I have VS2010 professional that I got from DreamSpark website. Now I'd like to have VS2010 sp1 and I'm a little confuse.
Should I uninstall vs2010 first and install vs2010 sp1? Is the vs2010 sp1 just a component that work on top of vs2010?
Thanks for helping
You can download the SP1 Installer here. It upgrades your current VS 2010 to VS 2010 sp1. You do not need to uninstall VS 2010 - just install the service pack from the above link, and it upgrades you.

On the dev pc installed Visual Studio 2010 and MVC3 with Web Platform Installer. Then on this machinery was installed VS2012 Express and I would like for this to be installed MVC3. When I start WPI, can not choose the VS2012:
I tried with nuget to install, but it is only the assembly to install them.
I'd appreciate any assistance, thanks in advance!
instead of at install mvc3, use the Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web.
I installed the SP1 beta for Visual Studio 2010 but when I open VS2010, it crashes. Is there a convenient method to uninstall sp1 without uninstalling vs 2010?
"Programs and Features" should have the VS2010 SP1 Beta uninstaller and allow you to rollback the install. Otherwise you maybe have to uninstall all of VS and reinstall.
There is no need to do it now because VS2010 SP1 has been released ;)
I recently installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium at my work computer. I'm evaluating the installation of the VS2010 SP1 Beta to adjust many little problems that I've noted in using VS2010.
But I don't know if the SP1 Beta is rollbackable or if If'll have to reinstall all the VS2010 when the final SP1 will arrive to us.
Could anyone advise me about the opportunity to do this?
thanks a lot

From Scott Hanselman's blog:
•If you install VS2010 SP1 beta, don't
uninstall it if you can avoid it.
Rather, wait for SP1 final which will
upgrade your beta cleanly and leave
you in the best state.
This is a copy from the readme file at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=207141 :
2.2. Uninstalling
2.2.1. On computers that have earlier versions of Visual Studio
2.2.1.1. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta removes features in
Visual Studio Tools for Office and
Visual Studio Tools for SharePoint
Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Beta removes the Visual Studio Tools
for Office (VSTO) Design Time and some
features of Visual Studio Tools for
SharePoint. The Office and Sharepoint
features in Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Beta are major upgrades and have
different product guids than those in
the Visual Studio 2010 original
release. Therefore, when SP1 Beta is
removed, the features are removed, and
the Visual Studio 2010
original-release versions must be
reinstalled.
To resolve this issue:
In Windows Control Panel, click
Uninstall a program. In the list of
programs, right-click Microsoft Visual
Studio 2010 and then click
Uninstall/Change. In the Maintenance
Mode dialog box, click Next and then
click Add or Remove Features. Select
the following features. Microsoft
Office Developer Tools (x86) or (x64)
for Office development. Microsoft
SharePoint Developer Tools for
SharePoint development. Click Update.
2.2.1.2. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta may not donwload all
required packages
When Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta is
uninstalled by using Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel, a
prompt for source may be displayed.
To avoid this, run setup.exe from the
original location, and uninstall by
using Setup Maintenence Mode.
To resolve this issue:
Navigate to the original installation
location for Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Beta . Run setup.exe. Select Remove.
Update
Regarding your comment below, yes, I installed VS 2010 SP1 Beta, here are the problems I got:
I couldn't install Visual Studio SDK - Fixed - I found there was newer version for VS2010SP1Beta that I didn't realize at first.
I could not install Phone Developer SDK - Fixed as unrelated - I contacted #ScottGU and they said this is test scenario, I downloaded again and it worked as a charm
Few issues about Resharper or so (can't remember exactly, but minor for sure) - Fixed - I just got a recent build of Resharper.
If this leads to the question "Should I install it?", I'd say, if you need any of the new features in it (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg442059.aspx for listing), then just install it. It's OK. If not, wait for RTM.
BTW,
If you want to discuss your specific SP1 issues instead of uninstall, no problem in that as well :)
Have a shiny new Windows 7 64-bit machine and got a bit over zealous and installed Visual Studio 2010 before I installed VS 2008. Still need 2008, can I install 2008 after 2010 or do I need to uninstall 2010, install 2008, then SP1, then reinstall 2010?
Uninstalling and reinstalling VS2010 shouldn't be necessary. Install VS2008 and SP1, then run the VS2010 uninstaller but choose to repair rather than uninstall, this will fix any registry settings broken by installing in the "wrong" order.
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
