I have on machine (Windows XP) this installed :
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
And I need to upgrade to this version :
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
What should I install?
Thank you a lot!
The latest service pack for Visual Studio 2008 is SP1:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10986
And there is a Roll-up pack to connect to the latest version of Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online. This also contain minor fixes for other Visual Studio 2008 features and is highly recommended to be installed, even if you're not using TFS.

I haven't tried installing it either on windows 8.
I need to modify a program which uses a crystal report 2005 (w/c i think is included on the vs2005 professional installer)
It should work just fine after installing the required service packs and patches:
Visual Studio 2005
Visual Studio 2005 SP1
Visual Studio 2005 Update
for Vista
If you are connecting to TFS to get the sources, you might need to install more, see this blog post for details.
Hi in my company we are upgrading TFS 2010 to TFS 2012.
In order to do that we need to install sp1 and a Compatibility GDR update(from here) on all of our vs 2010 clients.and a Compatibility GDR update(from here) on all of our vs 2008 client.
But We want to do the upgrade in 2 main steps ,first upgrading the client and several days later upgrading the server.
Is the client will be able to work with the tfs 2010 server even after the Compatibility GDR update has been installed?
Any links would be appreciate, thanks in advance.
Yes, I have the GDR update installed on Visual Studio 2010 and it works fine with TFS 2010 and TFS 2012.
If you install the VersionInfo extension for VS2010, it will nag you to install the GDR update.
I believe this falls under the "software tools" requirement. :)
I have tried to install VS2010 SP1 twice. Both times, it installed successfully, but when I open up VS2010, it still says RTMLDR.
I'm just trying to do this so I can install the WP 7.1 SDK, but when I try to do this after "installing" SP1, the SDK installer says that I need SP1.
I did some searching online, but have only found information regarding actually errors during the installation.
Here's the info in the dialog:

I looked at Add/Remove programs and didn't actually see SP1 there.
I have disabled Indent Guides, PowerCommands, Productivity Power Tools, an VSCommands 2010, since I know I've updated to SP1 on another system that had .NETMF 4.1 and WiX. Then I reinstalled SP1 and it's still coming up as RTM. I looked for the KB numbers in "uninstall an update", and sure enough, they are not there.
I then uninstalled .NETMF 4.1 and WiX 3.5 and that didn't help either. I then did a repair on my VS2010 installation -- no luck. And now I've just uninstalled and reinstalled VS2010, and I still cannot get SP1 installed. Once again, no errors are reported after installation.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
I have been unable to locate any information on compatibility with Visual Studio 2003 or 2005. I currently have TFS 2010 working correctly with Visual Studio 2008, but we have some developers with Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 instances.
To use VS 2003 you'll have to install the MSSCCI provider.

"Kinda"
You'll need to install a Forward Compatibility Update and even then not all features of 2010 are supported. You can find out more on the Team Foundation Server blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/team_foundation/pages/compat-matrix-for-2010-rtm-team-foundation-server-to-team-explorer-2008-and-2005.aspx
i'm going to install sql server 2008 on my computer,during preparing the installation there was an error like this:
a previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft visual studio 2008 to sp1 before installing SQL Server 2008.
So i should upgrade my visual studio to sp1, but i don't know how to do it.
Please help, and Thanks.
Download the installer for SP1 and run it.
It is on this page.
Easier Method
There is a registry trick to overcome this error
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\9.0
rename 9.0 to 9.0old
then click “re run” ,it will solve the problem,but better to install
visual studio 2008 SP1
