Upgrading to Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 Service Pack 2

This section details the steps required to upgrade an existing installation of MCMS SP1a, which includes the Developer Tools for Visual Studio.NET 2003 component. The outline process for an upgrade is as follows:

1. 1. Install Visual Studio 2005.

2. 2. Install MCMS 2002 Service Pack 2.

We will perform all steps while logged on as a local machine administrator.

Installing Visual Studio 2005

Visual Studio 2005 can be installed side by side with Visual Studio.NET 2003. Once we have completed the upgrade, we can remove Visual Studio.NET 2003 if we wish to only develop MCMS applications using SP2 and ASP.NET 2.0.

5. 5. On the second Options page, select the Visual C# and Visual Web Developer checkboxes within the Language Tools section, and the Tools checkbox within the .NET Framework SDK section. Click Install.
