How to waste a Saturday Morning.
Bought a copy of Visual Studio 10 and try install it on a 64 bit version of Windows 7. Fail, after a lot of mucking around and forum trawling (lots of other people having similar problems), uninstalling, removing stuff, updating, it still failed.
After several hours of cursing Bill Gates and the guy that replaced him I tried the Visual Studio 10 web install on the MS’ web site. Success.
Conclusion, Microsoft is shipping broken Visual Studio 10 DVDs; why else would they have a web install version?
