I got VS 2008 C# Express to install on my Vista machine. But
ActiveX controls I wrote that work on every other IDE,
including VS 2008 C# Express on XP, get errors with the Toolbox.

If you need to program on the Vista machine I'd consider dual booting
XP and do the programming on the XP side. Maybe by the next release
of VS they'll have the Vista kinks worked out. It's probably easier to
set up dual boot than to mess with the hassles if you do get VS 2008
to install on Vista. I removed it from the Vista machine.

It may be one of those things where if you have a Vista PC that it
likes you're ok, but if you have a Vista machine it doesn't like, no
amount of messing around is going to provide a non-distracting IDE
to use.

Hi Fusion,

Your SxS assembly has been modified by another application and preventing installation...

Microsoft.VC80.ATL is installing file "atl80.dll" and used by "Active Template Library"

You may contact developer support team using ways described on Microsoft Help and Support

MilesAhead,

I have yet to have issues with VS2008 Professional with anything I have tried, Your apps properly just need a minor rewrite and reference the newer Vista librarys as they changed quite a few Just remember to get VisualStudio ServicePack1 too

Steven is has nothing to do with apps. I have ActiveX Controls that I install in the Toolbox. They work on VB 6, VC++ 6, Delphi 5, and any other IDE I have tried that accepts ActiveX Controls including Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on XP. Just not VS 2008 on Vista. If you are trouble free with VS 2008 Pro then MS probably quit fixing the Express version at a certain point. Have you ever installed licensed 3rd party ActiveX Controls in the Toolbox under Vista?
