MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO PREMIUM 2013” installation concerns
I have a server running “Windows Server 2008 R2 “. It is a stand-alone server and not in a domain. It’s in a workgroup
- I am the IT Consultant that supports this server
- The owner of the server is working with a software specialist creating some type of “warehousing” database and he stated that he wanted “- My concern is the fact I know nothing about “MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO PREMIUM 2013”. I created an ISO image of the MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO PREMIUM 2013 onto a DVD and it’s in the CD/DVD rom of the server
- So my concerns are “What should I know before I install the program?”. I’m only going to install the program and then hand it over to the developer
- The server has a 72 GB C-Drive partition mirrored
- The data sits on a raid 5 136GB F-drive with 110Gb free
- I’m not sure if I have to install the program on the C-Drive (which basically is the boot and system partition) or if I can install it on the DATA drive
- Basically need advice how to install the application before handing it over to the develper
Any help would be appreciated

I was able to get it installed by using this link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/e2h7fzkw.aspx#bkmk_media
The default install points to C: Program Files (x86)
I pointed it to a DATA drive on the server. The install does tell you that it will still install a portion of the program on the C-Drive and the remaining to the requested location. It did this fine
My concern are the updates. The initial install is "Release 1". Release 4 is out and I believe it supersedes releases 2 and 3.
This link points me to the Update Release 4
Just looking for some additional input

Does it make since to install this on a production server or should it be installed on a workstation?
I would never install it on a production server, not to do development anyway as you want to leave the production environment untainted by any development activities so I would install to a workstation and then publish to the production server.
