I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium, and point it to my works SharePoint folder and get an error when I try to make a new project; “A SharePoint is not installed on this computer”. I love Visual Basic, but don’t know if it’s worth loading more programs on my current PC, or just doing SharePoint via their tools. (SharePoint Designer) I do want more functionality like: Search uploaded files, and cool webpages that cross libraries and include links so a document can be grouped in multiple views without replication. Is it simple to install a SharePoint on my main PC and is there value added?
It all comes down to the version of VS that is being used. I think you have to install the SharePoint server on the same workstation or server if you are using VS2010.
