Since Microsoft is no longer supporting one of the most useful tools ever, apparently we are left to fend for ourselves. Has anyone been able to get the Web Application Stress Tool (WAST) to install on their Windows 7 machine?
I found this link (albeit in Italian) to download the Homer setup program:

Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) is better option.

I am interested in windows mobile7 application development and struggling with setting up the development environment. I found this DISCUSSED LINK.
(So it answered one problem that I had. I have already installed VS2010 Ultimate edition. I guess when I install Windows mobile7 SDK, it will install all the Windows mobile7 SDK tools without affecting the VS2010 that I have already Installed)
In my laptop I have windows7 64Bit operating system. Can someone please send me the steps that I should follow to make the environment to start windows mobile7 application development without affecting existing VS2010.
If someone can post the steps in sequence (including where I can find the SDK tools), Highly appreciated. Thanks inadvance...!!!
You can't install Windows Phone tools without affecting existing VS2010 installation. How would you create Phone apps without adding phone tools to the existing installation? Adding tools is an affect, is it not? Why worry about adding more tools? It's not going to take anything away from VS.
Download the tools from create.msdn.com. Run the Windows Phone tools, and start writing phone apps. It really is that simple. As for the tools installing the express version, I don't think so. I have ultimate, and looking through my file system now, there is only one devenv.exe, not a second one for express.
Is it possible to install "Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW" on a machine without installing Visual Studio and Expression Blend?
The reason I am asking is that I want to install it on a build server.

You can download and install the tools and then uninstall any options you don't require. Such as VS2010Express & Blend.
Unfortunately there isn't a better solution available at the moment.
Yes, that's exactly why downloads like the one you referenced exist - build servers, production servers have to build/run without Visual Studio.
Do you have specific needs here? I see the q is tagged for Windows Phone.
Online info about the Windows Phone developer tools seems to indicate that it's currently a bit of a work in progress. Don't see any obvious way to put this standalone on a build machine.
My company is planning on developing for Windows Phone 7. The build server we have, however runs Windows Server 2008. According to the Windows Phone SDK release notes I've read that only Windows Server is not supported for the SDK.
Does anyone have any experience on whether there's a possible workaround to have a Windows Server 2008 machine build Windows Phone 7 projects?
Update: I'm interested in building on a WS 2008 as we're talking about a project with a larger team where continous integration and centralized builds are essential. I'd be hoping we wouldn't have to set up an additional Windows 7 build server for this task.
Most the issues of this nature come into play meeting the emulator's requirements rather than the development tools.
With that said some are hacking around the walls put up to stop people going into the unsupported territory of WS2008.
Judging by your requirements I'd say dive in. If you have the option to test on device or in emulators in Win7, that will place you well.
This post likely of interest.
Aaron Stebner's WebLog : How to install the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP Refresh on Windows Server 2008
If someone is interested here is instruction how to modify ISO image of the WinPhone 7.1 SDK for installing it on Windows Server. Basically it's the same Aaron Stebner solution, the only difference is that you need to modify it in the ISO image.
Has anyone already tried this, anything particulair that I need to be aware of?
Yep, been running it for a while and I haven't hit any problems yet. Can't say I've use it all day every day, but I've built WPF, WinForms, Web and Console apps with it for testing various things and haven't had any hitches.
I have it on my Dell X1, which is effectively my "NetBook", and it's really pretty rapid. The only glitch I have had at all is some problems with graphics acceleration, but that's down to the Intel driver I'm using being an old XP driver, and it was easily worked around.
I've been running it inside a VM in Parallels Desktop 4 on a MacBook Pro. Absolutely no problems to speak of.
(There's no sound in Windows 7 as virtualized through Parallels, which is a known issue — but not very pertinent to the operation of Visual Studio.)
Jeroen,
I've been unable to install the 2008 Team Developer edition - keep getting a permission error. I was, however, able to insall the 2008 Team Database edition. I normally install both editions, so am kind of bummed about not getting the Developer edition to install. Screenshot of the error is here if you're curious.
No Problem with team edition, but only using it for web projects.
I've been using it at work since RC1 and have not run into any issues. Have developed a WinForms app, a WebForms site and now working on a MVC project.
I have had zero problems running Visual Studio 2008 Pro on 32 bit and 64 bit editions of Windows 7 for full-time C++ development.
If the application you are developing doesn't behave correctly under UAC you may will need to run the IDE as admin otherwise it won't run correctly under debug (this is the applications problem, not Windows 7 or Visual Studios).
Others seem to have problems with access rights/permissions, this should also be fixable by running the IDE as admin (via right click) or more permanently via the compatibility tab in the shortcut properties.
I don't know why this happens, is probably related to their particular user account settings.
I am trying to get the Azure SDK up and running on my dev PC and have been having some issues.
I have installed the SDK, tools for VS and am trying to run the samples. Every time I try to run the samples the Development Storage service starts and then the Developer Fabric tries to start. This is where is stops. The Developer Fabric cannot run any websites for whatever reason.
I have followed their checklist for setting up the system and there is not Event messages. I am running under Vista Home Premium with IIS 7 installed.
If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
It turns out my problem is a little deeper than simply Azure not working on my computer.
In order to natively debug IIS apps using windows vista (configured under the project settings) you need to have windows authentication enabled for IIS. This feature cannot be installed let alone enabled under Vista Home Premium under the guise of what home user would want such a feature.
For the average VS 2005 user this is okay there is a hotfix but for me and my fancy VS 2008 SP1 there is no solution.
After becoming supremely frustrated with this issue I posted it as the following Microsoft Connect issue.
