Simplify the process of building ptvs for external users

description

Is there a way to simplify the process of building ptvs for external users. Currently we need to download and install about 8 components to get it to work. Will that be possible with one setup script just like we did in web installer?

Already working on this, so I'll have a look at making a script to grab dependencies (where we can) and setting up the on-machine things.

There is already a web page with instructions (http://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Build%20Instructions%20for%20PTVS) which is up-to-date as far as dependencies are concerned. I'll spend some time improving it once my changes come through.

Building is improved by http://pytools.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/68b1beeb50a2 and updated instructions at http://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Build%20Instructions%20for%20PTVS though all the components still need to be downloaded separately.

Leaving this open while we consider an automated installer for the build environment and making some dependencies optional.

Unassigning myself, since I'm not actively working on this. We may revisit this when we've sorted out the specific requirements for a test machine (interpreters, libraries, install locations, etc.).
