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.
