Download Links for MIX08 Announcements

  • Artikel

Here's a consolidated list of all the key downloads you'll need to update your developer workstation to the latest and greatest technologies announced this morning:

A couple of tips:

  • The Silverlight 2 Tools release (third item above) includes the Silverlight 2 runtime and the SDK. You don't need to install the runtime separately first: just run the tools installer and you'll have everything you need.
  • The Visual Studio extensions don't work with the Express editions - make sure you've got the full Visual Studio 2008 installed before attempting to install them.
  • If you installed Silverlight 1.1 Alpha, uninstall it first, along with any related tools or SDKs before installing Silverlight 2 Beta 1. I watched someone get into a bit of a mess this morning by trying to update Silverlight 1.1 Alpha in-place. Fortunately, they were still able to uninstall and reinstall, but you're definitely best to start with a clean machine.

Have fun!

    Is the MVC preview you have linked a subset of the ASP.NET Extensions refresh?

    Did anyone else have the install of the "Tools for VS2008" prompt for the Visual Studio 2008 install disc? I thought this was weird. Fortunately I had a retail disc handy and stuck it in to complete the install. The “browse button” was looking for vs_setup.msi. I assume that this was the original install file. If you installed VS from the web or a share, you might want to locate it before you begin the install in case you run into the same problem I did.

    So we have both "Expression Studio 2 Beta (contains Blend, Design, Encoder, Media and Web)" and also "Expression Blend 2.5 March 2008 Preview" Can we install both of these? Or should we select just one version of Blend?

    Hi Ian, we aim to confuse :) Here's the deal. Moving forward, Expression Blend 2 contains support for shipping technology: that is, WPF 3.x and Silverlight 1.0. Expression Blend 2.5 is a preview of the next release after Blend 2; it runs side-by-side with Blend 2 and supports WPF 3.x, Silverlight 1.0 and Silverlight 2. You're probably best to install both together - at this point, Blend 2 is more stable than 2.5 as a development environment for WPF and Silverlight 1.0, according to my Blend buddies. Hope this helps, Tim
