Microsoft release both the redistributable and the SDK of beta 2 of the .NET Framework 2.0. And making things utterly complete, you can choose between 32 and 64-bit (IA64 and x64) editions. Click on the title to go to the downloadpage.
Most people would want the 32bit versions. The SDK is about 317MByte, the redist is about 23MByte, and as before, you need the redist before you can use the SDK.
I stopped using .Text as my blogging engine a long time ago. Here’s a screenshot why. In case you didn’t know: Scott is the CREATOR of .Text.
When you need to create some temporary files, you can create them in %TEMP%. If you don’t delete them yourself, some other program or the user will, since the directory defined in %TEMP% is meant to store TEMPORARY files.
Now read this post about the Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server beta 2 setup. Tell me they are not seriously blaming the anti-virus software for deleting files from %TEMP%? Guys, this is Microsoft not knowing where %TEMP% is for. How f*cked up is that? Any decent installation program that needs a reboot creates a folder somewhere on C:, and deletes this folder after the reboot is done and the installation has completed. Not Microsoft: please disable your Antivirus software if you’re going to install TFS. This is seriously wrong. I sure hope they will have their act together before the “release”.
