In it I'll run through the basic info on installing and configuring VS2010 for use by developers who work remotely while providing a summary of its features. Because VS2010 Ultimate is such a rich and stable IDE for Visual Studio, I decided to make it my recommended base when setting up a development environment. To do this I've taken the time to create a setup package that provides everything in one download: VS2010 for Windows (MSI package) and the associated product key (MSI x86-x64) VS2010 Ultimate SDK, which includes ADK content Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate SDK (with ADK's installed) and the associated product key (MSI x86-x64) Visual C Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2010 (x64-redistributable). http://www.microsoft. com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555 Note: I've removed the setup package for the C Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2010 (x64) because of it's size (3.5GB).
