| I ordered VS2005 a while ago standart edition (still waiting for it).
Anyway looking closely at the various edition's features again I suddenly
realized:
1].
VS2005 standart doesn't seems to come with setup/MSI project, is that right?
How am I do create setup project then?
I know of these free tool:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/
http://hmne.sourceforge.net/
But what about the bootstrapper? (.NET detection)? how could I integrate
with these?
I also found that:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
But I am not sure as to how it could help me create application installers.
2]. No unit testing.
allright, I could use NUnit.
3]. No static analysis or code coverage. uh, what is that?
4]. No code profiling.
Does it mean no performance tool?
How could I do performance debugging then?
I knew of a free tool doing that. Available somewhere as a separate
download, but can't remember it by now.
Any tip?
what suprises me more is that even the professional edition don't comes with
code profiling/unit testing

| If you NEED all this then the standard edition is NOT for you.
In fact the current way MS has things set up, if you want unit testing and
code profiling then all you are left with is VSTS (Visual Studio Team
System).
Just stick with VS.NET 2005 PRO (notice I said pro here)
NUnit
NCover
NDoc (when it supports 2005 *sigh*)
FXCop
....and you should be good to go.

| unfortunately, as I told.
I already ordered the standart edition and the pro edition is not in my
budget so far.
