Well not really a new computer but a new Hard Disk with a new operating System, I just moved from Windows 7 32Bit to Windows 7 64Bit. My laptop has 4GB of memory so the transition was just a matter of time (the 32Bit could only use ~3GB of memory). I preferred now because my computer was giving me a hard time with weird exceptions that just wouldn’t go away…
So what did I install?
- IIS – if you install it before installing VS some options will be missing
- VS2008 – still have some legacy code and the guys in charge don’t want to upgrade to 2010, go figure…
- Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Client
- VS2008 SP1
- VS2010 – if you have an installation of SQL Server 2008 then don’t install the SQL Server Express 2008 (it makes it very difficult to install the Management or a real server down the line)
- VS2010 SP1
- Silverlight Tools for VS 4 2010
- Silverlight 4 For Developers
- Microsoft Expression Blend Software Development Kit (SDK) for Silverlight 4
- Silverlight Toolkit
- fiddler2 – a must have to Silverlight developers
- SQL Server 2008 – now here I had some troubles, it seems there is a bug in the installation that causes errors if the installation windows is not on top (I took it a step further and closed all other windows)
- ArcEngine 10 for developers
- ArcObjects SDK for the Microsoft .NET framework
- ArcGIS License Manager
- ArcGIS API for Silverlight/WPF version 2.1
- MyGeneration – I use it for my Code Generation
- Visual Studio 2010 Feature Pack 2
- DB Comparer – a free tool to compare two databases
- ArcSDE for Microsoft SQL Server
- ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework – GIS Services
- ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework – Web Applications
- Windows Live Writer – really need to write those blog posts
- Notepad++
- DropBox
- NUnit
VS Extensions:
- Resharper – 6 EAP version
- Spell Checker
- All Margins
- PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2010
This time I think I will backup my system, it just too long of a list to do this again…
