Alienware Repave Clean Image Install List

I already did my "Inessential List of Tools" back some time ago but yesterday, in the attempted install of the new VS2008 SP1, I found that the so-called Hotfix Cleanup Utility would not work for me. Nothing was really working to remove the Beta 1 bits including manual registry methods, so I decided to repave the Alienware. Several people thought this would be worth posting as to what I installed and what order, so here goes.

  1. Vista Ultimate + patches
  2. Vista SP1
  3. Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite
  4. Live Mesh (holding files from old image)
  5. Reflector plus SysInternals stuff
  6. Visual Studio 2008 SP1/.NET Framework 3.5 SP1
  7. SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition
  8. Silverlight Beta 2 released yesterday
  9. PowerShell
  10. Resharper 4.0
  11. E Text Editor
  12. Office 2007 Ultimate
  13. Zune software
  14. Nunit, MbUnit, XUnit, TDD.NET
  15. Plaxco and Xonbi

Those are the major items, most of the rest can be found on Scott's list or mine.
