[Update: the public VM doesn’t have very much available disk space. VS 2010 SP1 requires 5.3 GB to install. Roadblock found.]
I’m currently installing TFS 2010 SP1 into my version of Brian Keller’s public VM. Read more about his VM here. Note that this VM expires on June 1, 2011.
Do I really want to install this? Yep. . .
The wizard started right up, and after selecting Next it asked me if I really, really wanted to do this. I agreed, and it started to do its business.
(Since I’m using the Hyper-V version of the virtual machine and I have a snapshot as a backup, I didn’t make a backup of the TFS database. If things go wrong I’ll just turn off the VM, apply the last snapshot, and start over. Nothing simpler than that.)
It took a couple of minutes to verify all the files, but now it’s installing. (I’ve mapped a network drive from my VM to the USB drive that’s attached to my host OS. That could be part of the reason it’s taking a couple of extra minutes.)
Installing the files. . .
So, what are TFS 2010 SP1 and VS 2010 SP1 going to give you? Details here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2010/12/07/vs-tfs-2010-sp1-beta-has-released.aspx and here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb385832.aspx#ServicePack1
I’m going to install VS 2010 SP1 just as soon as TFS SP1 is done. (I hope that installation order is OK. I’ll let you know if this order crashes and burns.)
UPDATE
OK. TFS SP1 has successfully installed. Now starting VS 2010 SP1 installation.
Starting the VS 2010 SP1 install . . .
And immediately I hit a snag:
Eh? What? Only 2GB of hard disk available?
OUCH. . .
Guess I’ll have to install this into a different virtual machine.
