VS 2003 and Vista

[arkadia93]

I've heard rumours that VS 2003 is not supported by Vista, is this correct? I have just purchased a new laptop with Vista OS, does this mean I cannot work on any of my VS 2003 projects on it?

VS 2003 isn't officially supported on Vista, although there is a workaround.

To debug the application, try this:

1) Make sure you configure IIS7 to run the application pool using ASP.NET 1.1.

2) Make sure you launch VS 2003 by right-clicking on it and using the Run as administrator ?option.

3) Rather than use F5 or Control-F5 to debug, instead using the Debug->Attach to Process menu item to select the IIS worker process to attach. This will enable you to debug the application.

Thanks...that's a relief...all but one of my projects are in VS 2003.

Once you convert to VS2005, you could always try to upgrade them via the Upgrade Wizard as well.
