I have two development machines i use on XP

1. Visual studio c# express 2005
- instaled sp1 update
- installed dotnet 3.0 runtime distributable
- installed visual studio 2005 extentions for dotnet frame work 3.0

what else do i need to install ??
Eg do i need to install the dotnet 3.0 sdk for XP and vista ??

dotnet 3.0

projects)

Is this for a production system? If you don't mind using beta
software, I'd go for Visual Studio 2008 Express beta 2 - I've found
the beta to be very stable, and the tools for .NET 3.0 are much better
than with the 2005 extensions.

Has anyone else had problems with wpf projects crashing Visual Studio
2008 Beta 2 ?. It happens regularly for me, not sure what causes it but
it happens about 20 to 30 minutes into working on a project, then even
after restarting trying to look at the wpf ui screens crashes VS again.
