Visual Studio 2005 preview is out

[Mr.S]

Yes, VS 2005 was out a month ago on irc.betasirc.net
(devenv.exe - v8.0.40301.9) with NET Framework v2.0.40301.9

Old versions of NET Framework will not work with this release
v1.2.30703 �C from VS 2004
v2.0.31113 - leaked
v2.0.40226 - leaked

VS2002(7.0) = 1.0
VS2003(7.1) = 1.1
VS2004(8.0) = 1.2
VS2005(8.0) = 2.0

If you have VS 2004 on you machine, you would need to uninstall VS 2004 this version and v1.2.30703 Framework:
Reason being: v1.2.30703 and v2.0.40301 are using same registry setting and VS 2004 does not support v2.0.40301

Regarding MSDN on 2005: Microsoft pushed out a new MSDN scheme which looks like it is not supported by old VS 2003.

Satyric0n:

I'd upload it to the FTP��

Can you check your upload speed from your site?
For some strange reason for the past month I can��t get a good upload speed. If your can get more than 15kBps it will be much faster. Then I can delete mine to make more space on ftp drive. Meanwhile I will resume my upload but it��ll take some time.
Fastest way to get VS2005 is from IRC.

PS:
Just a suggestion, before installation make backup:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared
C:\WINDOWS\system32

Sorry, man, I'm probably stupid, but I cannot find it on ftp...

My upload speed is 30-33k/sec. I would be happy to upload this, but in the interest of not wasting FTP space, I will wait until Aaron deletes your unfinished upload before I start. So, to make it official...

Aaron, would you mind deleting the /incoming/Microsoft.Visual.Studio.2005.CTP folder on the FTP so I can reupload from scratch?

Regards,
Satyric0n

[Mr.S]

I will stop uploading for now,
You can start upload now and if you get good speed just continue, and then create Dir in /incoming/Microsoft.Visual.Studio.2005.CTP/ like �� Admin, Please Delete All��.

Thank you for upload, many members will very happy.

Guys, I'm also curious about one thing. What about MSDN to 2005? Will usual 2003/2004 MSDN work or it is not backwards compatiable (usual M$ habbit...)

Remember that this is a long way from a final release, ...but I think it's fairly stable.

I don't think there is a VS 2004 as such, is there?

I think it's just VS 2003 + 2004 MSDN, and updates.
