Title: MSVC 2010 Express Beta Editions
Post by: Clyde on April 14, 2010

Are there any peoples that are using the beta versions of Visual Studio 2010 Express? And have you found they work ok ( any bugs )?
 
Any one know when the full versions are due?
 
Cheers.

The full version of VS2010 Professional came out yesterday.  I will be installing it on my dev systems to try it out.  I don't know about Express versions.

They won't fix the problems you're having with ptc though :P

Cool, have just found out that the express editions are out of beta too:
http://www.microsoft.com/express (http://www.microsoft.com/express)

Does anyone know if I need to uninstall VSC++ 2008 Express before the 2010 edition? And is it as simple as uninstalling a regular program, or does it leave folders / settings that need removing somehow?

They can be installed side by side.

You might want to look at QuickCG (http://members.gamedev.net/lode/projects/quickcg/). It is somewhat like PTC but has a bunch more stuff to it. It is based on SDL. I have it working in both VC Express and Code::Blocks w/ MinGW.

Setting up SDL in CB is quite easy, VC takes a bit more work, but isn't too hard. You can follow the instructions for SDL on the CG page just substitute the Dev C++ with CB. For VC I found this (http://www.lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/windows/msvsnet0508e/index.php).

I really like CG. I am using for all my stuff now.
