Thanks for the info. I just finished a nightmare install of SQL Server 2005 SP1 
and subsequent hot fix. This seems like even more fun.

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Word of caution about the installation of VS2005 SP1


SP1 is out now ... so before you install it:

Be DAMN SURE you have enough disk space on your C, or the installation will 
backtrack the *whole* thing, even there was 6 minutes left out of a gazillon. 
No. No retry button.

FYI, I had more than 2 GB free on my C. I still do not know how much I need, 
but I will move thing around to have double that.

Oh, and if the installation fails, it will leave the whole .msp sitting in 
c:\windows\installer and when you start over, it will copy it *another* time.

Ah, and it loads every single bit of the patch in RAM. Yep, that's 450 MB.

Really, I don't know what to say ...
