I have to agree with Marvin. The new developers to .Net and Visual
Studio might prefer a full automatic install. Also, it seems easy to
make a mistake, and if something isn't working right in VS after
making all the manual changes that are required. It might be hard to
find what you did wrong.

As an example, I know I can't see any problem with the configuration
settings that I entered manually, but VS2005 is still telling me that
I did something wrong with installing Firebird ADO.Net, when I try to
create some of the enterprise solutions that Microsoft provides via
their Guidance packages.  I just want to see what they are and in
which kind of project that I might use them, but for now, I can't.  I
do have the proper GUID copied from the GAC to those locations that I
had to edit manually.

So, I wonder if a fully automated install into VS would avoid those
problems, that I'm having.

Also, I'm just starting to learn C# in VS2005 and VS2008.  But, I've
been a Delphi developer for 13 years and using Firebird since the
first version.
