Just wondering when we can expect to see support for VS 2011?
I have a VM currently installing the beta to play with, it may or may not be a big job, so I cannot give a real time estimate at this time.
But before it’s full release, yes? Not sure if you’re aware, but it’s got a go-live licence now too.
Hi Sean
Yesterdays update release includes support for the VS11 Beta.
Hi - I can confirm a several items of interest here:
1) FinalBuilder Professional 7.00.1864 successfully builds projects with Visual Studio 2011 Professional Beta. I'm running it on Windows 8 Server.
2) FinalBuilder Professional 6 and 7.00.1864 can be installed on Windows 8 Consumer Preview and on Windows 8 Server.
3) Both FB products require .NET 2.0, which is bundled within .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
- Installing on Win 8 Consumer Preview involves using Windows Update to install the .NET framework - it was easy.
- On Win 8 Server it was more difficult to install .NET, than on Win8 Consumer Preview. It could not be installed by double-clicking the EXE from Microsoft's site.
- Per a Microsoft forum (below), some users could install via ServerManager; others had to use a command line.
- I ended up installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 Server via PowerShell command line:
- From an admin PowerShell window:
install-windowsfeature -name Net-Framework-Core -source D:\sources\sxs -Confirm
- Substitute your path for "D:\sources", to wherever your Win8 install source is located.
-
You may want to add the "-WhatIf" option to preview the install actions.
This MS forum thread helped me diagnose and install the .NET Framework on Windows 8 Server:
Best,
