Visual Studio 2008 with Beta feature pack

[JohnCz]

Does it make a difference where (ie. what drive) you run the install from?

Yes it may. Are you using XP Pro? Did you try managed newsgroups?
Again: without DVD in a drive, I have installed everything and only help files did not work.

Both .chm files work OK for me. I'm running Win XP.

I decompiled both files, created new project and compiled back without any changes. Everything works now.
I used old, good HTML Help Workshop.

Are there memory leaks with this new stuff?
Running just a basic Visual Studio type new program with no modifications, with all of the extra options (outlook, navigation, etc.) Deleaker detects allocated memory blocks, USER objects, and handles with leaks. No GDI leaks though. As I said earlier I'm new to this stuff, but this doesn't seem right.
MFC does not report any leaks at the exit of the program.

I would suggest starting new thread with your issue, since this one refers to an installation problem.

I happened before, happens now and it will happen in the future; some tools do not report memory leaks correctly.

FYI:

I was finally able to install the Beta Feature Pack and TR1. I had to remove the Team System 2008 version and install the Professional Edition. Once I did that, the Feature Pack installed. But, only if you have the original Professional Edition DVD in the drive at the time you install.

What a pain...
