Orcas, The Bootstrapper, and Beyond

  • [アーティクル]

Well we shipped Visual Studio 2005, I took a little breather, and now I am back in my office thinking "what's next".  As much as us here at Microsoft wish we could just go back to working on the next version and making it even better, we are stuck in a waiting game.  What's next?  What's the next killer feature to add? 

Unfortunately only you can answer that.  Yes, you.  As we ramp up on our Orcas (the next version of Visual Studio) planning we require a great deal of custom input, in order to make sure we are making products that truely help people.  So what would you like to see the Bootstrapper do that it doesn't already?  If you have any feedback don't hesitate to use that contact link!

Currently we are planning on publishing the following packages in an out of band release:

  • Localized versions of the core Bootstrapper packages
  • 64-bit package of the .Net Framework
  • 64-bit package of SQL Server Express

And for Orcas:

  • Unicode support

But the rest is totally up to you.

    I just wanted to let you all know that I really appreciate your feedback, good and bad. I'll definitely forward your thoughts onto our PM to do everything I can to get rid of your hassles in Orcas.

    Thanks again,

    I would like to see a generic "MSBuild" project type in visual studio.

    Right now there is no spot to put generic MSBuild projects - things that don't fit into the current Visual Studio model. Bootstrapper and WiX projects come to mind.

    It would be great to just have a project type that consists of nothing more than the XML MSBuild project file and some file dependencies added underneath. It would make it a LOT easier to do source control...
