I got Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect Version CD for my academic use. However, if I install Enterprise Architect Version, it require .NET Framework 1.1, Java SDK, and other components to be installed before VS .NET Enterprise Architect can be installed... These components consumed alot of space and resource on my computer...I don't want these components... I prefer Professional Version...So is it possible to modify the version from "Enterprise Architect" to "Professional"? Then I can have "Professional Version" so that I don't need to install these unnecessary components... Anyone who know how to modify the version i.e changing the setup files or system files to install as "Professional Version"?

all versions of visual studio.net require the dot net framework and a bunch of other stuff to run. those are the runtimes that run the apps you write! as far as i know the prerequisites are no different for pro than they are for enterprise architect.

awh man why did you got the architect version anyways

the pro. version is alot cheaper

Erm...My school lent me CD to let me install...but I see another student installing MS Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003 on his laptop without installing these components... I mean I look at them in "Add/Remove Program"...

Yup..I know Professional is cheaper than Enterprise Architect...

They are the same files in all editions! Also, its not the Java SDK it installs, its the J# .net runtime!

Why you must shout at me using exclaimation stop?

Oops...I know it is Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package...I was too busy so I typed "Java SDK"..

But I checked other student's laptop with MS Visual Studio Professional installed...In "Add/Remove Program", I don't see "MS Framework 1.1 .NET" and "MS Visual J# .NET" being listed...I only see "MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional" being listed...

Now, if you actually read the install screens when you installed it you would see that those items are PREREQUISETS and MUST be installed for .NET to run.

And if you were really smart you would have ordered it for free from the Microsoft website and got a 60 day trial version for free on dvd in the mail... But instead you had to waste the $1600+ (aus) on it. Ah well.

Well, I got it...But what I know the difference between 2 versions is that Enterprise Architect Version consumed more resource and space than Professional Version. Am I correct? If not, please correct me and clarify the difference between Enterprise Architect and Professional...Thanks...

Noooooo....I did not buy it..I mean my school give me Enterprise Architect CD through Volume License for Academic Use...

snowblizzard, the .NET framework must be installed for you to install Visual Studio.NET. The applications that you will be creating using VS will depend this framework, so it must be installed. On the other hand, I don't think the J# redistributable package has to be installed, as long as you deselect the J# option in the VS install process. I could be wrong though, since I always install J#.

And to all of you who are telling him not to waste money on the Enterprise edition, maybe you should read the thread before you post. He got Enterprise free from school, he didn't pay anything for it.

You can't deselect J# before you have installed the J# runtime ;)

Step 1 Prerequesites

Step 2 Select what you want (and remove the J# runtime after the installation completes. Just like frontpage extensions and stuff)

And the applications won't depend on the .NET framework, if he doesn't use .NET languages.

(E.g. he just installs VC++ like I did. No program you'd build with that should need the .NET framework unless you explicitly use something that's part of .NET (if that is even possible with plain C++ (I guess it is))).

you HAVE to install the .NET Framework to run ANY version of VS.NET, and more importantly, if you dont have the .NET framework the apps you write wont even run anyway (unless you write a pure C++ appthat doesnt use any .NET features).

The professional version DOES make you install the .NET Framework, though im not sure about the J# Redist Package but the J# one isnt that big i dont think.

As for it consuming more space, you can select what components you want to install in the installer anyway, so just dont install some of the more advanced features. The major advantage of Enterprise Architect over Pro is its SQL Server integration anyway, there arnt that many other differences.

Ooo...Sorry....Take my apologize...I did not know that these components are NEEDED to be installed before VS .NET can be installed...Coz I have not installed MS VS .NET Enterprise Architect yet even though I have CD with me...Now, I got it...Thanks all of you for your great advice...Hmmm...I guess I am satisfied with Enterprise Architect since Enterprise Architect is about the same as Professional... Anyway, I will install it now :D

That's true about the unmanaged VC++ programs 8tImER, but I was assuming that he was more interested in the managed languages like C# and VB.NET.

That's correct...I am learning C++ and Visual Basic in my collegue...As for Java# - not now but maybe in future when I have mastered C++ and VB.

      If they don't subtitle it "the search for more money" I'll be a little miffed.  I mean, that was a play on "the search for Spock" which no one freaking knows anymore, but still, they literally named the sequel in the first movie, so ...   (regardless, with everyone still alive on board, I'm super happy)

      I use it every day also and have never had an issue with any part of it not working OOTB. Maybe not year of the Linux, but I'm willing to bet there will be a fair amount of people making the switch in the next few months. I know I've helped switch a couple dozen people myself.
