Memory minimum allocation for Vista Business Edition with Visual Studio 2008 VM?

Long time listener, first time caller...

Please excuse me if this question is answered somewhere else, I tried from Google and it came only with a response that was sort of what I was looking for, but was specific to a Macbook with Fusion...

I want to create a Vista Business Edition (SP1) virtual machine with Visual Studio 2008 (which I think also is delivered with SQL 2005 Dev Edition) and I was wondering what the minimum memory allocation should be for this in order to make it work properly?

Thank you

Jim

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Amount of minimum support from Microsoft for Vista Business is 512 MB and 768 MB or more recommended for Visual Studio.  1280MB is the minimum.  Personally, I do not want anything less than 2 GB to a virtual machine with Vista and Visual Studio - 1 GB each.

One of the great benefits of virtualization is that you can start this virtual machine with 1.5 GB and try it.  If the memory is not sufficient, then it is simple to give another 0.5 GB to the virtual machine and try again.

Good luck!

  • Tracing with Visual Studio 2008 works only the 1st time

    Hello

    I use Visual Studio 2008 and TestStand 4.1.1.

    I have a c# dll and I'll call a function of TestStand.

    In VS, I "join to deal with...". "and choose to attach it to TestStand. I start my sequence and VS to get to the point break that I set myself in VS.

    Everything is great.

    Now if I "Stop debugging", I do some changes for my dll, recompile all right and reattach to TS, everything seems ok.

    But if I start my sequence, do not strike my breakpoints and step runs without me trace in my c# code.

    The only workaround is to close TestStand, restart it, reopen the sequence and reinstall VS on it, then works again my breakpoint.

    What's wrong? I wouldn't restart TestStand whenever I do change the dll and reattach. I tried to unload all modules also with no success.

    I do something wrong or solutions to avoid restarting TestStand after changes to the c# code and you want to draw it.

    Thank you.

    Hi Matt,

    First of all, I tried to replicate what you experience following your instructions, but I couldn't recompile the DLL after the stop debugging in Visual Studio, because the DLL was still in use in TestStand.  After I unloaded all the modules, I could recompile.  I then re-attached and saw what you were doing.  So, to get around him, I tied to the process in a slightly different way.  In Visual Studio, I went to tools' attach to process, and then chose the seqedit.exe process.  Before mounting, I pressed the Select button on the right side of the dialog box in the middle of changing the type of code we are debugging.  Select the radio button "Debug these code types" and verify that "Managed".  This will ensure that the debugger attaches only to managed code (c#).  After I did, I could run my sequence again without having to restart TestStand.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

  • Update for VISTA Business automatically leads to not being able to open the attachment in Windows Mail

    After an automatic update from Microsoft for VISTA Business on July 16, I now can't open attachments in the reading of e-mail messages in Windows Mail.  An error message indicates that the file is not found.  I have now to save all attachments and open my files before I read attachments.  It's very frustrating.  I had a similar experience, only a couple of weeks where a parameter is passed by an automatic update to VISTA leading to read all the emails being hidden from view.  I had never seen that before and it cost me £40 to get DELL Technical Support to sort for me.  Microsoft should not do this kind of thing are they?  Should I just revert to the original system (I have to pay DELL to do it for me) and just not allow Microsoft Update VISTA more.  I have my own business, no IT support and I want to just use my easy notebook for standard applications.  Nothing complicated.  I can't afford to waste time and money sorting on my laptop when I should run my own business in very difficult times.  Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

    I understand exactly what you're saying.

    Try this with updates to uninstall the problem and change the eo settings you decide what it is installed:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And if you really need to go back to factory settings, save your self money.

    The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
    You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

  • I want to build a pc for better video editing with the soft first Adobe pro and Adobe after effect. Should what kind of material I buy for it. If you suggest me pls.

    I want to build a pc for better video editing with the soft first Adobe pro and Adobe after effect. Should what kind of material I buy for it. If you suggest me pls. my budget is about $2500

    You will have problems in the construction of a 99 X system for this budget. You need 32 GB of ram if you do that will be a large part of the cost with DDR4 right now. If you have a room on the X 99 budget would certainly be the way forward. The 5960 X is the best processor out right now but $1100 will probably push your budget. The 5930 K would still work and a much better price for your budget. I suggest: 970GTX with this budget as well. Forget the Xeon V3. They are out of your budget and not worth the price with this budget in mind. You can get a system much better with the I7 Haswell E chips.

    Hi mate,

    Sorry, but just because one person in a MSDN forum has randomly the same machine you, does not mean that there is a related problem of the machine. Technically in comparing it s absolutely the same material as in an office and so why Don t you contact Microsoft technical support?

    It seems that it is certainly unwanted Microsoft and has NOTHING to do with Toshiba hardware or software, so please see MS support sites or give them a call, because it s THEIR software which won´t operate according to THEIR operating system.

    Benjamin,

    This error means that you place an order for wrong type for the function in question. And that's because you create a control of type CTRL_NUMERIC instead of CTRL_GRAPH or CTRL_GRAPH_LS.

  • Can we use emulator ripple with visual studio?

    Hi friend

    How can we use emulator ripple with visual studio?

    Thanks in advance,

    Faster

    You can use ripple with Visual Studio...

    What I do is to create a directory on my machine that has my application in it, then go into Visual Studio and select: «File-> Open-> Web Site...» »

    Then I browse and select the directory where I created my app.  It will then open this directory as a Web site in Visual Studio.

    When I want to run and debug my application, I press "start without debugging".  This will launch the ASP.NET development for the project server so that I can type in the URL.

    I then open the URL in the ripple.  I can just edit the files in Visual Studio, then press refresh (F5) in waving to refresh the content of my application.
