Installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 on Mac Book Pro
So being one of those types who just has to go ahead and try the latest and greatest releases of Visual Studio. I went ahead and tried to install VS 2010 Beta 2 today on my Mac Book Pro Bootcamp Windows 7 x64 setup. But oh no it kept failing with some stupid Access Denied error. After a few reboots and an a cup of coffee I worked it out! The Mac partition is read-only and for some reason the .NET Framework 4 Installer tries to use this disk to expand the installation files and then just fails so the fix is to remove the Drive letter from the Mac partition and all is well.
Oh and VS2010 looks pretty good can't wait to to give it a proper spin....
Just worked out what I now need to run SharePoint 2010 -- Apple have just refreshed their iMac's so the new Quad i7 27' with 8GB RAM looks about right.
