Upgrading Visual Studio 2008 from trial to full on Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000)

Question

I tried to upgrade from trial VS2008 to full... but, on Windows 7 Beta there is no \"Upgrade to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\" option... anyone knows why?... did anyone else enc

Answer 1

Yes, there is no possibility to upgrade from the trial version of Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 as the upgrade button and product key fields are missing. But it is possible to restore back their visibility by using Anvir Task Manager. For an unknown reason those controls are hidden and disabled on Windows 7 but are ok on Windows Vista. I've successfully upgraded my Visual Studio once restored upgrade controls.
