Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications lets you add and run VSTA customizations in applications that are integrated with VSTA.

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications lets you add and run VSTA customizations in applications that are integrated with VSTA. VSTA has two primary modes of operation: with a supported version of Visual Studio installed and standalone. In standalone mode, VSTA provides the application with the means to load, compile, and run end-user customizations. With a supported version of Visual Studio installed on your machine, VSTA extends that functionality with the means to edit and debug those customizations.
This version contains a fix for CVE-2025-29803. Please see https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2025-29803 for more information.
