First use of Visual Studio 2010 : the installation

Posted April 16th, 2010 in .NET, Tools, Visual Studio by Sam Beauvois

Yesterday I received a visual studio 2010 Ultimate edition from work.

I’ve already test the  express edition when it was in beta phase, but it’s not the same …

So, let’s install it !

I install it on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop with 4 GB Ram and a Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2,53 GHz) running  Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate edition.
