Hello @Saad

The few times we have heard about the problem you describe have been when there was an issue with the .NET Framework. I would first recommend trying to go to your PC Settings (Settings in the Charm Bar, and Change PC Settings at the bottom) or search for Change PC Settings in the start menu. Try the "Refresh your PC without affecting your files".

If that doesn't work, we'll need to dig a bit deeper, and you can contact my team at vscss AT Microsoft dot com

HTH,

David

@Dave. I would like that to change as it is bad for the "ecosystem": developers should be tratead as 1st class citizens.

With due respect, I want to ask for a problem. I want to develop for windows 8 but a hurdle comes in my way and I am unable to solve it. Previously I had release preview of windows 8 and I upgraded it to windows pro 8. It works really fine but when I try to install visual studio, the setup screen splashes and disappears. The iso file is monted but unable to install it. Have tried run that as a administrator and much more. I hope some one help me and I might work on windows 8 application development.

Thank you!

@Marcello Everything Microsoft has done since XP and Visual Studio 6.0 has been utter trash and their condescending arrogant attitude towards developers and users is sickening (including SOMA and the VS Team.)

I enjoy using my droid, chrome and mac. After work if I ever get the urge to feel the Microsoft experience I will go outside and slam my hand in the car door.

@Dave. I am using the pre-"wordy" era of MSFT online books which reads as "October 2001 MSDN Library". It includes all the documentation needed for C++ development (C runtime functions and MFC classes) and also the Visual Source Safe 6.0d documentation: samples, code. Very clear and concise.

@Jean-Francois - A large portion of developers prefer working with an environment in their native language, the percentage varies per countries. We have created the language packs as a result of our world-wide developers wanting to work with multiple language environments. Eman Shaheen - Localization project manager at Microsoft.

@Marcello agreed it won't make you a better programmer but it should make you more productive at a minimum not slow you down, Visual Studio hampers productivity with unfinished features, bugs and poorly implemented classes. I personally find the MSFT book online are too wordy and not enough concise real world information. Soma / Microsoft should be ashamed not proud!

When will MS support non-US English (British, Australian etc.)?

@Soma: The documentation in Visual Studio has always been outstanding and something that should make Msft very proud. @Dave: I am not a Msft employee. The IDE and tools you use will not make you a better programmer. I still use Visual C++ 6.0 (after all these years).
