After having a look to the latest release of Longhorn, and wishing to test some of the new features of VS.NET 2005 CTP over the 4074 build, I realized that the installer of VS don't allow to install the CTP version in any version of Longhorn.
I have been working with MSI files and some time ago used a tool from the Platform SDK to modify an installation and allow it to install in any host OS. And that's just what I have done with the VS.NET 2005 Installer. I have removed the Launch Condition that checks for a version number different from Longhorn's one. Generated a new MSI file, tried it on my Longhorn 4074 VPC2004, and it perfectly run on it. Have a look to the screen capture:
I used a patch utility to create an .exe file that will path the vs_setup.msi file of the CTP release. I have only tested that with my patcher, you can install the Visual Studio 2005 on any Longhorn build, but have not checked that it doesn't crashes the system files... So use it at your own risk. I have installed on my VPC, but previously made a backup of the Virtual Disk... :-P

I downloaded the patch and ran it. It said that all files were successfully patched but when I ran the msi installer, I still get the error that it is not allowed in LH. Is there a separate MSI file that gets created that I need to run? The whidbey installer is already on my LH4074 machine and I also noticed that there is absolutely no difference in the patched file and the original MSI file. Timestamps and sizes are still exactly the same. Should this be the case?

No, you just have to place the .exe file in the same folder as vs_setup.msi and run it. It will patch that file.

How to Install VS.NET 2005 Community Technology Preview on Longhorn 4074
# KNOWN ISSUE AND HOW TO SOLVE IT
5/18/2004 11:26 AM |
After the installation of Whidbey 2005 CTP on the Longhorn WinHEC build, there should be an error constantly running of EXPLORER.EXE. This error is because of the installation of the new .NET Framework that comes with Whidbey (v2.0.40301) it's different that that the version that comes with Longhorn (v2.0.31113)
To solve this issue, go to C:\Windows and create an empy file called EXPLORER.EXE.CONFIG
Edit that file and paste the following XML inside, save the file, and restart your longhorn.
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.31113" />
</startup>
</configuration>
Hope you all enjoy it!!

Sorry, but i have the same problem of Tolitz, it doesn't patch the vs_setup.exe. It always says that the "file was already patched", or something like that, and the installation keeps checking ths OS. Any solution ? Thanks.

Anyone have the same problem? I've tested the patcher.exe and it seems working in my computer, tried the install after it, and everything is ok.
It can maybe be realted to the patch creator application. If anyone knows a good freeware app to do patches, please tell me and I'll repack the whole thing.

Hi all, please check the update now for all those of you having problems with the previous release.
I've used another tool (Microsoft's Patch Applicattion Utility) to create the patch. And it's better now.
Let me know if anything goes wrong. Bye and Enjoy!

Can someone give me a list of all files in wcu\MDAC9\mdac\x86\ folder, and subfolders, so that I can make a check. Thank you in advance!

I got the same C00E4014 error, but the installation was successful after that point. I don't know if it's because I left the installation options at the default the second time around (the first time I added in some missing options--although later after it successfully installed I ran the installer again and chose to add in those missing components and that worked just fine), or if it's because I had copied the contents of the install DVD to my harddrive (so I could apply the patch) so I was installing from the hard drive the second time around (my money's on this one). Either way, as I said, it worked fine the second time I tried the install.

I've just finished installing Whidbey Beta 1 on LH 4074.
It was pretty straightforward, with the exception of the explorer.exe failing after the v2.0.40607 framework was installed.
This was fixed by creating the explorer.exe.config file, but with one gotcha:
You need to set the supportedRuntime AND the requiredRuntime to v2.0.31113. I basically copied the csc.ese.config file from %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.31113 to explorer.exe.config and everything was swell.
Everything else worked without any further ado.

7/28/2004 5:24 PM |
I haven't tried yet to install Beta1 on LH4074 because I'm out of office/house/country and don't have too much time here...
Have you directly installed the Beta1 or did you patched any installer? On my first try I got an alert box telling that it cannot be installed on LH
# re: How to Install VS.NET 2005 Community Tech Preview on Longhorn 4074
7/28/2004 10:51 PM |
Installed it without patching. There were no MsgBoxen or any other error - with the exception of the explorer.exe glitch.
One gotcha: the LH SDK only installed rudimentary templates into Beta1 - only the Indigo templates showed up and they had to be tweaked by hand (add System.MessageBus reference).

Excellent page.. I have been looking for a solution to the explorer.exe error that I was getting after installing VJ# 2005 Express Beta1 on LH4074. I added the explorer.exe.config file before I re-installed and it without issue.

I had the same explorer.exe error. I did not use the modified msi at all--I simply added an explorer.exe.config file to c:\windows as described above and put this in it (note both runtime versions must be there for it to work):
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.31113" />
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.40607" />
