finally managed to install Visual studio 2005 on Vista Home Premium. Slow-ish internet bandwidth didn't help. After installing VS, I had to apply Team suite SP1. and then run VS2005 Sp1 for vista, which is kinda like service pack for service pack. These aren't just the patches, I still have to run and fix for various other patches toolsets and extensions, but I will take them on need basis. If you have UAC enabled, it can be frustratingly slow and irritating
There are plenty of articles thankfully on MSDN and on internet, which does provide detailed information.

oh, VS.NET 2002 and 2003 aren't supported on Vista, but VB6.0 supported??? I am also facing problem with windows explorer. Crashes and restarts once in a while. I am guessing that its a incompatible shell extension. No time to debug and fix .. My vista experience has been bumpy alright! (Humpty dumpty sat on a wall, humty dumpty had a great fall?). I like to adopt softwares early and its fun sometimes finding ways around blocks, but it can be maddenning when pressed for time.
Gonna watch F1 (Sepang) and then got some 'homework' to do ..
hasta la vista!
