| | Visual Studio 2008 I have been trying to install it on my desktop, new, but it won't go. It says that I need Windows XP SP 2. I tried Professional and regular, and both said the same thing. I even tried an official disk, and it still said the same thing. So, I decided to try it--installing Windows XP--after backing up my computer! That disk said I had the wrong OS! Now, I don't know what to do--except bug Microsoft until they respond. I am sorry about that, everybody. I'll start it now... |

| | Re: Visual Studio 2008 The last time I checked, Visual Studio 2008 is still in beta and some of the kinks are still not worked out. Even when its launched in February of 2008, it will still not be ready. I recommend you report the issue to appropriate group handing the Visual Studio BETA Program. You might get answers posting the following ng: microsoft.public.vsnet.setup -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "richdavid" <richdavid@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:929B014E-289C-4621-9411-3B61352511A5@xxxxxx Quote: >I have been trying to install it on my desktop, new, but it won't go.
