VS2005 NOT Compatiblke with Vista? Are you serious?!

I tried installing my VS2005 Pro on Vista Ultimate 32 bit RTM today and got
errors stating that VS2005 was not compatible with Vista.

Microsoft...... please pull your finger out of my ass and tell me this is a
joke.

It must be a joke....because I also have read that VS2002 and VS2003 will
not be supported on Vista. This clearly violates Microsoft's own terms of
support for these products.

Is this even legal?

Should we apply the patch before installing or just ignore installation
errors and apply the patch after?

And, when we patch, which patch do we use? The BETA Vista Service Pack 1
(at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en)
or the Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1 (at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en)
or some other patch that I haven't seen?

Geez people.....REAL basic is looking better all the time.

It runs fine if you dont use UAC, if you are a full permission admin it
works perfectly.. the Vista patch fixes some of the UAC issues

Is there a list of VS2005/Vista issues somewhere?

I assume it is best to avoid using VS2005 on Vista for any production stuff
at this time - correct?
Jan 29 '07 #9
To answer my own question....the postings at
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=274496 seem to indicate that
you should install VS2005, then SP1 then the Vista patch.

I still haven't found a complete listing of Vista/VS2005 problems though.

What do we get from Vista besides yet another learning curve, hasle and different bugs to resolve? Guy

Hi all... Well my earlier post aboout not being able to access http://localhost has been resolved. I am still having problems testing my Web site project.

I install Visual Studio 2005 Pro on Vista. I open and migrate a 2003 web project to 2005. I attempt to browse an aspx file from the Solution Exploer. It displays a blank html page. I create a master page with 3 content placeholders. I create a WebForm that uses the master and then browse it to have a look. I get an empty html page. I change from the IIS to the internal server. No change. Only displays blank page.

Not sure if Vista factors into the equation or not, but my guess would be YES. I installed Visual Studio 2005 (+SP1) on a Vista laptop and my ASP .NET webcontrols (and AJAX controls) are not registering in intellisense and are not avail for drag/drop from the toolbox (greyed out). I can force them in there and compile/run just fine. I already tried the "repair" option from the add/remove programs entry. Any thoughts? I know there...

After migrating from XP to Vista, the following piece of code Process.Start("subst", drive + " " + path); as well as DefineDosDevice(0, drive, path); // importing kernel32.dll simply stopped mapping drives. The funny thing is that running "subst " from command line performs this mapping. Any Ideas?

I've installed VS2005 + SP1 + SP1 Vista Update on Premier Home version of Vista. I have my DPI cranked up to 120. As a result, the icons on the VS2005 toolbar are totally fuzzy. It's obvious that VS2005 is scaling up icons. Is there a way to disable icon scaling? There is a similar issue with Office 2007 on Windows XP with high DPI and there used to be an identical issue with Office 2003 as well (...
