    The Future Without VSTA

    At this point it is pretty clear that Microsoft has no intention of continuing to support VSTA (or if this is not true, somebody please enlighten me).

    The question is what should those of us who have integrated VSTA into an exisitng application do in the future?  I have an app developed in VS2008 with VSTA 2.0 included to support user developed scripting.  This functionality is right at the heart of the application and it can't function without it.  Thre are also a large number of user developed C# scripts that need to continue to be supported. 

    We would like to move to VS2010, but obviously cannot do so given the current state of affairs.

    Does anyone have any insight into what optiions are available going forward and how to get from here to there?

    Thanks,

    Bob

    Re: The Future Without VSTA

    Here is the ‘transition document’ (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/vsta) which includes contact information for your options going forward with Microsoft. 

    Last October, 2010 Summit reported the circumstances you have described to the Microsoft VSTA team; they are aware that many VSTA ISVs are facing this issue.
