First use of Visual Studio 2010 : the installation

Sam Beauvois — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 09:20:23 +0000

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.

Launch the auto run program

Loading screen

Click Next

Read and accept the license terms

Choose your installation mode : Full installation (takes more than 6 GB) or Custom installation

I choose Custom

Select the features you want :

(notice that “Microsoft SharePoint Developer Tools” are integrated)

I just don’t want Dotfuscator community to be installed, so I uncheck it

I keep the rest because I want to test some features

Click Install

Installation running :

After less than 10 minutes, the installation asked me to restart my computer:

I click “Restart Now”

When restarting, a loading form is showing

Then the setup continue

After about 45 minutes, the setup is finished

You can choose to install the documentation, but I choose to click on the “Finish” button.

The installation windows appears :

I Click Exit

Visual Studio 2010 is now installed

The installation takes me about one hour, and no problem occurred.

Now I can launch the product

I choose my default environment settings (I used to choose Visual C# Development settings so I pick this one).

I Click on “Start Visual Studio”

First time loading form

Visual studio is up and running

Help and documentation are on the start page:

A What’s new section is available on the start page :

Some other links are available :

Creating application with Visual Studio
Extending Visual Studio
Community and Learning Resources

Some resources for Windows, Web, Cloud, Office,SharePoint and Data development are accessible too.

Next step : migration of a Visual studio 2008 solution !
