Visual Studio 2005 on WindowsVista Business... ...Success!

Yesterday saw a successful installation of Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista Business edition. Following Microsoft MSDN advice, I installed Visual Studio 2005, then Service Pack 1, then Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista.

After several hours of installation, I was able to actually run Visual Studio 2005! Thankfully all went well. I set up an Asp.net C# web application and run it using the local server. This ran with no problems whatsoever, and I can now happily continue with migrating programs.
