Requirements

Visual Studio 2012 installation media. "Charon" cookbook, to install dotnet45 prerequisite (could be bypassed; however, installing dotnet45 prior to visual studio 2012 is recommended because it prevents a reboot).

Attributes

It is intended that all tunable attributes are located inside the default file. The individual version files simply work off the default attributes, and are not intended to be modified.

Usage

Add the visualstudio::default recipe to your run list, and customize the attributes inside the default file. The individual version attributes files are not intended to be modified, and the individual version recipes are not intended to be added directly to the run list.
