installing visual studio 2005 vista

Has anyone had any luck installing VS2005 on Vista 5365?
I'm having no joy at all - the setup program completely craters before even starting the install. Ironically, VS did install successfully on 5308, which was otherwise too buggy to work on.

I have not attempted, it did install successfully for me on 5308 also. Have you disabled or UAP to see if it installs then? -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Yes, I disabled it. I hadn't disabled in under 5308 - maybe I'll try turning it back on to see if that helps.... (wouldn't that be ironic!)

Yup, I got it to install - eventually. The setup crashed out quite a few times, and then it just worked and the install went flawlessly.

Gee... that's.... encouraging? I've only tried twice so far - maybe if I give it another few tries I'll get lucky...

I turned off a few things:
- UAC (aka UAP) (actually, I tried it both ways, but in the end, it's off) - DEP/NX - Security Center service - Superfetch service - Windows Search service
.... and now the VS installer is running. Of those, I strongly suspect that it's DEP/NX that made the difference, but who knows...
