  @mrhassell: the Application Explorer is available as part of the standard tooling for Dynamics AX 2012 and AX 2012 R2. So no extra download is needed. This is not available for prior versions.

  @munsif - this post is from the time of preview of the Dynamics AX tools for Visual Studio. This shipped with AX2012 and later versions and is installed as part of installing AX. It is used for Enterprise Portal, SSRS Reports and creation of managed code to use in context of the Dynamics AX application. As of AX2012 R2, the only supported version is Visual Studio 2010. If you're looking for examples on how to use the tools, please refer to the MSDN documentation or let us know what in particular you're looking for.
