Remove Visual Studio Dependencies from MSTest
I can't stand the idea of having to install Visual Studio on a build server. MSTest should be standalone like NUnit (or any other test frameworks).

Am I missing something? Just install the MSTest bits.

Sounds like a good suggestion for the Team Test product group instead of the ASP.NET product group.
I actually disagree though. I'm okay with MSTest being in the box and supported as a first-class citizen. I'm also okay with third-party testing frameworks being able to essentially implement whatever is necessary in a provider-like model to work seamlessly inside Visual Studio, Team Build, etc.

It would be great through if MSTest was available as a separate installer, just like the remote debugging setup. Right now it's possible to copy the required files to a build server but that's a real pain.
