Hi Roland, Malcolm and everyone,

As it turns out, I have Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2010 and when I tried to run the installer, it stopped and gave
me a message that "Visual Studio 2010 must be installed.  The free integrated shell can be downloaded....."  I saw on the 
web page that a 'VS Shell' could be downloaded.  I am assuming that PythonTools was tested for Microsoft Visual Studio 
Professional 2010, not Express and that is the problem.  I don't want 2 Visual Studios on my system, is that what would happen
 if I downloaded VS Shell?  And where would VS Shell go?  Would it make itself the default of some things?

(I am emailing from a diff acct than usual)

Regards,

Patty
