submitted by Jemm(9604) 5 years, 5 months ago

Service Pack 1 of the development platform includes user reported fixes and more than 70 improvements for common development scenarios, including new processor support for code generation and profiling, as well as performance and scale improvements in Microsoft's TFS (Team Foundation Server). Although Microsoft has released the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 bits to manufacturing, official news of the release is not expected until Monday [18.12.2006], sources close to the company said.

Warning: it takes forever to install(like 1 hour+), so start it before you go to lunch or something, then it will be maybe 1/3 way done when you come back and have to press "OK" for the next parts to install.

btb73: That's true. One should also uninstall Web Application Project before installing the SP1, as it is already included in the service pack. More good tips in ScottGu's blog: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/15/visual-studio-2005-service-pack-1-sp1-released.aspx

How's it work on Vista?

posted by Jemm(9604) 5 years, 5 months ago 0

From the article:
"For developers using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista, Microsoft is working on an update to Visual Studio 2005 SP1 called the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista. This update builds on the improvements made in Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and delivers an improved user experience for developers using Vista, sources said. The Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2007, after the consumer launch of Vista, which is slated for the end of January, sources said."

Apparently there are are some issues with Vista, but can't say how well the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 works on Vista as of now, as I haven't personally tried.
