I tried installing my VS2005 Pro on Vista Ultimate 32 bit RTM today and got
errors stating that VS2005 was not compatible with Vista.

Microsoft......please pull your finger out of my ass and tell me this is a
joke.

It must be a joke....because I also have read that VS2002 and VS2003 will
not be supported on Vista.  This clearly violates Microsoft's own terms of
support for these products.

Is this even legal?

It runs fine if you dont use UAC, if you are a full permission admin it
works perfectly.. the Vista patch fixes some of the UAC issues

Why do we need to keep going around in circles on this for the last 2 days?
We already established that 2005 installs on Vista and a patch is available,
and that 2003 "can be" installed but may have issues.

And it probably will be rehashed again and again for VB.Net 2003 as well as
future crap when Microsoft disregards developers by making prior versions
incompatible...let me see, VB.Net 2003 has been out 3 years and now it's
incompatible with their new operating system.  I think I'll skip Vista and
wait for further Linux development!

Glad you can afford a grand or two every three years or so to upgrade your
software...I can't.

If you do choose that path,  I strongly suggest looking into REALbasic.

REALbasic will allow you (in the $600 professional version) to compile apps
that run on Linux, Mac and Windows from the same source code.

The Linux version (compiles apps for Linux only) is free.

www.realbasic.com

Thanks for tip.  Do you have any idea of how steep the learning curve is for
someone who is already high up on VB.Net?  I just can't afford a new OS's and
then also have to spend another 500dlrs to upgrade to VB.Net 2005.

Have you considered trying out VB2005Express? It's free.
