when i remove the sp1 and add only 3.5 it builds ok

thanx

The reason is that we shipped the .NET Frameworks 3.5 SP1 package as Homesite Only, i.e. only supports "Install Prerequisites from Component Vendor's Website". We did this to keep the size of VS 2008 SP1 from being too large.

We did put info in the SP1 readme on how to get the files put on your machine to enable the samesite scenario. Look for "Enable Samesite".

I hope this helps.

What happens if you set the download location in the Prerequisites dialog to "Download from vendor's web site" ?

I resolved the 57 errors the same way as stated in the SP1 documentation section 2.3.1.1
but now I have one remaining for Crystal Reports

Error12The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'CrystalReports 12.0\CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi' in item 'Crystal Reports 2008' can not be located on disk. See Help for more information.IVtoQuestInterface

This is for Crystal Reports 2008 (not the basic version)

So how is this resolved please?

In order to fix this problem with crystal reports I downloaded Service Pack 1 for CR2008
and also a clickOnce service packfor CR2008.

Both are located here.

https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm

The first one is found ubder tyoe "service packs" for CR2008, the latter is found
under "utility" for CR2008.

(this is NOT for the basic CR edition that comes with VS2008!)

After installing these programs, my one click install option under publish/prerequisites

"download prerequites from same location as application" then worked.

So while this is not exactly a VS2008 fix, it will fix it for CR 2008 you must make sure
Click Once sees you redistribable..

Mr. Guyer,

Frankly, installing all components is not a recommended practice. Why would you waste disk space and effort installing Crystal Reports if you aren't going to use it? The "install all components" also installs SQLServer Express, which not only takes up disk space, but also runs as a service on your machine.And this is just Visual Studio.Do they "install all components" when installing Java?Are you enjoyingthat crapware (Google Toolbar) that comes with it?

It's a shame not to install SP-1 for VS2008 on your machines. It has a lot of improvements to VS2008 as well as enhancements.

Good luck.

I agree with RobinDotNet. I think I could probably deploy the fixas outlined in the notes to my entire depart with about 5 lines of code. And I'm not even that good at coding... :)

LOL. Thanks! :-)
