Just thought I'd share this with other developers...
I decided to go over to VS2008 Express totally but I'm running short of disk space so thought I'd uninstall all previous VS versions. Before I did this, I mounted the VS2008 iso with Daemon Tools Lite as a virtual DVD just to check it and the Autorun setup displayed OK - I then closed it.
After the uninstallation of the various VS versions, however, when I tried the VS2008 iso again it complained it didn't know how to handle setup.hta. Sure enough, when I opened My Computer -> Folder Options -> File Types, there's no mention of an HTA file type. :confused:
I've managed to get the setup running by telling it to use mshta.exe but two attempts to create a permanent file association failed to 'stick'. Folder Options -> File Types still doesn't show an association for HTA. Nasty.
Cheers,
Brian
