Framework 2.0 breaks VS2005b2

[Terry Olsen]

I'm guessing that the release version of framework 2.0 isn't compatible with
VS2005b2. After installing it, VS crashes upon launch and my applications
compiled under the beta version of the framework crash on certain
situations.

Terry,

Did you use the uninstall tool?

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/expressrtm/uninstall/

The link is above right on the page in that.

I hope this helps,

Cor

No it isn't. You should get a release version of VS too.

Terry,

As you'vce already guessed, you do need to uninstall your beta version and
install the RTM version to get things working.

The final version of .NET Framework 2.0 will work together with the final
version of Visual Studio 2005, and the Express editions. However, it's not
guaranteed that the beta version of VS 2005 works together with newer
versions of the .NET Framework. So, either reinstall VS 2005 Beta 2 + .NET
Framework 2.0 Beta 2, or if you are an MSDN subscriber download the final
version of VS 2005, which will come with .NET Framework 2.0 final version.
In a few days VS 2005/.NET 2.0 will officially be launched and the final
versions will be made available on DVD/CD.

Beta Framework = beta products
RC Framework = RC products
RTM Framework = RTM products

There is a dependency. The RTM versions of Visual Studio products warn you
to uninstall everything prior to installing. You will not get this warning
from the Framework.
