How to use CPS for "Visual Studio 2015 Shell Isolated" application?

[MarioHsiao]

1. We must use $ShellFolder$\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\Project; \ in .pkgdef file, the isolated shell will work fine. I wonder why?
2. if there is a PC without install Visual Studio IDE, only installed Visual Studio 2015 isolated Shell Redistributable Package, can CPS still work fine in Isolated Shell application without any exceptions?

@MarioHsiao I try to use your project on a system where only the Visual Studio 2015 isolated Shell Redistributable Package is installed. I can start the VSShellStub and I also can create a new project. But the new project will not open.

"c:\user...\Temp\ProjectType1.myproj" cannot be opened because its project type (.myproj) is not supported by this version of the application.

Dose anyone have a howto to use a CPS with Visual Studio 2015 Shell Isolated or Integrated?

As Mario said in the first post

We must use $ShellFolder$\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\Project; \ in .pkgdef file, the isolated shell will work fine

This means you have to add $ShellFolder$\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\Project; \ line to "PkgDefSearchPath" section of your .pkgdef file.
