005. For what
it is worth, I would wait until VS2008 comes out. It is much better in many
respects.

Chip,

What is better about VS 2008? I've used 2005 just a bit. Are you talking
specifically about working with Excel, or more general?

Primarily I'm speaking in general term, not anything specific to Excel. I
have always felt that VSTO was something of a hack job. Packaging, setup,
and deployment, which is overly complicated in VS2005, is said to be much
better in 2008.
