[IronPython] Trouble with IP 7.0 and VS 2010

[Kurt A Richardson]

Hi forum

I've been trying to install IronPython 2.7A1 from codeplex on my Windows 
7 box running VS 2010 Pro.  However as soon as I install IP and open VS 
2010, VS2010 hangs, and I can't even open a VB code file.  Whenever I 
attempt to open a file VS 2010 gives me the following error:

Internal error occurred. Additional information: "."

As soon as I uninstall IronPython 2.7A1, VS2010 starts working properly 
again.

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling VS 2010 several times, but I 
still can't get it to load-up properly with IronPython 2.7A1 installed.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Any ideas on how I might correct 
it.  I was hoping to have a IronPython/ASP.NET website ready for a 
simple demo this Thursday, but am getting nowhere fast.  I have written 
a number of IronPython libraries to control a XBee transceiver as part 
of a Smart Home application I'm developing, and want to show that I can 
switch a fan on/off from a web app remotely.

Many thanks for any tips and guidance.
