If so, is there anything) I should be aware of?
If not, can you tell me why Visual Basic.net professional 2005 edition

Here's what you need to do.
1. Install VS 2005, ignoring any dialogs that warn you that VS 2005 is not
supported in Vista (that's the "nag" previously mentioned). You should be
able to simply do a standard install.
2. Install SP1 for VS 2005.
3. Install the Vista patch for VS 2005.

Note that you may still have to "run as administrator" for full VS 2005
functionality.
Opinion: you'd be better off upgrading to VS 2008, which is designed for
Vista.

"PvdG42":

I want visual studio .net 2005 since that is the version I am using at
work. I want to be able to make changes at home that I can apply to my .net
code at work (job)..

If I installed visual studio.net 2008 on my pc on home, and brought the
code back to my job, it would not work.

However since the visual studio.net 2005 is embedded within the visual
studio.net 2008 code, would I just tell the config files what version of .net
I am working with?

Let me know if you have suggestions you have.

Thanks!
