Visual Studio 2017 RC

Does anyone knows if I will be able to safely upgrade from RC to RTM? I would like to try VS2017, but I have been burned out by the upgrade progress to RTM in the past and can't be bothered trying it in a VM...

My experience from the past says: maybe. RC to RTM upgrade mostly works, but some cruft lays around or isn't done correctly. My advice is to put in RC in a VM or separate boot partition.

Nobody knows it. It probably depends on how fast Microsoft will release RTM build of Visual Studio 2017. As far as I can understand you want to perform a safe upgrade to RTM build, but I would not do it. Just, remove your VSS2015 and setup the new Visual Studio 2017 RTM at the time it will be available for download. :) P.S. Thanks for notification of Visual Studio 2017 is about to be ready to the market.

I wonder if this is a correct inference from what has been said on this thread. In my experience, the transitions in MS software tools between RC and first release, are slippery when wet, and always wet.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I'm not expecting a seamless upgrade. I'd already tried Preview ?, Preview ?, RC, and kept disappointed. The extension system was not compatible with the one in 2015. My current favorite extensions were not running on it, which became the major drawback for me to try out its features.

Yeah, I really went out on a limb with that one!

If he can't be arsed to try it in a VM, do you really think this is going to be an option for him?
Indeed! :laugh:
