How about naming it VSTO 2005 R2? It would be great to see naming consistency with other Microsoft products (Server 2003 R2, Virtual Server 2005 R2).

I am trying to install the new bits for VSTO 2005 Second Edition Beta and the installer is telling me that I have to uninstall Team foundation Server and VS2005 Team Explorer from my machine. Seeing as I use these products for my job, I guess I will not be installing these beta. My question is will the final release work with VSTS and what conflicts with this beta release and VSTS? Thanks

Hey, thanks for letting me install the SE beta without having to install ALL of Office 2007.

Martin -

Your last 2 paragraphs are exactly what I've been looking for to confirm what I've found through experience: VSTO 2005SE is *really*different* than VSTO 2005.

I've got a new laptop, and I've got VS 2005 Team Suite with Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office and Visual Studio Tools for Office Second Edition on it, along with Office 2007.

I'd like to take some old applications that were running in Office 2003 (specifically, some spreadsheets with .NET add-ins) and build them to run in Office 2007. But when I try to open those in VS 2005, I get the old "A compatible version of Microsoft Office Excel 2003 is not installed on this computer..." message.

Does this mean I really can't take these old projects and easily port them to run in 2007?

Note -- if I build these on my old laptop (VS 2005, VSTO 2005, Office 2003), they run fine in Office 2007 on my new laptop (in "compatibility mode"). Do I really have to install Office 2003 in order to build these?
