Re: Autoupdate can't copy usertype.dat
are you sure it doesn't copy it?
I've just tested it, and it copied the file fine.
I have vista 64 too, VS 2008 EE.

do you get some error message?
or the file isn't present in the target location (..\common7\ide\usertype.dat) ?
do you have it in source location "sdk\installation\usertype.dat" ?

Yes I got an error message 'Error copying "usertype.dat" to Visual Studio folder.'
the usertype.dat is in both target location, and source location.
Is it a security issue?

edit: The Autoupdate run successfully when I run it as Administrator.

in the latest version ive updated the tool to show a hint "run as admin" if the error occurs.
