Re: .net 3.5 SP1 and VS 2008 SP1 released    By stiphy31 on 8/12/2008 10:44 PM
Installation went well. I installed .net 3.5 SP1 first. Beware, it's a 2.8MB download that pulled down 39mb once I ran the installer. I then ran the utility to uninstall any updates to Visual Studio 2008 that may interfere with SP1 (located on download site for VS 2008 SP1). I had none. I then ran the VS 2008 SP1 updater. Again it is a tiny file that pulled down hundreds of megs of stuff. I HATE this as we have a slow internet connection where I'm at and I'd much rather just have the full download so I can put it on a network share and have all of our developers do it that way. I'm sure this option is available somewhere, but the inital links were not done this way. <br><br>Once the 2 hours of downloading completed it took another 1.5 hours to install. Aol instant messenger and mdm.exe were interfering with it so it got stock on a "close these processes screen." A tip, if you don't close all the processes (I missed mdm.exe the first time) it will waste a lot of time as it will spend 15 minutes trying again only to fail and go back to where it asked you to close the processes.<br><br>Once installed I rebooted and my re-compiled my projects. VS 2008 seemed a bit snappier and better peforming and my apps ran just fine. So far so good, I will report anything I find here over the next few days.<br><br>Sean
