From: Saga on 1 Feb 2010 15:16 I have been using Google to search for this, but have found a few issues only with the beta version of Windows 7; however, no mention is made if it is x32 or x64. I will be installing VS2008Pro on a PC with Win 7 x64. Does any one know if there are any gotchas I should be on the look out for? Thanks! Saga

I use VS 2008 daily (working a project) and play with VS 2010 quite a bit. All's well so far.

Saga It's been a while since I installed it, but AFAIR, you have to install SP1 for VS2008. If it installs SQL Server 2005, you'll have to install the appropriate SP for that to work on Windows 7. I can't remember if the installer takes care of that for you in the "Check for updates" stage. And when you're doing web projects, you need to "Run as Administrator". Other than that, no problems. -- Andrew

If all goes well (I get the discs) I will be installing tonight. I will take into consideration you remarks regarding SP1. Speaking of admin privileges, I only have Power User privileges at work, does this mean that I will be limited in the development that I do with VS2008 Pro? Noteworthy is the fact that I do not have the local admin pwd. Thanks! Saga
