Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) – ENU is a Microsoft component that lets applications embed a lightweight, Visual Studio–style scripting and add-in environment. It provides the runtime and tools that allow users and developers to automate, extend, and customize host applications using .NET languages such as C# and Visual Basic.
The “ENU” designation indicates the English (United States) language package. VSTA is commonly installed as a prerequisite by other software—such as products that offer script tasks, macros, or code-behind features (for example, some editions of SQL Server Integration Services and certain third-party applications). It is not the full Visual Studio IDE; rather, it’s an embeddable environment and runtime that host applications use to enable user scripting and extensibility.
If this component was installed by another program, uninstalling it may disable that program’s scripting or customization features. Updates are typically delivered through Microsoft Update or the application that installed it.
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications - ENU is developed by Microsoft. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 2.0, 8.0, 9.0 beta and 9.0. The names of program executable files are dexplore.exe, vsta.exe.
