Version upgrade rules?

Can someone refer me to an explanation of Visual Studio's upgrade
rules: which versions can be upgrade to which? I can't find them at
microsoft.com or any of the vendors I've checked.

I'm specifically interested in upgrading Visual Studio .net
Professional (2002) to the current version of Professional or
Standard.

Are you talking about the technicalities, or pricing? When you install
VS 2008 (or other versions) it doesn't upgrade the previous version, it
just installs alongside the old one.

Pricing. I didn't know old and new versions could be installed side
by side, but I don't have a need to do that anyway.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but I'm in the US, and the policies
might be different here than in Europe.

In that case, I suspect http://microsoft.com/vstudio is your best bet.
I wouldn't hold out too much hope of an upgrade price having skipped 2
major versions though.

I bought/installed the upgrade to Visual Studio .Net Professional 2003 (from 2002). I was surprised that it did not appear to uninstall (or overlay) my old version (2002) of Visual Studio .Net Professional. There are two sets of Framework and Visual Studio on both the "conrol panel/program add-remove" and two sets of menu's off the "start/programs". I'd just uninstall the old (as the new has "2003" off of everything) ... but it just...

We've fooled around with Access a bit, but only using the single-user store-bought version. It seems to be a good database - versatile and infinitely programmable - and can apparently be used as a front end to SQL server if we ever needed to go that route.

I am trying to figure out how to use Subversion, but this question isn't really Subversion-specific. Any version control system will suffer from the same problem, IMO.

I don't think this question will be completely relevant in a C/C++ or other local devlopment environment. Maybe it is...

Hello All, I have a major application for quoting and invoicing that is written in Access 97 (both front and back ends). I have a user base of over 300 customers, and currently I don't require that they have Access 97, as I use the access 97 runtime scripts from Sagekey software. The main problems I've seen with Access 97 are the built in e-mail support for sending reports. Unless a user uses the MS Outlook 2000/XP method, they have to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
