I installed IronPython 2.6.1 on Windows Vista x64 on a machine with Visual Studio 2010 installed. I expected to find these DLLs:
Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll
Those assemblies implemented the DLR. That's been moved in .NET 4.0, System.Core.dll assembly.
I have 2.6.1 for .NET 4.0 installed and those assemblies are not available since, if I'm not mistaken, they were integrated into .NET 4.0 System.Core.
Those assemblies are still available in the .NET 2.0 version of IronPython 2.6.1.
