>>>Hello,

>>>I just downloaded SQL 2008 Developer from MSDN and tried to install. The install failed, saying I needed to install SP1 for VS2008. I checked MSDN and SP1 for VS2008 is still in beta.

>>>Am I missing something here? I really don't want to install beta on my machine.

>>I'm not sure why they call it a beta, maybe because it had stuff in it that worked with an as yet unreleased product (sql2008). I haven't had any trouble with it. But then, I consider *all* MS software a beta <g>
