windows 7 and visual studio 2005

[Simon Whale]

im looking at upgrading my home computer which i also run Visual Studio 2005
on

is there any issues with it? I have researched on the web and found a vista
/ windows 7 compatibility update to install on sp1 (Visual Studio)

is there any other issues than this?

Many thanks
Simon

No problems. Now that the RTM is released (was released in July for MSDN
subscribers), update and then run any updates it suggests for Visual
Studio. If you have problems and have to manually instlal the
compatibility update, which I doubt, you can do that later.

I have not run Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7, but I have been running
Visual Studio 2008 on it since the early betas. There were patches back
then for VS 2008, as well, but they are slipstreamed in, or part of
update, now that Windows 7 is fully released.

I would be extremely shocked if VS 2005 fails to work after upgrade. In
fact, I will be relatively surprised if the patch is not already
included in the release media or at least grabbed during the upgrade
install step of the installer.


Peace and Grace,
