  Dear Apurva Sinha,

  I have just purchased a Brand New VS 2005 Standard Edition, and to be able to use VSTO will I have to purchase ANOTHER Visual Studio or only an "add-on" to my current Visual Studio 2005

  If there is an add-on available in Amazon or Microsoft web site, I have not finded (could you help me find ). If not, is it possible to change my current VS 2005 Standard Edition to one that supports Office-Excel Integration (one that inserts assemblies in the worksheet)

  I bought this one to use with the VSTO, but it is not showing in the project templates. :(

  Thank you,

  Fabio

  Dear Mike Hernandez,

  Thank you for your attention !

  Since the VSTO 2005 does not come with c++. Would it be possible to have an installation of VSTO 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition in the same Machine

  * I have a lot of code written in c++, and I would need a way to code in c++.

  * Sorry to make so many questions about VSTO !

  Regards,

  Thank you once again,

  Fabio Dias da Silva

  Hey Carlos,

  Unfortunately, the version of VS 2005 Standard Edition that your are installing does not come with VSTO.

  You can purchase VSTO 2005 in three ways:

  • As a stand-alone product via Microsoft’s web site or Amazon.com
  • As part of Visual Studio 2005 Team System
  • As part of the MSDN Premium or Professional subscriptions.

  See the "Office Development support" row for VSTO capability. I hope this helps.

  Hi Fabio,

  I am very sorry to hear that. If you had known that VSTO was not available in Standard Edition you would have gone for on of the other editions.

  I am not sure about upgrades and costs.The VSTO standalone edition is actually comparable to what used to be called Pro. You will continue to have all the features of Standard edition and more (including VSTO).

  I will refer this question to people who can answer it better. Please wait for an answer.

  Thanks.

  You can purchase VSTO in these ways:

  • As a standalone product via the Microsoft web site or Amazon.com
  • As part of Visual Studio Team System
  • As part of an MSDN Professional or Premium subscription

  It sound to me as if your best bet is to just purchase a standalone version of VSTO.

  Thanks!

  Thank you Apurva Sinha,

  I think I know where the confusion came up:

  * The name Visual Studio "Tools for Office" sugests that the product would be a kind of Office Tools plug-in for Visual Studio and not a stand alone version of Visual Studio.

  * Also there was a Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO.EXE) to download from the MS website, suggesting that this plug-in could be downloaded. But only after we realized that it was only the runtime.

  *In Visual Studio 2003 it did have this new versions.

  ***Actually, we have ordered 5 licenses of the Visual Studio Standard, but we actually wanted the VSTO 2005. Would it be possible to change this licenses to a VSTO version, by paying the difference

  Thank you again,

  Regards,

  Fabio
