VB 2005 and Windows vista

Hi

As Windows Vista is around the corner, I'm considering upgradeing my dev
machine. But, one thing I'm curiouse about it if there are any known issues
with Vista and Visual Studio 2005.
Not fun to use 2 days reinstalling, and when I'm finnally sitting down to do
some programming, something hangs or is broken. I've heard something that
Visual Studio 2005 will not be supported until SP 1 for VS is released.
Anyone got any info?

/A.

Hmmm I didn't hear that. We have a developer machine running Vista RC with
Studio 2005 and it seems to be working okay.

Although I can't seem to find the article now, I did read somewhere
that VS2005 may have some issues *read: bugs* when running on Vista,
but they should be addressed with sp1. It didn't elaborate on what the
possible issues were, but apparently they must not be too major or else
Robinson wouldn't be running it.

Anyways, I wouldn't worry to much about the bugs, after all I'm running
vs2005 on XP and I get bugs/errors all the time - so how much worse
could Vista make it? :-)

Thanks,

You are right about the article. There are issues with the base release of
Visual Studio 2005 and Vista. Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is supposed to resolve
the issues, but it isn't available yet. Here is an article from Somasegar's
blog announcing SP1, where he mentions a "few compatibility issues."

I think this is the article you were referring to, from MCP Magazine.

I installed VS.NET 2005 final on Vista Ultimate RTM. I have a web project that I'd like open but receive this message: The project file 'c:\myproj.csproj' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation. I then downloaded and installed the web application support for VS.NET 2005: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B05EE00-9554-4733-8725-3CA89DD9BFCA&displaylang=en. Still same error.

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...

Hi, Hoping someone out there can help me... I just built a new Vista Home Premium 64 PC. So far everything has gone well so this morning I decided to install Visual Studio 2005 Professional. Whilst installing I got some dialogs saying there were compatibility issues with the O/S but I let it install anyway assuming that the Vista SP1 would solve them (which the MS site says it does). So, apart from that, VS2005 installed fine and it...

Hi experts, We are trying to migrate from Visual Studio 6 (C++ project) on Windows 2000 to Visual Studio 2005 SP1 on Windows Vista but found that the migrated program runs slower in both OS.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
