Installation of Visual studio 2010 fails if you are running Windows7 and have .NET 3.5 installed in the Windows components.

Goto control Panel / Programs etc. and choose the Windows Apps and untick the .NET 3.5

The Installation will not complete succesfully

NOTE: it has a none critical error if you have Silverlight 3 SDK already Installed

Mike,

About the MSDN re-design: I like the new look in every respect except one. On the old site, you could easily tell when you guys had a new blog post because the latest blog headlines appeared underneath each of your "cartoons". On this new site, I have to click into each profile to see if there's a new blog post.

It's a bit of a minor annoyance, that's all.

Hi James. I agree :). Not sure whether that was a factor of the re-design or the need to free up some space now there are 4 of us on there. I'll feed it back though. Thanks! Mike
