I am trying to install VS2008 sp1 to my work machine - it has a pathetic 10Gb C drive. The SP1 bootstrapper doesn't give the option to install items to D, only C. It needs 3Gb free and the machine only has about 700Mb. VS allowed me to install to D originally why not the SP. The only thing I can think of that it requires system files in...
From what I've read, VS 2008 SP1 and Team Foundation Server SP1 packages are traditional service packs that require you to first install the original versions before you will be able to install the SP. Is there a way, supported or not, to slipstream the install? ...
When I launch the VS 2008 SP1 installer it says that it needs 6,366MB, and my C drive only has 2,452MB free space. Is there a way to install it that doesn't require so much free space? I've tried downloading the ISO image and mounting that, but it still requires 5,864MB free. Am I missing any obvious command line switches? ...
Debugging in visual studio seems to have been broken with sp1. Single stepping randomly does not work and just starts to run. Sometimes breakpoints are ignored. It is unpredictable and unusable. It will generally hit the first break point but after that it is totally unpredictable. Any idea what needs to be done to correct this behavi...
I am using VS 2008 with SP1 and the IE 8 beta 2. Whenever I start a new Web site or when I double-click an ASPX in the solution explorer, VS insists on attempting to the display the ASPX page in a free-standing IE browser instance. The address is the local file path to the ASPX it's trying to load and an error that says, "The XML page ca...

I'm giving Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition (GDR Version) a go on a new project I'm working on and have come up against a slightly annoying problem that I am hoping someone knows how to resolve.

When I use the WCF Test Client, it shows an IMetadataExchange end point, even if I don't have one defined. However that endpoint also has an error indicating it can't talk to the endpoint. I've tested this on a few applications and it happens with all of them: 'The contract 'IMetadataExchange' in client configuration does not match the ...

Somehow my VS2008 SP1 has lost the ability to step into .NET framework sources. I've played around with checkboxes to no end; I've re-deleted the Symbol cache folder a dozen times; and I've tried all kinds of debug symbol servers. All it does is download some .PDB files, but when I try to select a stack frame in .NET, I always get the m...

I installed VS 2008 without SQL 2005, then I installed SQL 2008, then I needed 2005 express so I reinstalled VS checking the SQL feature. The installation went OK, however I still cannot open mdf files from VS. I think there is no 2005v instance installed. When I dbl-click an mdf file in VS I get the following message: Connections to SQ...
