Ok, so I'm on about day 3 of trying to get a MS ASP.NET 4.5 environment set up, and I feel like killing myself. Every download is gigabytes and gigabytes. It feels like everything wants me to reboot my PC. Installations take hours at a time. On opening the project, half the references are gone, and I have to rebuild (takes ages) the solution to figure out what exactly is missing. Using NuGet doesn't seem to actually install many of the things and so I have to manually do it and wonder why some need me to put -pre on the end. SQL Server is a ~4GB download. Everything is hidden away in weird little dialogs and installation steps that if you mess up you have no idea how to fix. Windows is now taking up about 50GB and it's rising. Install steps appear to do nothing and then spring a window up after about five minutes. I don't know what is going on. My co-worker and I just want to sob and have this nightmare finish. I never want to use Windows ever again. I need a fucking drink. I miss being able to `apt-get install python-virtualenv postgresql-9.1 virtualenvwrapper; mkvirtualenv derp; pip -r requirements.txt` and be pretty much set up. On the plus side I've read quite a lot of this book...
