Vista's user account protection caused problems with Visual Studio 2005, and Microsoft addressed this with the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista. I'm having similiar problems running VS2005 on Windows 7, but I can't find any info from Microsoft directly addressing this. Should I just install the Vista service pack onto Windows 7?
Thanks,
Phil

The Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista works fine on Windows 7. (At least, that's what I've been using, and it hasn't broken for me for any C++ or C# development.)
