WHy MS is a way behind? Eclipse and Notepad++ has it a long way ago.

Yep, all correct. The online announcement about the VS2010 Beta1 support should show up soon.

Johnny, Dude…. no need for the abuse! Don’t forget it’s beta 1. I’d be surprised if the highlighting color isn’t in the list of items that you can control the color of when the product ships. At any rate, if you can’t see the highlighting you’re no better off than you were in VS2008. If this is your biggest complaint then I think you’re missing the big picture when it comes to VS2010.

The highlighting SUCKS royally. There’s no way to change the color used for the highlight and it’s so g.d. light you have to have X-Ray vision to see it.

Good f’up Microsuck.

I spent 40 hours trying to get visual c++ studio standard and express to work with windows 7 4-24-08 to compile and link a simple 3 – 6 line code, microsoft proved to me it was windows 7. they refused to help me until I tried VSS2008 on my mothers vista computer. I did and it worked on the programs I redundently kept writing for 40 hours like a charm. It seems its the manifest files linker or that it looks for file name with .exe when you are linking a .cpp file but the error was system cannot find the file specified. good luck all. I go back to XP today.

I tried to upgrade from trial VS2008 to full… but, on Windows 7 Beta there is no “Upgrade to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008″ option… anyone knows why?… did anyone else encountered this problem?!

I have VS 2008 Standard Edition which does not include VSTO so your fix will not work. I am experiencing the same issue with VS 2008 SP1 failing to install. Any other ideas?

I was able to install VS 2008 Team Developer edition on Windows 7 build 7000, but VS2008 SP1 crashes when it tries to install the VC++ runtime SP1. No luck running the standalone, either. This is frustrating.
