Visual Studio 2010 - Service Pack 1 Beta Rollback?

Question

Ich habe kürzlich visual Studio 2010 Premium an meinem Arbeitscomputer installiert.Ich bewerte die Installation der VS2010 SP1-Beta, um viele kleine Probleme anzupassen, die ich in der Verwendung von VS2010 angemeldet habe.

Aber ich weiß nicht, ob die SP1-Beta rollbar ist oder wenn er alle VS2010 neu installieren muss, wenn der letzte SP1 zu uns ankommt.

Könnte mir jemand von der Gelegenheit beraten, dies zu tun?

vielen dank

This is a copy from the readme file at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=207141 :

2.2. Uninstalling

2.2.1. On computers that have earlier versions of Visual Studio

2.2.1.1. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta removes features in Visual Studio Tools for Office and Visual Studio Tools for SharePoint

Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta removes the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) Design Time and some features of Visual Studio Tools for SharePoint. The Office and Sharepoint features in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta are major upgrades and have different product guids than those in the Visual Studio 2010 original release. Therefore, when SP1 Beta is removed, the features are removed, and the Visual Studio 2010 original-release versions must be reinstalled.

To resolve this issue:

In Windows Control Panel, click Uninstall a program. In the list of programs, right-click Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and then click Uninstall/Change. In the Maintenance Mode dialog box, click Next and then click Add or Remove Features. Select the following features. Microsoft Office Developer Tools (x86) or (x64) for Office development. Microsoft SharePoint Developer Tools for SharePoint development. Click Update. 2.2.1.2. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta may not donwload all required packages

When Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta is uninstalled by using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, a prompt for source may be displayed. To avoid this, run setup.exe from the original location, and uninstall by using Setup Maintenence Mode.

To resolve this issue:

Navigate to the original installation location for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta . Run setup.exe. Select Remove.

Update

Regarding your comment below, yes, I installed VS 2010 SP1 Beta, here are the problems I got:

• I couldn't install Visual Studio SDK - Fixed - I found there was newer version for VS2010SP1Beta that I didn't realize at first.

• I could not install Phone Developer SDK - Fixed as unrelated - I contacted @ScottGU and they said this is test scenario, I downloaded again and it worked as a charm

• Few issues about Resharper or so (can't remember exactly, but minor for sure) - Fixed - I just got a recent build of Resharper.

If this leads to the question "Should I install it?", I'd say, if you need any of the new features in it (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg442059.aspx for listing), then just install it. It's OK. If not, wait for RTM.

BTW,
If you want to discuss your specific SP1 issues instead of uninstall, no problem in that as well :)

Answer 2

From Scott Hanselman's blog:

•If you install VS2010 SP1 beta, don't uninstall it if you can avoid it. Rather, wait for SP1 final which will upgrade your beta cleanly and leave you in the best state.
