A few months ago I installed Windows 7 on a new computer and then installed VS2010 and then attempted to open/work on a project that targeted FW2. The project wouldn't open saying that I had to install FW2 (As if the Win7 install had not installed FW2 already) So, I simply assumed that W7 didn't automatically include FW2 and I thought nothing more about it.
But recently I've been installing various OSs on VMs for testing debug purposes and in all cases I find that FW2 is already installed on Vista and Win7.
But now I don't understand why I had that problem a few months ago where I had to install Fw2 after installing VS2010?
Is it a case that 'some' installations of Win7 will include FW2 while others don't ? Or does installing VS2010 on a new Win7 mean that FW2 has to be reinstalled ?
Just curious.
Thanks
