Something is not right. If you have a look at Beta 1 Installer sizes they were 10 times smaller than the Beta 2 installer sizes. :eek:

umm how do I compile in this?

Well its bigger because they all include MSDN. Download the web installer and u can see that. Cause u can pick to download and install it or not.

So really recommand the web installer.

Srry dont know thantos..only have 2003..have not tried 2005 yet..

waiting for the cd to arrive at my house next week :)

Though i am suprissed its not simply the build menu?

Oh well, too late. Downloaded VB.NET, C# and C++ ISOs. 1.5 GB just for those three. Microsoft really didn't have to include the whole MSDN in each product. They could have just put MSDN for C# in the C# installer, MSDN for VB in the VB.NET installer etc.

Well even better just a single download just for msdn. ;)

And then in the installer be able to pick which ones to install.

Then you can use it from computer to computer. Would be nice.
