After installing Async CTP I do not have a folder under My Documents created

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, SP1, Eng. US, and I did not have any of the installed updates listed in the other article so I do not know what to do to make it work.

The samples do recognize the keyword Task<LinkInfo> but not DownloadItemAsyncInternal or the keyword async so I do not know what to do?

Answer 1

Same here.

Should the installer be run as admin  ?

My Useraccount has local admin priviliges is this enough ?

 

On this machine the ,NET 4 PlattformUpdate 1 is installed perhaps theres an relation to that ?

Here are my Version numbers:

 

From C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

csc.exe - 4.0.30319.450

vbc.exe - 10.0.30319.450

 

The following seems to be wrong :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\msvbide.dll - 10.0.40219.1

this should be 10.0.40219.15 ?

Theres also a logfile in the local appdata folder . One in HTML one in txt. named like this:

Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP (SP1 Refresh)_20111004_150156925

I could mail this if it would be of any help...

I don't have KB2565057 installed

I also didn't ever have installer Silverlight 5 Beta or something like this.

My operating system is set to german and trhe visual studio is installed in englisch

Answer 2

Had the same problem and fixed. The issue is that this package is split into two different updates: one for .NET CLR and the other for Visual Studio.

The second (the Visual Studio one) is optional, so you can install the bits into a server that doesn't have VS installed, but the problem is that the update operaiton fails and that failure goes unnoted.

Why that fails? Mainly because it needs a VS2010 SP1 clean installs, and it will fail if you have ANY post VS2010 SP1 update applied.

So, what's the solution? Unfortunately, you need to uninstall and reinstall the Visual Studio 2010 SP1, and that's painful, but doable.

So, there you have it, uninstall and reinstall VS2010 SP1 and then install the Async CTP SP1 Refresh and you will find the bits and documents installed into the "My Documents" folder.

Best regards,

Andrés.

Answer 3

Thanks for your reply. i'll give it a try. Hope it will work

Answer 4

IT worked ! Many Thanks ! This should be an made more public. I think most people intereseting in testing a CTP woul be willing to reinstall VS if they would now this could help !

 

You saved my Day :-)

Answer 5

It worked for me too (Windows 7-x64, VS2010 Express - German/Deutsch).

I uninstalled and reinstalled VS2010 SP1 and then installed the Async CTP SP1 Refresh.

Afterwards I found all documents and .dll files installed into the folder "C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP" (......\Eigene Dokumente\Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP/.....).

Answer 6

Yeah perhaps the async team should think about a recomandation to reinstall VS in order to use Async ?

Answer 7

Just uninstalling / reinstalling Visual Studio SP1 should suffice most of the times.

Glad to hear it worked for you guys.

Best regards,

Andrés.

Answer 8

i just had a similar problem, but my issue was that REMOVING the old CTP didn't remove Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP from my Documents folder. So the folder already existed when the new CTP update 3 was installed.

 

I simply renamed the Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP folder and reinstalled the CTP and it recreated the Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP folder with the newer updated content.
