The client also has a UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment in addition to production - this is a fairly common arragement in my experience.<BR/><BR/>We used VMWare for virtualization because our dev farm was 64-bit (to match production). It's now possible to do this with MS technologies though under Windows 2008.<BR/><BR/>HTH,<BR/><BR/>Chris.Chris O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022906552670607366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126985520350746834.post-16668925268340583242008-09-03T19:46:00.000+01:002008-09-03T19:46:00.000+01:00@Alex,I believe the KB number is KB 947841.Another...@Alex,<BR/><BR/>I believe the KB number is <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947841" REL="nofollow">KB 947841</A>.<BR/><BR/>Another alternative available now (but not when we had the problem) would probably be to install SP1 for VS2008 though.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Chris.Chris O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022906552670607366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126985520350746834.post-25827672802681974452008-09-03T15:29:00.000+01:002008-09-03T15:29:00.000+01:00Interesting.

Neat!<BR/><BR/>And I agree about having a development farm - but did it belong to the client? I'm campaigning for virtual development farms here, but we seem to end up with too many VMs for the servers all the time, what with the number of clients. That'd be different if we were using the client's hardware, though...<BR/><BR/>And speaking of which - what type of virtual machines were you using? We've got VMware, and haven't had any problems (from the virtualisation, anyway!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126985520350746834.post-27561255602260743162008-09-02T17:38:00.000+01:002008-09-02T17:38:00.000+01:00Thanks Chris, there's some great techniques/proces...Thanks Chris, there's some great techniques/processes here. I agree with you on the development farm approach by the way.<BR/><BR/>Could you please provide the KB number for the VS hotfix? I've been having the same issue thinking it was Resharper.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Alex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
