VS 2005 & Vista

[Brent]

Ok i just went from XP Professional to Vista Ultimate x64 last night. I
installed vs 2005, sp1, and the update for sp1 for vista. I started up
VS2005 and still got the warning message that deals with compatability of
Vista & VS2005 which i was suprised. I would think after the update for sp1
for vista would have taken care of that but i guess not but anyways i
digress. Part of the error message and the page its linked to says you
should run VS2005 with administrative priveledges by going to the icon
properties of the VS 2005 Icon. Anways is this still true even after you run
the update for sp1 for vista or was this just the workaround before?

thanks,
Brent

You have to run VS2005 in administrative mode if you are running Windows
Vista. As far as I know, they haven't done anything about that, and I
haven't seen anything posted to the contrary in any of the .Net groups
recently.

You only have to run VS2005 as an administrator if you want to do things
that only an administrator can do. Like, debug a process that's running
under a different username or registering a COM object. That's not
something that Microsoft can or should fix. Non privileged users should
never be able to debug someone elses process.

I run VS2005 as a non-administrator and I rarely ever run into problems.
Even under XP, I would use a non-admin account for 99% of my work. I only
log on with an administrator account when I really need to.

The only thing when you need to run VS2005 in admin mode is to get access to
IIS to design and debug web page. According to message you need to wait sp1
for vista (end of the year). However if you enable windows autification in
IIS you will get ability to debug.
