Windows 7 Compatibility

[rbulph]

I've been running Microsoft Ready to Launch Visual Studio 2005 on an xp operating system and just upgraded to Windows 7. When installing vs after the upgrade I got messages about how it was incompatible with Windows 7. But I ignored them and vs seems to work OK. Am I OK to carry on ignoring this? I don't really want to have to upgrade to a new version of Visual Studio if I can avoid it.

As far as I remember is should run fine under windows 7 a long as you have applied any service packs to visual studio I think there was only ever a Sp1 anyway and a specific update for vista.

Easiest place to get them is

Sp1 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=5553
Vista Update - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=7524

Thanks, yes I have SP1 installed. Haven't run into any problems so far.
