I've started rewriting it and got sidetracked on contracts. But, in regards to your suggestion, it is a published issue with VS2008 that concurrent updates create install issues. Like you, I forced the update to Vista before VS2008 install (I did side by side). I imagine that it wouldn't be a bad idea to disable the network attachment before the install and enable it after the install so that all the updates to VS2008 and SQL can occur after the installation. Hope to see you at the party. Hi Brennan ... don't publish my site yet. I've started rewriting it and got sidetracked on contracts.
