Installing Visual Studio 2005 beta’s

The first thing you have do after visiting TechEd 2004 is to download and install the new Visual Studio 2005 products. For the express range Microsoft has two ways of doing this, download it via the VS2005 site  or use the MSDN subscription. Do not use the first variant. Its installs a small client which downloads the files (hxs and hxi files to C:\Program Files\Microsoft MSDN Quarterly\NETDocs\v20\1033) and directly installs the visual studio express edition … you have no choice. The MDSN variant is a clear ISO image file, you better use this one so you can decide where you want to install it.

 

Also available on MSDN subscription: Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 (TRY IT…)
