VS.NET 2005 Beta2 and .NET Framework 2.0 release !

[olrt]

Hello,
I have a computer with VS.NET 2005 Beta2 (Team Edition) installed on
it.
I would like to uninstall .NET Framework 2.0 Beta and install .NET
Framework 2.0 release.
Is it risky ?

Thanks for your answers.
Olivier.

Anyway you'll have as using a beta release once RTM is out is likely not a
good idea.

The uninstall documentation is at :

As the various beta and CTP releases of VS 2005 each were tied to
concurrently released versions of .NET Framework v2, I'd say installing the
release version is quite likely to break your VS 2005.

Does this mean that you also break your VS 2005 release
when you upgrade your .NET Framework V2 installation with
the latest one ???

Likely, was also the same for SQL Server beta that required the
corresponding framework beta version etc...

IMO this is a bad idea. I don't think this is legal plus you could run into
issues (such as beta expiration date which is likely). I would really
upgrade to final (Visual Studio Express is free thought simplified compared
with the Team edition).

What I said does not apply to the release version.
If you have Visual Studio .NET 2003, you have already experienced installing
SP 1 for .NET Framework v1.1 with no bad effects on Visual Studio .NET 2003.
