Answer 1

So, no explanation for sp1 installing "beta 1" labeled C++ compiler?

Answer 2

Hi Al.x,

Thanks for your post.

As far as I can tell, these are the hotfix that fix some problems in the Visual Studio 2010. For example, the KB2420513 and KB2452649 have fixed the below issues:

• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2420513
• http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452649

 For more information about the issues fixed in the Visual Sutdio 2010, please see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983509

If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Answer 3

You did not answer the question, the hotfixes are individually and collectively labeled "Beta 1"

So either you included a wrong C++ msi or the labels are wrong.  Which is it?

Answer 4

The labels are incorrectly labeled as "Beta 1". The fixes themselves are included in SP1.
