In someone suggested to run as administrator in Vista. NET framework in the first place anyway!ġ. I'd prefer not to program every connection to the database kinda defeats the purpose of using the. I CANNOT get the MySQL provider to appear in the dialog box for creating a connection from within Visual Studio 2008.

Tried to get it working with both with 5.2.7 and 6.0.4 and nothing has worked. Show processes from all users, find mdm.exe, right click on it to go to services, and stop the service (in an orderly way, the way the service expects to be stopped).What is the secret to getting VS 2008 and the MySQL Connector working together? In these forums there is thread after thread about the topic with no answers :( Errors in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Item Termplates\Visual Basic\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModel VB_ASPNET.vs templates) invalid Template element(Template ID)value also other warning events regarding Unknown Attribute (_locID) and (Enable Edit of Location Field) Got to the last part of the install and looked at the event log. Yes, it is necessary to terminate mdm.exe and sidebar.exe to install SP1. Seems ridiculous considering that I can make an image of my entire HDD in about 20 minutes.ġ) Clicking aborts the SP1 installation.Ģ) SP1 installation really ridiculously slow.ģ) In addition to MDM service (Machine Debug Manager), I had to exit Vista SideBar to make SP1 happy. SP1 on the other hand, took well over 30 mintues.

I just built a brand new smokingly fast PC and to my surprise, VS 2008 only took about 10 minutes to install.


VISUAL STUDIO 2008 INSTALL PROBLEMS DOWNLOAD
Note that the EXE for installing SP1 is only 536KB, the installer itself will download the rest of the files required. Vince: It sounds like you might have experienced a download failure if it's only 1KB. The VS2008SP1MSDNENUX1506188.iso file that gets downloaded is only about 1KB. perhaps I hit the wrong "ignore" button :) I tried hitting "ignore", but the installer didn't keep going for me. However the slowest installation ever was the installation of MSDN Library that comes with VS 2008, I remember, it was really slow. Yes, the installation process was slow as well for me. When you get the running program screen showing the running programs you can simple press ignore and it will complete after the next reboot. So I guess the moral of the story is to make sure you have access to the media one way or another before you begin.įor people that don't want to kill running programs. I work remote, so I had to work with my IS support people to get the media mounted and available on the VPN so I could access it. I ended up needing to access the original Visual Studio install media. On the lists I am on I am hearing that some people run into needing the original media and others do not. After disabling this tool and stopping the Machine Debug Manager process (which restarted automatically after reboot) everything worked like a champ. In the end I realized that I had Dave's Quick Search bar running.

It reported a process ID, but there was no match in Task Manager.

Since I started the install after a reboot with no programs open the Windows Explorer puzzled me for a while.
VISUAL STUDIO 2008 INSTALL PROBLEMS PATCH
My only real issue was that the Patch Removal tool and the VS2008 installer kept complaining about Windows Explorer and the Machine Debug Manager being open. This is much better than having a doc that you have to go step-by-step to get your maching the the appropriate state. Our friends at Microsoft were very nice in providing a patch removal tool. There were only a few "odd" things I had to do to get the install to work properly. Be careful to remain patient during the install process though - the installers churned VERY SLOWLY on my machine, but eventually I had a successful install. I thought I would share the hoops I had to jump through in the event it saves you some time.
