initial version
Notes and instructions provided here are for fresh installation of Windows 7 x64 on a VMware
virtual machine. Responses from and requirements for computers with these applications
already installed, or with legacy versions of these applications, may be different from the
instructions presented here.
You must have administrative privileges to complete some of the tasks described. Challenges
from Windows to approve an administrative action are assumed to be acknowledged.
These instructions are an amalgamation of what worked. They include notes and troubleshooting
from installations of Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012. It may be best to read an entire section
before implementing it.

Final disclaimer: I did not get everything to work, then retest the instructions from scratch.
These instructions are believed to be correct and complete. Other than that, good luck.
2 Basic Configuration
I configured one development server - Peabody.
2.1
VM configuration
Guest OS: Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)
1 processor
2 GB RAM
2 NICS
o NIC 1: Network: VLAN 494, Adapter: E1000
o NIC 2: Network: VLAN 494, Adapter: E1000
 32 GB hard disk, thin provision (I ran into space restrictions with this. But since I could
not delete a VM and start over on the UCCS system, I left it. You may want to make it
larger. I suggest 64 GB.)
 Datastore: en_windows_7_professional_n_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677207.iso

5 Install Utilities
5.1 7-Zip Installation
You will need a Zip program to un-zip the programs downloaded. I use Source Forge 7-Zip
from http://www.7-zip.org. Others should work also.
5.2 Install WinSCP
The WinSCP program facilitates the transfer of files from Basil to Peabody. Only Basil was
loaded with SCP server. The other Ubuntu platforms, and Peabody, must copy their files to and
from Basil.
Note that every time I started WinSCP, it took a while to connect.
1. download the latest version of WinSCP from http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
2. I installed the 5.10 version
a. Typical installation
b. Commander interface
c. decline Google Chrome
5.3 SSH Secure Shell
Prof Chow has available, upon request, a copy of SSH Secure Shell client. This makes moving
files and general CLI access more convenient.
5.4 Install Notepad++
This is an optional utility. I find it useful.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Download the latest version from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Accept all the defaults.
I installed the Compare plugin
I turned off Remember current session for next launch.

5.5 Install WinMerge
This is an optional utility. I find it useful.
1. Download the latest version from http://winmerge.org/
2. Accept the defaults
a. I created a desktop icon
b. I did not create a quick launch icon
6 Visual Studio 2012 Pro
I downloaded Visual Studio Professional 2012 from the MS Academic Alliance. This placed an
.iso file in the Downloads folder. I then used 7-zip to extract the archive. If you can mount the
.iso file on the VMware system and access the installation as a CD-drive, that works also.
6.1
Installation
1. Double click on vs_professional.exe
2. Select to accept the license. If you choose to not accept the license, Visual Studio will
not load. Next.
3. I selected all. Click Install. Order carryout.
4. Click Launch.
5. I selected Visual C++ Development as my default environment settings. Start.
6. Uncheck Show page at startup. Close the startup page.
7. Close Visual Studio.
8. I pinned Visual Studio to the Start menu.
a. Start | All Programs | Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
b. Right click on Visual Studio 2012
c. Select Pin to Start Menu.
9. Check for updates and install as needed.
10. Delete Visual Studio Professional iso files to free up hard disk space.

SQL Server 2012
My ESXi version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional absolutely refused to install SQL Server
2008 Express. I tried for two days, delete, add, uninstall, re-install. I even tried to install SQL
Server 2008 R2 Developer and that would not work. Finally, I downloaded and successfully
installed SQL Server 2012 Express with these instructions. Upgrade instructions for an initial
installation of SQL Server 2008 should be similar.
If you loaded Visual Studio 2012 Professional, this setup should not be needed. If the
installation process below will not let you upgrade, a good installation may already be in place.
From the SQL Server Installation Center, select New SQL Server stand-alone installation.
Follow the prompts. If you come to the Setup, Installation Type window and an instance of
SQLExpress already exists, you should be good.
Best to download and install Express with Tools: http://www.microsoft.com/enus/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Download: ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe
