.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / November 2005MSDN Oct on VS2005
Hi! I've just installed VS2005. It comes with a MSDN library. Is this library the same as the MSDN subscription October 2005 library, or should I install that on top? markus ----------------------------- Markus Walther (1064954) Oslo, Norway They are totally different formats - so yes, you need MSDN for VS 2005  SignatureMichael Tissington http://www.oaklodge.com http://www.tabtag.com > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Markus Walther (1064954) > Oslo, Norway I need both - is that what youre saying? markus ----------------------------- Markus Walther (1064954) Oslo, Norway > They are totally different formats - so yes, you need MSDN for VS 2005 > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> Markus Walther (1064954) >> Oslo, Norway No, just VS 2005 MSDN although MS seem to be still transitioning information to the new format SignatureMichael Tissington http://www.oaklodge.com http://www.tabtag.com >I need both - is that what youre saying? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>> Markus Walther (1064954) >>> Oslo, Norway I do not think you NEED both. However, both will co-exist on one PC, so if you want to why not? Clearly, only the VS2005 MSDN is available from within VS2005 but both would be available outside of that. If you don't find what you want in the one, try the other. Mike Bernstein >I need both - is that what youre saying? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>> Markus Walther (1064954) >>> Oslo, Norway You can limit the vs2005 version to include only (mostly) the vs2005 stuff. The regular msdn has practically nothing on vs2005. I put both in. You might get away with just the vs2005 version, but the regular msdn doesn't have those pointless expand-mes all over the place that the vs2005 has, making the msdn version much easier to use. Put the vs2005 version on for the vs2005 docs (rarely have I used it) put the regular msdn on for regular use. And hope they don't screw the regular one up like the vs2005 one. ha C:\msdn>dir 2005oct /s Total Files Listed: 1756 File(s) 1,723,215,249 bytes 5 Dir(s) C:\msdn>dir msdn8.0 /s Total Files Listed: 334 File(s) 834,742,865 bytes 44 Dir(s) Signature40th Floor - Software @ http://40th.com/ iPlay : the ultimate audio player for mobiles parametric eq, xfeed, reverb; all on a mobile Hello Markus, I agree with Michael --- they are different product. if you need document for languages or usage specials for vs2005 (eg. C++/CLI ), you need to install this version of MSDN. For system development, you will need MSDN subscription October 2005 library. And you can install both of them in the same machine, they are different and compatible with each other. In addition, if you meet any problem installing it, please don't hesitate to let us know.
