vb express 2.0.50215.44 and march ctp avalon/indigo

[Richard]

Can I use the VB Express version 2.0.50215.44 (that's what vbsetup.exe
version is) with the March CTP of Avalon? I am currently running VB Express
Edition Beta 8.0.50110.28 and I want to upgrade it but also want to continue
Avalon development.

Thanks,

Richard

One more question on top of that, do Microsoft actually bother to tell you
which versions of which software are compatible?

Hi Richard,

There is a May release of Avalon which I believe is 2.0.50215.

Thanks. I have downloaded the May VB Express, Avalon & Indigo, and .Net
framework. I am currently downloading WinFX SDK May.

I have installed .Net, then VB Express, then Avalon, but the Avalon
templates are not there when I create a new project. What have I done wrong?
Or are those in the WinFX SDK?

I must admit I haven't tried it with VB Express, only Visual Studio .Net 2005 Beta2. As far as I remember the templates the SDK integrates with the Visual Studio at least regarding the help system. Not sure if the templates got installed with Avalon, but I think I installed the SDK before opening VS.NET.
