I am writing an addin that needs to be able to distinguish between the Express version and the standard version of Visual C++ at run time. Does anyone know how to do this
Thanks,
Jim

Express Editions don’t support add-ins, so you may want to modify your setup to inform about that. I think that Express Editions don’t create the registry entry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.DTE.8.0
So, if that entry is missing, you can show a message "Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition or higher is required to install this add-in (Express editions don’t support add-ins)".

Express versions do not support Add-ins, so configuring your Add-in to detect an Express edition is not necessary.

Is it only Addin's that are not supported by the Express editions
Or is VSIP VSPackage integration also not supported
