MicroSoft VC 2010

Hi Rubber Duck Fans:

After you down load 220 MB VC 2010. The SQL package did not fly did
not install tried it twice.Windows update
will require a measly 330 MB download and get the help
files have to be down loaded Also the first is 750 MB help file.
Are we ready to Say Certain unprintable words Yet!
This is not an improvement on VC 2008 , VC 2010 help is
not there so use help from 2008 instead,

I didn't care for the new help files using a different viewer than dexplore.

I think M.S. thinks that hard drives grow on trees.

 Hi Magnum:

At Microsoft Hard Drives do Grow in  Redmond, Washington, USA Server Tree Buildings?
They the buildings in Redmond with holes in the roof brcause they did not knew trees
grow up! also did not know trees can grow outside. Trees are things the workers trip
over on the way from the parking lot. The squirrels are so busy fixing mistakes they
have to get the workers to get peanuts.
The viewer is just template and to help us
they will let US down load all day and night long
for days at a time to drive traffic numbers up.
Ease of Use is not a Requirement.
Accurate help  info not a Requirerment.

See if you can download a DVD ISO of their SDK stuff. Beats endless downloads.

Hi Hutch: Yes it is great idea but every time I put a DVD or burn a CD I lose
my CD drive. I have to re boot. I think it's codecs thing but I don't really
understand it!

Hi herge,

Kindly, could you explain the case? You lose the VS 2010 DVD or the CD as I understand.

 Hi Vortex:

If I burn a CD I lose my CD drive.
If I play a DVD i e movie and I know it was readable.

I play a lot of civ4 and when Iput  civ4 in CD drive it can Not see
civ4 disk, in fact it prompts to put disk in?

Solution re boot.

Hi Rubber Duck Fans:

The first update will be twice the size of VC 2010 i e
we are talking about 530 MB and SP1. VC 2010 was
only 220 mB.

The down Loads never end. Also stay away from
the help files it will eat your hard drive in no
time at all.

530 Mb is too much.

Hi Vortex:

Also the VC 2010 SP1 was a right uprintable word to download.
It took me about four tries before it was successful.

I know I shouldn't say anything here but reading this thread, I just have to say it's painfully obvious you've got serious problems with your system and need to get them sorted out before you try anything major like running Visual C++.

I can download the SDK as an ISO in about 8 minutes and have it installed and running along with VC++ in under 15...

You don't have to burn the ISO... use an ISO extractor to pull out the files into a folder ...

http://www.magiciso.com/index.htm  or http://www.izarc.org/

But get the other crap sorted out first.

Since the iso is big for downloading at 56K, I would recommend a download manager that can resume the file download.

Winrar and 7zip can open iso files.
