I am stuck with IronPython Studio Installation. It needs VS 2008 Shell Isolated Mode Redistributable Package. So i downloaded that and installed in my C:\Program Files. Then I ran IronPython Studio Isolated.msi but it says that

This setup requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell Isolated Mode Redistributable Package. Please install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell Isolated Mode Redistributable Package and run this setup again.

I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate in my PC. OS is Windows 8 32 bit.

  • Please try to search a bit longer the next time as there seem to be questions relating to similar issues and the abandonment as old as five years: http://stackoverflow.com/q/1920596/468244 – Simon Opelt Oct 14 '14 at 12:49

Please have a look at Python Tools for Visual Studio. It is a very active IDE project for IronPython supporting various visual studio versions.

Is there any specific reason why you want to use IronPython Studio? The project seems to have been abandoned six years ago and is unlikely to work with recent versions of visual studio and IronPython.

  • I have a book named Pro IronPython 2009 and in that book the author teaches with IronPython Studio. And IronPython Stusio is a visual studio like drag and drop IDE. I like ease of use in Visual studio. I like the simplicity of python. IronPython Studio can mix these two things up. But it is very sad that these type of projects have been abandoned ver long. – Vinod KC Oct 15 '14 at 12:11
  • In your link, it is about IronPython. Not for IronPython Studio. – Vinod KC Oct 15 '14 at 12:13

    In most aspects, PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) replaces IronPython Studio and offers the same features and even more. If *a visual studio like drag and drop IDE* refers to a WPF (no winforms) GUI designer, PTVS has that. You could also read what actual experts on IronPython and its ecosystem are saying in related discussions: [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2978656/468244) and [there](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2978141/468244) – Simon Opelt Oct 15 '14 at 12:30

After installing the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell Isolated Mode Redistributable Package, go to the c:\ drive. At the root level you will find the folder VS 2008 Shell Redist\Isolated Mode. Here is the real installation file named vs_shell_isolated.enu.exe. Install it!

After completing that installation, you will be able to install IronPython Studio 1.0.
