title: ILNumerics - Visual Studio integration
body: <p>I have been trying to integrate ILNumerics with VS, following the instructions on the ILNumerics website.</p>
  
  <p>I am using VS-2013-Express-Desktop under Windows 8.1 with ILNumerics Trial Edition.
  I am interested in acquiring the Standard Edition, after the trial period expires; nevertheless, I would like to be able to use the software at its full potential. </p>
  
  <p>I can add ILNumerics references from VS Express Desktops and the code seems working, I can also import data, as prescribed; but I am unable to install the Visual Studio Extension.</p>
  
  <p>From the error code I get it would seem that ILNumerics extension is supported only for Pro,Ultimate, and Premimum Edition of VS, on the 'Express' side only the Windows edition seems to be supported. Is it so? </p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to install the mentioned extensions for VS  Express Desktop edition? </p>
  
  <p>What are the main advantages that I miss? On the documentation it would seem there are some templates and the array visualiser; anything else?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
  
  <p>GL</p>
