I have installed VST on my notebook and my workstation.

When ever I start e.g. on Notebook the VST, close it  and afterwards on
workstation, then this startup display and delay occurs.

Example:
- New Install
- Start on Notebook -> initial screen (OK)
- Start on Notebook -> (OK)
- Start on PC -> initial screen (OK)
- Start on PC -> (OK)
- Start on PC -> (OK)
- Start on Notebook -> initial screen (Failure)
- Start on PC -> initial screen (Failure)

Thanks

Hi itisralph,

Sorry, I'm not sure I have understood your issue completely. What do you
mean by "VST". Is it Visual Studio Team Suit for Test? I never heard we
will meet issue if installed it both on Notebook and workstation. Did I
misunderstand anything here? By the way, does these two machines connected
by network(Lan)? What if you disconnect your NoteBook from the network?

Have a great day,
Sincerely,
Wen Yuan

VST == Visual Studio (2005 Professional)

The are somehow connected. I guess they are connected via a file.
But which file?

Best Regards Ralph

Addon:
The two installation of Visual Studio .NET 2005 are used by one user. It
seems that Visual Studio stores some configuration data on the home drive of
the user and if this config data ist altered by using the software on an
different computer, it cannot be used again on the original one.

Hi Ralph,
Thank for your reply.

According to your description, I understand you have installed Visual
Studio 2005 Professional on NoteBook and workstation. However, when you
open Visual Studio 2005 on NoteBook and then open another Visual Studio
2005 on work station, delay will occurse. Did I misunderstand anything
here? I still cannot image what file they are somehow connected. Could you
provide some detailed information about how did you install Visual Studio
2005 on your NoteBook and Workstation? I'm afraid there must be something
wrong...

Sincerely,
Wen Yuan

Hi Ralph,

As Matthias said, Visual Studio 2005 will store configuration data on the
drive. In general, it should be <%Document and
settings%>\useraccount\Visual Studio 2005\Settings folder. The file named
CurrentSettings. Vssettings is your setting file. Visual Studio will load
it when it starts. However, I'm still not sure how you installed Visual
Studio. Have you resolved the issue so far? If not, could you clarify what
do you mean by "Parallel Installation" for me? We can perform further
research.

Have a great day,
Sincerely,
Wen Yuan

Hello WenYuan,

the problem does no longer occur when the config-location is moved to a
local storage location (example: c:/userdata/...). I don't like this solution
very much but it works this way. It would be nicer if the settings can be
used by two instances (installations) of Visual Studio).

Best Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your feedback.

By the way, I suggest you may install SP1. Many product issues have been
addressed in this Service Pack. The installation is time consuming,
however, it will save you much time when trouble-shooting some issue which
has already been resolved by Microsoft.

If you are working with Vista, please also install update for Windows Vista

Hi Wen Yuan,

some people at our site already installed sp1 but it happened at one
computer that additional problems with precompiled header appeared. After the
deinstallation of the service pack was everything fine again. Another
collegue reported that the build process within his Visual Studio became
terribly slow as soon as he installed the Service Pack 1. It worked fine
again, after the removal.

We will use the solution with the changed configuration location of visual
studio because this works fine up to now. Thanks for your replies.

Best Regards,
Matthias
