Installing Visual Studio 2005 on Vista Home Premium 64 bit

8 New Member
Hi All,

I wonder why I bought the Vista Home Premium 64 bit laptop (perhaps only the 64 bit thing lured me :) :( ) because I am unable to do anything really useful on the machine. Here is another problem that I am facing.

I want to install Visual Studio 2005 on my laptop that has Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS installed.

When I tried to install the studio, after installing the 64 bit prerequisites from the Team Suite DVD, it asked me to provide the VS DVD even though I never removed it from drive, there is no question of removing it while the installation is on.

I tried to find out the solution to the problem with the help file. There was a list of supported OSs on which I could install VS2k5. This list did not have ANY version of Vista.

Does that mean I cannot install VS on Vista Home Premium 64 bit (or for that matter any version of Vista) or there is some problem with my DVD itself? If I can, what do I need to do to install it successfully?

Please help!!!!

Thanks alot!!

I have had no experience with the 64 bit version of windows vista, but I have installed VS2005 on the 32 bit version of vista. Are you running the installer as administrator? If not, When you first put in the DVD do not let it do the autorun. Instead goto My computer, selected your dvd drive, right click it and select explore. From the DVD files find the autorun or the stepup.exe right click the file and select "run as administrator" and see if that fixes the problem.

Hi,

I could install the studio on Vista 64 bit but not from the Team Suite DVD. I instead copied whole of the DVD to hard disk and then ran the setup. Even though I could install the studio, it gave me some warnings saying that the version of studio has COMPATIBILITY ISSUES with the installed version of OS (Vista Home Premium 64 bit) but it didn't mention what the issue was and how could it be solved.

Also when it proceeded with the rest of the installation and installed SQL Server, it again gave me the same warning plus said that before I could run SQL Server, I need to install SP2 for it.

I am not sure if SP2 will resolve the SQL Server compatibility lssue but I would be installing it today.

However, I still need to look into whole of this thing but by then can anybody help me with these compatibility issues?

Thanks!

I had the warnings about compatibility issues, but I believe they were resolved with an update (its been a long time, I went back to XP). Is your vista up to date with the latest patches? It also might of been a patch for Visual studios. You can find the 2005 visual studio patch for vista off of the microsoft website.

Hi, On Friday I attended the Microsoft EVO conference in London where they talked about Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange 2007 and how they all work together beautifully, how they were all "people-ready" etc...

Will I be safe with Vista? Thanks, Brad

Does anyone know which edition of Vista you have to buy if you use Visual Studio and probably will upgrade to Visual Studio 2008? Is the Ultimate edition necessary, or will the home or business edition work just fine?

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,...
