Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 – How to get it in NZ

  • Artikel

The great thing about Beta 2 is that we allow customers to go live using it – a great local example being Intergen and Bexhill. So the question is how do I get it…

Download:

We have released the code for Beta 2 on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. ISO images for these products are available:

  • Visual SourceSafe
  • Visual Studio 2005 Standard
  • Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition Test Load Agent
  • Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server
  • Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite

If you don’t have an MSDN Universal subscription – then go get one so you can get these updates and be upgraded for free to a Team System Edition when they are released.

 

Get a CD Mailed Out:
I will put in place a mechanism to mail out DVD’s to people based in New Zealand. I will have a post up on how this will be done within the next two weeks. I’d suggest that this will be a quick way to get the ‘bits’ without downloading ISO’s and having to burn them yourself.

 

How Do I build It?
Once you have the ‘bits’ follow this updated Install document for Team Foundation Server. I should warn you that it mentions a new CTP of SQL 2005 that’s not quite available yet so wait another week or so for that update as well.

    Will the beta be included in the May or June MSDN CD/DVD mailout?

    It might be on the MSDN Dowload site but the best bet is to order on the URL for NZ :)
