Express Edition Release Candidates

Hello

Will there be any Visual Studio Express Edition Release Candidates and when will they be available

Also if you could make them available to the general public not just subscribers that would be great.

thanks

Jason D.

    well, why did I have it installed then and it showed RC in about box

  • MarcoB

    Jason -

    There is not a Release Candidate version available for the Express Editions, other than the slightly older August CTP which is available at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/get/default.aspx#express.  The good news is that the *final* version will be availble in just under 6 weeks!

    actually, there was a left over folder in the microsoft.net\framework64 folder - build number was 2.0.50727

  • Martin Dolphin

    Certainly looks like a late build version with that sort of build number.

    If the link is not available any more that may be a sign that it shouldnt have been publicly available.

    Unless Your running into any issues with Beta 2 there is not a great deal of feature difference between the two.   And as we are only about a month away from the final release you dont have too long to wait.

    Are you sure the it was a Release Candidate of the Express Builds    What was the Build number.

    If so, the person who put up the link may have realized that this wasnt a good idea as Microsoft were not putting out to the public any Release Candidates of the Express SKU's and therefore may have pulled the link.

    I'm sure Luke, knows about what was officially released to the public (being as though he is a Program Manager at Microsoft).  But he doesn't know where you specifically downloaded it from and who put up the link.

  • AlExtjAi

    hm, I don't remember the exact build number, I think it was something with 2.0.7xxx but I'm pretty sure that it said RC and not August CTP.

  • ryulite

    I wish I could see them :(

  • Michael007

    Somewhere, they are available. Someone from MSDN blogs was giving a link and I actually downloaded and installed. Then I switched back to Beta2 and now don't find the download link anymore :/

  • puneetjain83

    well, actually are some issues in beta2 that are fixed in RC which are important for me
