Is VS.NET 2008 Express Edition supported?

Hi,

Is it possible to install RTC Client for MS VS IDE V3.0.1 into VS.NET 2008 Express Edition?

I've found this list of supported IDEs (https://jazz.net/library/article/632):
Additional IDEs

* Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with .NET 4.0
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with .NET 3.5 SP1
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1 with .NET 3.5 SP1

But it's still not clear if Express Edition is supported or not.

-thanks in advance

I have just tried an install with an express version at home, and out of the box it appears not to. I am going to see if I can hack it and wedge it into VS VB Express,C# express and C++ 2008 editions.

I will keep you posted. Unless Microsoft have disabled SCC from their express editions, I don't see why this shouldn't work.

Actually, scratch that. Apparently Microsoft have decided that the express editions should not integrate with any CM system - regardless of whther it is a M$ system or not and regardless of whether or not you have bought a CM system or not:

I don't want to be sued for helping anyone out, so unless you want to fork out for a full version of MSDS, you will have to just use RTC separately and do the good ol' Alt Tab thing.

Even Hobbyists need CM control, and students sure should be familiar with at least the basics of version control.

Hi,
As you pointed out, RTC is not supported on visual studio Express edition. The reason is, that the express edition does not provide support for Visual Studio extensibility.
