VSTA 到底发生了什么？
我曾经对将 VSTA（Visual Studio 应用程序工具）用于我一直在开发的应用程序非常感兴趣，但有一段时间不再关注它了。现在，无论我如何努力寻找，我似乎都找不到任何新的东西。 VSTA 博客自 2009 年以来就没有更新过，并且 MSDN 指南上的大多数链接都已损坏（它们重定向到通用 VS 页面。）我从 MSDN 文章中找到了它的下载，但它将我发送到此页面，下载按钮被禁用的地方。
有谁知道这个产品发生了什么？该项目就这样被默默放弃了吗？
I used to be really interested in using VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications) for an application I've been working on, but stopped following it for a while. Now, no matter how hard I look, I can't seem to find anything new about it. The VSTA blog hasn't been updated since 2009, and most links through the MSDN guidance on it are broken (they redirect to generic VS pages.) I found a download for it from the MSDN article, but it sends me to this page, where the download button is disabled.
Anyone know what happened to this product? Has the project just been silently abandoned?

如果您想要安装 VSTA，并且已安装 Infopath 2007，请转至添加/删除程序并“更改”office Infopath 2007 安装。从那里，选择“添加或删除功能”>微软办公软件> Microsoft Office Infopath > .NET 可编程性支持 > .NET Framework 2.0 版的 .NET 可编程性支持 > Visual Studio Tools for Applications（将其设置为“从我的计算机运行”）。安装 Infopath 时默认禁用它。
If you want to install VSTA, and you have Infopath 2007 installed, go to add/remove programs and 'change' the office Infopath 2007 installation. From there, select 'Add or Remove Features ' > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Infopath > .NET Programmability Support > .NET Programmability support for .NET Framework version 2.0 > Visual Studio Tools for Applications (set this to "Run from my computer"). It is disabled by default on installing Infopath.
现在又被支持了。 SDK 可以在此处下载：
http://www.microsoft。 com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38806
还有一个文档显示了示例主机实现。
It's now supported again. The SDK can be downloaded here:

There's also a document with it that shows an example host implementation.
2016 年 6 月更新 – Microsoft 再次提供 VSTA
我在 2016 年 5 月遇到了这个问题，我唯一发现其他答案中提到的所有链接都已损坏（......并且仍然如此），并且没有任何类似 VSTA 的可用或除了一些非常古老的博客之外，甚至在 Microsoft 网站上也提到过。
令我惊讶的是，今天我发现不仅有 VSTA 2012，还有 VSTA 2015
搜索短语是“tools for applications Visual Studio”。
2019 更新
June 2016 UPDATE – VSTA is available again from the Microsoft
I came across this question in May 2016 and the only thing I found that all links mentioned in other answers were broken (...and still are) and there was nothing like VSTA available or even mentioned on the Microsoft website except of some very old blogs.
To my surprise, today I found available not only VSTA 2012, but also VSTA 2015
The search phrase was "tools for applications visual studio".
2019 UPDATE
维基百科上有大量信息：

最新版本是 VSTA 2.0，可以在这里下载：

There is a fair amount of information on Wikipedia at:

我也有同样的想法 - 我一直在寻求将某种客户脚本/自定义集成到我们的 .Net 应用程序中，VSTA 看起来很合适，但我一直无法找到任何有用的资源。我什至给 Summit Software（几年前接管了 VSTA）发了电子邮件，想了解到底发生了什么，但从未收到回复。他们网站上的文档和示例都很旧，对初学者来说没有多大用处。
我确实找到了以下 Microsoft 2012 年 3 月的公告（但不记得在哪里）。似乎是说 Microsoft 现在已收回 VSTA：

另外，微软最近发布了“VSTA 2012 RTM - 预览",但同样没有文档——只有一堆 DLL。这一切都非常令人沮丧。
I'm in the same boat - I've been looking to integrate some kind of customer scripting/customisation into our .Net app, and VSTA looked like a good fit, but I've not been able to find any useful resources. I even emailed Summit Software (who took over VSTA some years ago) to find out what's been going on, but never received a reply. The documentation and samples on their site are old and not much use to a beginner.
I did find the following Microsoft announcement (can't remember where though) from March 2012. It seems to be saying that Microsoft have now taken VSTA back:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=5F66468E9A011792!115&authkey=!ANFwY0TpEvwdfM4
Also, Microsoft recently released "VSTA 2012 RTM - Preview", but again no documentation - just a bunch of DLLs. It's all very frustrating.
