envdte.dll with c# utility

[Allen Anderson]

due to some installer problems, I need to ship envdte.dll and put it
on a client machine briefly during the install of one of my controls.
Does anyone know if ms restricts the redistribution of this dll?
Basically I need to ship it so that one of my installer utilities that
tries to instantiate the DTE doesn't blow sky high before it even gets
the chance to run when I include envdte in the project.

Hi Allen,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to know if envdte.dll is
available for redistribution. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel
free to let me know.

As far as I know, we cannot redistribute it. There is a file named
resdist.txt under VS.NET installation folder. It contains the list of all
the files available for redistribution. Obviously, envdte.dll is not
included.

HTH.
