Whenever I try to open a VS 2003 project on Vista I get the error :
How do I solve this?
Currently, Visual Studio.NET is not supported on Vista. The earliest version
which will *ever* be supported is Visual Studio.NET 2005 + SP1 + a patch
which is currently in testing. Earlier versions will never be supported:

N.B. this doesn't necessarily mean that earlier versions won't run - you
might get some assistance from this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb188244.aspx - however you might
like to consider *why* Microsoft can't support earlier versions on Vista,
and then decide whether you really want to run it on that platform or not...
If you have sufficient hardware, by far the simplest workaround is to
download Virtual PC 2007 (it's free), create a WinXP Pro guest, and proceed
from there - subject to licensing, of course...
