The software you're trying to install is an upgrade from the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition. If you do not have that version of Visual Studio installed, you won't be able to install the upgrade.
However, I would recommend you downloaded the Visual Studio 2010 Express edition, it's fully functional and I used it for a long time before upgrading to the professional edition. To be honest the only feature I use in the professional edition is the addon system. Plus, the 2010 Express edition is free and available for anyone.
It reads like you bought or downloaded an update for an existing Visual Studio 2008 program. If you don't have the original program, the update won't do you any good. If I've misinterpreted the problem, please elaborate.
Its not much of a solution to your problem as i discovered when doing my CW. i had to use a spare copy of vista by partitioning the drive. If you have WV, then i suggest you use that
Hello, From the message you get one infers that this is not the full program, but an upgrade to a previous version of Visual Studio. Even if you have a Visual Studio Express edition already installed on your computer, this update is not compatible with it.
According to MSDN Visual studio 2005 works on vista ( see here ) . But as a developer, i can suggest you, if it not works, you can easily maintain a dual boot system with another HDD. That would be better for you. A lot of developing tool can not work with vista. I started using vista and threw it away then.
