Title: Prepare for a Nightmare
Product review: I have installed the Visual Studio .NET without any errors, but the development environment will not start. I have tried the installation, reinstallation on Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows 2000 Professional. The development environment will not start in ANY of the environments. All I get is the following error appears: "The application cannot start."I have followed all of the instructions in the Microsoft support article "PRB:Visual Studio .NET IDE Does Not Open When Started (Q306905). None of the fixes suggested work.To make matters worse, I spent 3 weeks waiting for Microsoft to send me replacement CD's because the original software package was missing CD #3. Then, I was sent the wrong version of Visual Studio. I finally get the correct version, now thegarbage will not start. This is REALLY too much!My only hope is that this type of poor quality will finally bring Microsoft down and bankrupt the arrogant little Mr. Gates.
