Installation crashes Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Hi guys,

I just tried installing the latest Beta, and during the installation of the prerequisites (the J# and other bits), both instances of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 that I had open crashed. The error was "Microsoft Visual C# IntelliSense has stopped working".

I've got both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 installed, running on 64bit Vista.

Not sure if this is a known issue or not. Installation still succeeded, so not a big one, just felt a bit nasty!

Cheers

James

    Just a question,

    "during the installation of the prerequisites (the J# and other bits), both instances of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 that I had open crashed"

    this indicates that you installed whilst running multiple instances of the IDE, why would you do that ?

    if you uninstall and then install the software without the IDE running do you still experience the problem ?

    I have just run the beta install on Vista.64 and experienced no issues with the IDE's closed.
