Support for Visual Studio Express edition

Is there support for the Express editions of Visual Studio Basic and C#? The Dataobjects.Net Templates aren't available and the tools menu doesn't show the Dataobjects.Net upgrade options.

You can manually find installed project templates in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\DataObjects.Net\Install\Templates\CSharp (for 64bit) or C:\Program Files\DataObjects.Net\Install\Templates\CSharp (for 32bit)

And for Project Upgrade Tool, you can find it in Start menu\DataObjects.Net v4.3.5\Tools.

I think Express edition of Visual Studio has some limitations with project templates and/or tools menu, but not sure.

That's correct: DO does not support VS Express. But:

You can manually install its templates. You need .zip file from the specified folder + this description.
Project upgrade tool can also be manually added to the Tools menu - use the following settings.

We'll eliminate the issue in future - actually, there are no any strong reasons for not supporting VS Express.
