Going File > New > Project gave me the same options as was available in the VS 2008 SDK integration.Īfter creating a new Windows Application, it looks and feels the same as VS so you won’t have any trouble navigating around. Upon launching Iron Python Studio, I was greeted with a very familiar feel to Visual Studio.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled IP Studio without any problems. I then had to go into the directory where I had extracted it to (C:VS 2008 Shell RedistIsolated Mode) and run the real installer (vs_shell_). Installing this, I found that it doesn’t actually install it – if I had actually read it correctly I would have read that it was just extracting. Turns out you need to have Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (isolated mode) Redistributable Package ( ) installed which the installer doesn’t check for, this is a 384mb download. On my first attempt to install the application, I was greeted with this error message:Ĭannot find one or more components. However, I came across an application called IronPython Studio (Colin also pointed it out on the comments) which uses the Visual Studio 2008 Shell to provide a IronPython IDE.
In my previous post, I discussed Visual Studio Integration, IronPython and how difficult it was to get started.
