Image Editor Toolbar missing in VS 2015 Shell (isolated) application

[ACordner]

I have recently upgraded an application from the Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Isolated) and mpfproj11 to use the Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) and mpfproj12. In the 2102 shell application, the Image Editor toolbar was present, but in the 2105 shell application, this toolbar is missing. I have verified that I am not removing the appropriate package in my .pkgundef file. I believe I have located the GUID associated with the package from the Visual Studio registry entries:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\Editors\{C0BA70ED-069E-412B-9C06-7442E28A11B9}
(Default): VC Image Editor
Package: {74AAD8B2-3294-49CB-BB5D-E9BAB132BFD5}

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\Packages\{74AAD8B2-3294-49CB-BB5D-E9BAB132BFD5}
(Default): Visual C++ Resource Editor Package
InprocServer32: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcpackages\resedit.dll

When I inspect the registry under my application's path, I do not have an entry in the \Packages node for {74AAD8B2-3294-49CB-BB5D-E9BAB132BFD5} or in the \Editors node for {C0BA70ED-069E-412B-9C06-7442E28A11B9}

On a virtual machine where I have installed the Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) redistridutable as well as the Update 3 redistributable with my application, the folder/library indicated by the InprocServer32 registry entry on my development machine does not exist. Does this library not get installed by the redistributables? Was this removed from VS 2015 shell?

There is a resedit.dll library in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcpackages on my virtual machine with corresponding registry entries in ...\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\...

Does anyboby know about this?
