Welcome to Visual Basic .NET
Figure 1-2
❑
Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Web Extensions Client
❑
Setup Runtime Files
❑
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1
❑
Microsoft Data Access Components 2.7 with Service Pack 1
❑
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
❑
Microsoft Visual J# .Net Redistributable Package 1.1
If you don’t know what some of those things are, don’t worry about it. They are just Windows components
that Visual Studio .NET or Visual Basic .NET requires.
4. After agreeing to the End User License agreement for the Prerequisite components, click
Continue and the list of needed prerequisite components will be displayed.
Depending on what components you have already installed on your machine, your list of components that
require updating may be different. For reference, these are the options on a completely patched version of
Windows XP Professional that includes Internet Information Services.
5. Click Install Now! to begin the installation of the Prerequisites. After the Prerequisite install has
finished, you will be returned to the initial Setup screen and step 2 will be enabled. You will now
be able to install Visual Studio .NET, so click on Visual Studio .NET.
6. As with most installations you will be presented with an option list of components to install (see
Figure 1-3). You can choose to install only the features that you need. For example, if your drive
space is limited and you have no immediate need for Visual C++ .NET, you can exclude it from
the installation. You will also be given the chance to select the location of items (although the
defaults should suffice unless your particular machine has special requirements). Any option
that is not chosen at the initial setup can always be added later as your needs or interests change.
