Creating a Development VM - Part 6

Tutorial Sections:

• Part 1: Setting up the VM
• Part 2: Preparing Windows
• Part 3: Setting up the Database
• Part 4: Installing the Content Manager
• Part 5: Validating the Content Manager
• Part 6: Installing Visual Studio

Installing Visual Studio 2010

Map the VM CD/DVD drive to the ISO file with the Visual Studio installation files

Launch the installer.

Click Next

Select to perform a Custom install and click next

Uncheck all the boxes for things you never use: Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual F#, Graphics Library, etc.

I only use Visual Studio for c# and ASP.NET development, so I only install those options

Go for a coffee while it installs.

Click Finish

You may want to install windows updates (again).

I tend to set Visual Studio to the C# developer settings, you may disagree - that's fine.

Download Eclipse (make sure it is the 64-bit version)
