Academic edition of VS 2003 limited?


Academic edition of VS 2003 limited? Andrew Jenssen

visual studio .net general:
Is the Academic edition of VS 2003 limited to one
installation? After installing SP2 for my WinXP Pro,
VS 2003 gave a DLL initialization error. After uninstalling
and re-installing VS, it still gives the error and the
Start Page still points to the old project folders. Despite
going to Tools/Options/Environment/General/Projectst and
Solutions, and entering a path to a new folder in the window,
the Start Page continues to list projects from the old folder.
Is this due to VS being an Academic edition?

Is there a default path offerred during installation? If there
was an option, I would have taken the default and not set a
path to the new folder. If there had been a default, would it
have been taken from the registry setting that listed the old
path? IOW, is that registry setting not removed by the
uninstall?

The Academic Edition is the Professional Edition with two differences:
1. The AE comes with an extra CD with academic tools
2. The AE does not support remote debugging.

I don't believe your problems have anything to do with any limitation in the
AE.
The recent projects you see listed come from registry settings. IIRC. Have
you tried creating a new project since changing the path? Where was the
default location for the new project? It should default to your new
location.
