Check for Updates - Errors Encountered


Check for Updates - Errors Encountered Bob Heitzman

vb.net upgrade: I have VB.Net Standard (MS Development Environment 7.0.9466 in Help).

When I click on Help, Check for Updates I get an error message the Visual
Studio .Net setup encountered errors while attemping to download required
files. Check your Web and brosers configuration....

Check for Updates does not appear in help so there is no clue as to what
settings they are referring to.

How do I obtain VB.Net updates or how do I get the Help, Check for Updates
to work?

TIA

Hi Bob,

I'm not sure exactly why Visual Studio was not able to connect to the
Internet but you can always go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/default.aspx and
download any updates mannually.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs6/sp5/faq.aspx
appears to exclude VB.Net Standard edition. Do you think this is correct? C#
Standard and J++ Standard are covered.

I suppose I can install SP 5 and see what happens.

Ignore my last - that link was to VB6 version of VS.

Since none of the seraches return anything about updates to VB.Net Standard
I guess MS has decided to ignore the product. Another throw away I guess.

Any prospects of a new retail version of VB.Net Standard the uses the 1.1
Framework? I suppose I can plunk down another $100 - MS seems to need the
cash I guess.

We did not have any SP yet for VS .NET so we did not have it either for VB
.NET, the updates that you can install are the same for both and they are
SP for the Framework, wich is the same in VS .NET and VB .NET Standard, You
can install the both of Microsoft .NET Framework Service Packs from this
link http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/
You can install the new Framework v1.1 too from this other link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/howtoget/default.aspx

Sincerily

As for the answer of you question about the next retail version of VB .NET
Standard using Framework 1.1, There is already a version Visual Basic .NET
2003.
