Installing Visual Studio 2010 RC1 on XP SP3

Installing Visual Studio 2010

After a few hours with a friend we finally figured it out!.

Here's the problem with Windows XP and this entry, the developer forgot a huge detail. The "boot.ini" is not the one with the program (Visual Studio) is the one on the PC the one in the "C:/" so... go to my computer add search "boot.ini" and look up for the one located in the C:/ then open it with note pad (right click open with: note pad) make sure you make a back up of the original one (In case that you mess it up) so now that you got your copy with the original code, edit it with this one here.

THE CODE THAT YOU GOING TO USE IN ORDER TO INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO 2010. 

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
/NoExecute=AlwaysOff



After installing Visual Studio 2010. make sure that you rewrite the "boot.ini" file with the original code!!!!

DON'T FORGET THIS!!!! so once you're done with the installation paste the original code in the file.

HERE'S THE ORIGINAL CODE

[boot loader]
timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NoExecute=optin /fastdetect



SAVE IT AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!. NJOY!
