Direct Visual Studio 2012 RC and Windows 8 Release Preview ISO download URLs

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/06/20

Somehow many software vendors seem to make it a sport to make it hard to get download URLs.

So here is a bunch of direct download URLs for the (almost new <g>) Visual Studio 2012 RC (formerly and internally known as Visual Studio 11).

There are both ISO files (big, but convenient for offline installation).

Web installers (depending on the choose install options, the total download can be a lot less than the complete ISO, but your system needs to be online during the full installation process).

You can find similar Windows 8 Release Preview download links here (they were distilled from the official download page, which now gives a 404 because of the atdmt link redirect is broken).

I use the x64 and x86 shortcuts for the x64 and x86 ISO links.

The Windows 8 Release Preview Upgrade Assistant also comes in handy.

The above links give a sustained transfer rate here of at least 3 megabit/second.

TFS – Undelete File or Folder – brilliantly easy from the Visual Studio IDE: just enable “Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer”

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/06/19

Never knew it was so brilliantly easy to undelete files from TFS: you can do it in Visual Studio, by enabling “Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer” in the settings.

Just look at TFS – Undelete File or Folder for the screen shots.

Not sure in which Visual Studio version this got introduced, but it works in VS 2010 and up.

Glyphs are apparently a designer term for icons that are not colorful. Get them at TheNounProject.com – via Scott Hanselman

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/06/05

Scott’s blog posts usually contain a truckload of side information in between the main topic.

He was discussing the new ‘designed’ look of Visual Studio 11 (the mantra: just give it a shot, and then tell how you like it; I like the new look and feel very much).

And he also mentioned a site of monochrome Glyphs I hadn’t seen before:

Those glyphs are awesome!

Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISO formats: Microsoft, please do this the same for Visual Studio 11 (#VS11 #W8)

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/03/02

Hopefully they will add Visual Studio 2011 ISOs (no, not the current ones that still download the prerequisites in the background) like they did with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISOs:
