This gets installed with Visual Studio and more specifically the .NET Framework. It compiles code of Intermediate Language (IL) to .dll library files and .exe executable files. Common Intermediate Language (CIL) is even more generic than the CLR (Common Language Runtime) code that C# and VB.NET compiles to. I think the CLR compiles down to CIL too, but introduces type safety not in the CIL.
