Error installing Visual C# 2005 Express

[Fernando]

Hi all,
I'm trying to install VC# 2005 Express in order to do some development
testing on Vista. I've downloaded the express installer (not the full iso
image), and I get an error which says I need to have installed Windows XP
Service Pack 2 ????

Running setup with compatibility mode set to XP SP2 doesn't work (same
error message). Boot on to safe mode and ran it from the built in
Administrator account and I don't get the error, but the installer needs
BITS service enabled in order to proceed downloading files, so I can't
install anyway because I can't start this service.

Some suggestion??

Thanks in advance

Fernando

It's not compatible with Vista yet - no doubt they'll make it applyable )

Do you know if VB 2005 is compatible with Vista yet?

the same to c# isnt it?
