I'm not sure the isolated shell is the best recommendation.
The purpose of the isolated shell is to run w/ it's own set
of packages which are isolated from the rest of your normal
VS installation.  The integrated shell on the other hand runs
with all available VS packages.  Our walkthrough file recommends
the integrated shell and that download is here:

But either way when you click to install the VSIX it generally
tells you what VS it's going to get installed to.  You can also
figure out where it got installed to after the fact by looking
in look in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio. There you'll see
a set of directories which correspond to VS installations (e.g.
10.0 for the shared location and maybe there'll be one for the 
isolated shell there as well).  Below there will be an 
Extensions\Microsoft\IronPython Tools for Visual Studio 
directory.
