help about will indicate the service pack release

<div>
Yeah that's where I'm looking, but it doesn't mention it. &nbsp;Just says Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and then the version #. &nbsp;I would normally assume that it isn't installed but I remember something about the version number indicating it... &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Does yours mention SP1 in the help-about?

How to tell if Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is installed?

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Editors IDEs

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
