Visual Studio Portable

Question

Is there any portable version of Visual Studio (2005, 2008, 2010..)? Is it possible to use VS on a computer without installing the whole package? Virtual machines or alternative IDEs such as SharpDevelop are unfortunately out of the question.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I don't know of any VS portable edition. But if you're planning this "purely" for compiling C#/VB.net code, you should be aware that any computer with .net framework installed contains its compilers (C# and VB.net)
