As far as I know, Version 8.0.50727.42 is not the (english) service
pack 1, it is an older version of Visual Studio 2005 (I know because
I'm using the older version). The fact that it says "DEU Service Pack
1" confuses me.

In the english VS2005, the "help" menu has an option "Check for
updates". Do you see any available updates there? If so, I would guess
an update will help you.

Also notice, the .NET Framework has it's own versioning scheme,
independently of VS2005. My old VS2005 version also says ".NET
Framework ... SP1".
