I had to copy the IronPython 2.7 files to "C:\Users\Jimmy\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Microsoft\IronPython Tools for Visual Studio\0.3" in order to get IronPython Tools to work with this new version. It was still using 2.6.1, so clr.LoadComponent failed. Was I supposed to do that?
