I HATE Microsoft....

Downloaded the VS.NET beta, it won't install. Hangs at 100% on installing components update, or somesuch. Try to uninstall VS.NET 2002, it won't work. It finishes with errors and THE IDE STILL WORKS !!! What is WRONG with these people ? I thought .NET makes installing and uninstalling easier ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Do not remember exactly what was the cuprit but do you have any virus checkers or firewall software. I think that was stoping something from properly finishing and settings being completed correctly. I had Symantecs virus program and ZoneAlarm firewall on that machine. "I will find a new sig someday."

Typically it does, but VS.NET isn't all .NET code so you still have the convoluted setup process ;P Sorry I can't help you, my install went through flawlessly.

This year, I'll try turning off Nortons tonight, thanks for the tip. Christian P.S.

If you are going to whine and bitch about the installation failing, at least bother to perform the always recommended pre-installation step of reading the readme file - if you had it would have told you about what appears to be this exact issue. Take a look at item 5.27. Next you'll be telling me you don't print out and read all your EULAs! :suss:
