The XNA 4. Scott, You guys really need to re-evaluate your installer strategy. When you release an update you put a line in release notes about uninstalling the previous version, but there's no way to do that with one installer like a normal program, instead I have to guess which packages I'm supposed to uninstall.
Until today this was annoying but I went through it anyway but with this WP7 deb tools beta, when I uninstalled the CTP refresh, I uninstalled the emulator and VS plug in and then saw the tools and when I tried uninstalling that, the next screen asks to install those two packages back, which fails for some reason.
Is there a date for this? I'm very excited to test this new release from Microsoft! Its been too long since the last release!
Installed the beta tools on top of an existing VS Ultimate installation. Don't do that. First a bluescreen during setup don't know during which step exactly. But afterwards I could continue the installation and everything installed fine, but now when opening VS and creating new projects you can't select anything.
All project templates are gone. It would be much simpler and practical. Scott the toolkit seems to require windows vista or 7. We use windows server and vs Anyway to install it on this config? It is not clear - I am worried by previous comment about thiss install removing. NET 4! What is the approach for developers like me. Installing the tools beta didn't make VS pack up and leave town, and I'm pretty sure that Expression won't take a hike on your machine.
Why not offer the actual Windows phone 7 complete run time environment as a package we can download and install on a phone to check how it works? This seems to work well for hackers and other OS users I am excited about developing for Mobile 7, but I was disappointed to learn about the lack of standard ux functionality So although I will be developing, I don't think I will be purchasing until that is resolved.
Just noticed the re-release that includes a downloadable iso. Still no Windows Server R2 x64 Great, MS guys did you knoww that most corp dev are still under XP. This SDK is useless for most enterprise people. Immediate impact will be to delay or even cancel WP7 enterprise application in most company. Oh, and apparently you can not push hybrid application to the market as a third party dev.
