    Never seen a service pack quite like it. Its crazy how long it takes to install on a machine, and how much resource it uses. About as resource intensive as compressing a 1 hour video.

      When they are giving so much facilities in .NET IDE (e.g. code snippets, autocomplete, auto correction and all), it surely requires more computing power and memory. I love the good old .NET2003 IDE

          A colleague of mine installed it but I didn't. Last week we found out that when he compiled some ManagedC++ DLL on its computer they were not working on customer's computer (and on our VirtualPC test), whereas if I compiled them they worked. (it's a sort of System.IO.FileLoadException Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B) I wonder if it's related.... I'm NOT going to install it....

            Yes, at least while familiarising myself with controls. A suite like telerik 2 way bound to a nice business object layer makes for a pretty effective RAD environment for web based interactive applications, swap file permitting.

              You probably have to update the manifests or something. Ain't .Net wonderful?

                Well it's still beyond me to fix that. I would investigate it after coming back from my imminent holliday, if necessary ... :doh: :sigh: What a load of crap! :mad:

                    Telerik's control markup is pretty decent and compact (at least compared to guff like infragistics). Certainly good enough for LOB apps and website back ends with the advantage of not having to maintain complex cross browser scripting. If being super anal about markup I would avoid ASP .net controls all together (http://umbraco.org/[^], xslt and jquery is my favourite cocktail at the moment).

                        Manifest files are an utter disaster, I hate them with a passion. I have had apps that compile fine, but at runtime decide they can't find the dll, which is right there, and which has NO dependancies.

                            The manifest generated by Visual C++ is updated to load the SP1 versions of the runtimes if SP1 is installed on the development computer. You need to install the SP1 versions of the runtimes on the end-user's computer to make it work. The appropriate merge modules should have been installed on his development computer; alternatively vcredist_x86.exe should also have been updated. The C/C++ runtime headers in SP1 and the compiler-generated code have presumably been tested with the SP1 runtime library, so you probably ought to keep them together. However, you can avoid auto-generated manifests by going to Project Properties, Linker, Manifest File, and setting Generate Manifest to No.

                              If you don't use C++, remove it before installing the SP.

                                i love that message at the start: "This may take several minutes or if you have more things installed it may take several hours." - that may not be the exact text. At the time i thought someone at MS had found a sense of humour. One hour later, the joke's on me; 9 minutes remaining. Russell

                                  The thing is, I'm doing my installer with InnoSetup. I have no idea how to detect if these 'updated DLLs' are there or not (with pure C code BTW, as InnoSetup doesn't use .NET) and I don't feel like installing vcredist_x86.exe everytime, so I cannot really do it...

                                    If I do that it just doesn't run anymore :sigh: :( But that gave me an idea, maybe there is some hope with the "Allow Isolation" flag? ... testing ... build failed... well, I just have to NOT install VS SP1 and it runs...
