+Released version 1.0.
+Changes:
+(1) Removed installation for VS 2005 and 2008, but left the code so that it can be used for later versions of VS (2012, etc.). In other words: version 1.0 supports ONLY Visual Studio 2010.
+(2) Upgraded the app .NET runtime version to 4.0.
+(3) Upgraded the .NET provider files to version 2.7.7.0.
