Overview

The Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) provides a foundation on which you can build your own custom-branded tools environment that runs side-by-side with Visual Studio. Building on the Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) lets you reuse the Visual Studio IDE in your application so that you can accelerate development of your tools environment by focusing just on your core tooling problem.

This download contains redistributable runtime binaries that you can distribute together with your Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated)-based application. (These binaries are required on all computers that must run the Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated).) To develop and test a Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated)-based application, download the Visual Studio 2010 SDK.
