  • 0

Is it possible to run the 32-bit version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows Vista 64-bit system?

  • Are there any known caveats that I would need to be aware of?
  • Would have to install the x64 version of the .NET Framework?
  • Would there be any issues on building software targeted for x86?
  • Would there be any (justifiable) arguments for getting the x64 version of VS2008 instead of reusing the current x86 license?

Quite tempted on getting a x64 Vista rig to be able to take advantage of more RAM 🙂

  1. There is no x64 version of Visual Studio 2008. I’m running the standard 32-bit version on Vista x64 Ultimate and it works fine. There really are no day-to-day issues that I’ve run across. You just install it and go.
