Using Vista Home Premium with VB.net 2005...

I am looking at purchasing a new laptop and of course they all come with
Vista now. I want to use the new OS but want to make sure that I am not
going to be pooched when trying to install and run vs.net 2005 on a vista
machine!

Has anyone had any experience with this yet? Will I be safe with Vista?

Thanks, Brad

VS2005 works on Vista - you do have to install SP1 and the Vista
Patch. But, once you do that it works fine.

VS 2003 and 2002 DO NOT work on Vista.

I have Vista Ultimate and Visual Studio 2005 running fine.

I too am running Vista Home Premium and VS without any problems. I
believe the downloads for the Express editions are all ready patched
and ready-to-go, as those are what I have on my Vista home machine.
(My work machine is still running VS 2005 Pro on Windows XP).

Thanks,

Seth Rowe
