I have Vista Ultimate (from MSDN), and VS2005 installed fine, despite the warning that there were known issues. I said to run it anyways, and it started fine. The problem is, though, that when i hit Create Project, it says no templates are installed,
even though my template paths seem to be correct.
Then, I checked out the SP1 page, and took the SP1 for Vista Beta. I tried to run that but it said:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program exists on your computer and that you have
the correct upgrade patch."
I have VS2005 Standard. I just ran the patch from the desktop.
Any ideas?
thanks

Right click the Visual Studio icon and click (in the context menu that is showing up) the "Run as administrator" entry. Clicking that means that Visual Studio gets Administrator privileges and most of the issues should go away.
You can also right click the icon and click on "Properties". In the window that is showing up, you need to click the "Compatibility" tab page and then check the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox to have it always run as administrator.
Note that you need to grant the program the Administrator rights each time it starts. I hope this helps

btw after i get that error screen it shows the create project box.
The weird thing is that i have every template for "Other Project Types", like setups and such, and every template for Visual C++, which i almost never use. But 0 for any other type. -

So what do you expect for nothin'... :P
I'm guessing here, but try [resetting the user data], making sure that you run as yourself, but with elevated privledges.
Or if you intend to always run as Administrator, then as Administrator. -

sorry, guys. I didnt read the download page for the Vista update. I needed SP1 first. I system restored, reinstalled vs2005, installed sp1, then the vista update, ran with elevated privileges, and im all good. thanks though!
